The Mandy Moore End Time Prophecy

I am the son of an extremely proud Jewish man, Moshe J. Wagman, and I wasn’t alive on May 14, 1948 when Israel became a nation, and I was only two when the city of Jerusalem was repossessed by Israel in a six-day war.
So, to me, growing up, it could have appeared that Israel was always there and I could have known nothing about the fight to regain a piece of land that the Jewish people believed they had a God given right to. Except that I had a father who discussed these two significant periods of time often in our home.
Fast forward to 1991: Not until choices I had made in my first eight years of radio led me to a life of brokenness, drunkenness, drugs and selfishness, a time alone in deep despair and depression made me last resort a comment into the ether that changed everything, “God, if you are not in my life, I cannot go on in this life.”
The flippant cry from a broken heart landed and immediately, the greatest feeling of love came over my life, and a voice from out of somewhere, connected within my soul saying, “Robert, everything will be okay, trust Me and follow Me.” I was changed, like the flip of a switch and a relationship between me and a God who loved me enough to pull me out of my own muck began.
Mandy Gras
Fast forward to New Orleans 1999, when I was PD at WEZB/New Orleans. We received a visit from a young, not yet old enough to drive, teenager from Orlando named Mandy, who was signed by Epic Records and was soon to debut her first album. The label invited my boss, the late Nick Bazoo and me to lunch at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and there we broke bread with the label and this young girl over hot sizzlin’ steak.
Mandy had been in Tennessee the day before and she was still reeling about a station visit because the PD she had met told her that he liked to go down to the pool and look at all the young girls in their bathing suits.
Nick Bazoo jumped in, “Well, you won’t have to worry about that with Robbie (he called me that), but you might have to worry about him telling you you’re going to hell.” And with that he laughed heartily.
Mandy looked at us both, so I had to explain myself. “I would never tell you you’re going to hell, but I do believe the world is coming to an end soon, and that’s what Nick is referring to.”
Knee Deep Into The Last Days
Now, keep in mind, NEVER in a million years would I have ever brought this up at this luncheon. Never. But Nick brought it up and Mandy looked extremely interested, scared, curious and confused all at once, so we were now knee deep in a discussion that wasn’t going to end anytime soon, because she would propel it by asking a follow up question.
“When will this happen?” she asked.
I didn’t know the answer, so I quoted scripture, “Well the Bible says that no man knows the day or the hour, but there are certain signs that say it is close.” She asked what those were, so I shared that in 1948, Israel became a nation after seizing to exist for more than 2000 years. Out of the blue, one day no Israel, another day, Star of David on a flag, bam, like Shady, Israel’s back, back again. And then I referred to Israel’s occupation of Jerusalem in 1967 and how the prophecies of the Bible, although coded and not spelled out so easy, for all to understand that “this generation” shall not pass until these things take place.
“How soon do you think it will occur?” she asked.
Stellar Careers Take Time
I responded to her from the bottom of my heart, both trying to reduce any anxiety we had just caused, and encouraging her road ahead. I simply said, “You have no worries. You have plenty of time to have yourself a stellar career.”
A few days after the luncheon, a personal note from Mandy came my way, thanking me for the time and for the discussion and the encouragement. I knew she sent personal notes to everyone she met, but I knew that because she put quotes around the ‘discussion’ part that the encouragement about how much time meant something to her.
Sending the personal note made me root harder for her career than I probably would have had we not discussed the timing of the world’s demise, and despite high hopes, she never really took off. She’d get dropped from labels and from time to time an independent album would come out and I would begin rooting for her once again.
She had a couple of moments when the career engine began to rev when she was in the films Saved! and A Walk to Remember but then nothing. She married Ryan Adams, and I was happy for them both, and I continued to root her on, unaware that the relationship had grown toxic.
There was Moore for Mandy After All
And then, as the Bible refers to Rachel as she was to become fruitful, it says, “Then God remembered Rachel!” So, in this case, then God remembered Mandy and This Is Us was about to mind-blowingly infiltrate the very souls and fabric of mankind and Mandy would indeed have a career that few ever find.
I thank God for allowing my word to be good, and for blessing Mandy’s life and career. And for you, get ready. It’s time.
