Pompeo listed out several problems America is facing, including government efforts to "rip faith from our schools," as well as the battle against evil that is "all around us."
"We will continue to fight these battles, it is is a never-ending struggle until the Rapture. Be part of it, be in the fight, ask for forgiveness, heed your pastor's call for action, and great things will be bestowed upon our nation and the world," he told the congregation.
In referencing the Rapture, Pompeo was speaking of a time when Christians believe people living and dead will be raised in the sky to join Jesus.
