Flying down drama by US Pastor to symbolize scripture prediction of Jesus' return

Flying down drama by Pastor Bartholomew Orr of Brown Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee, USA to draw focus of congregants on, what I gather is, the prediction or promise of Christian scripture of the return of Jesus, and whether his congregants are ready for Jesus' return!

Note that there is no attempt to fool people here as the zip line is visible to all. So he is not claiming to do any miracle.

I personally do not find such visual drama appealing in the context of holy scripture. But I sure realize that there are some who would find it appealing. So I do not find anything objectionable in what this Pastor has done.

Anyway, it has brought him fame. Perhaps his congregation will grow. Good for him so long as he does not claim to have any miraculous powers of flying in the air. And does not claim that he is Jesus now! That's how I view it.

This article has a video giving what seems to be the view of the zip-line guys: https://www.wmcactionnews5.com/2018/11/26/flying-preacher-takes-sermon-new-heights-with-zip-line/.
