Omaha billboards herald Jesus' return in May

[December 04, 2010]  OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- A Christian group is proclaiming Jesus' return in billboards going up in Omaha and other U.S. cities for the holiday season.

Allison Warden, of We Can Know, says an analysis of Scripture shows Jesus will come on May 21. She says the billboards showing three wise men following the star of Bethlehem are meant to spur the public's interest in the Bible, not frighten anyone.

Warden says the billboards have gone up in Omaha and Nashville, Tenn. She says they're also going up in Atlanta, Ga.; Bridgeport, Conn.; Detroit, Mich.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; Kansas City, Mo.; Little Rock, Ark.; Louisville, Ky.; and St. Louis, Mo. They'll be up for December.

We Can Know offers resources to learn about the coming of Jesus and the end of days through its website, www.wecanknow.com.
