“You can’t scare anyone into your viewpoint or salvation, so it’s an invitation for people to go ahead and look at Scripture.”
According to 20 billboards to appear Monday across metro Detroit, Jesus is returning on May 21, 2011. And if you aren’t saved, it isn’t going to be easy, says the Christian Web site behind the billboards, which are to read “He Is Coming Again!”
The goal is to convince people to accept Jesus and that the Bible is the infallible word of God, said Allison Warden of Raleigh, N.C. She’s with www.wecanknow.com , the site putting up the billboards along with a Christian radio network, Family Radio.
The billboards are to dot various locations in metro Detroit and in eight other cities, Warden said. First reported by the Tennessean, the billboards are being erected during the Christmas season to remind folks of the message of the season.
In Detroit, they will stay up until early January. Warden would not say how much the billboards cost or who is paying for them. But a spokeswoman for CBS Outdoor, which was contracted to put up the billboard posters, said each poster costs $500 per four-week period. They will be placed on surface streets, not off highways.
