United States. In the mid-'80s, Breese accepted the call to become speaker on "The King is Coming" telecast and later assumed the presidency of the telecast’s parent organization, "World Prophetic Ministry." His outreach via television spanned the globe, reaching across all of America and into 57 nations of the world. Major publication In 1990, Breese published Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave (). The seven men he highlighted are: Charles Darwin, who systematized and advanced the principle that evolution was behind the origin of species. Karl Marx, who developed and advocated the notion of modern Communism. Julius Wellhausen, who initiated "higher criticism" and "modernism." John Dewey, who argued for an educational system focused on problem solving and the growth of the child in all aspects of his being. Sigmund Freud, who promoted the view that the sexual instinct is the driving force behind all human action. John Maynard Keynes, who advocated the policies for reducing unemployment and expanding the economy that today find their expression in deficit spending and governmental activism. Søren Kierkegaard, who stressed the obligation each person has to make conscious, responsible choices among alternatives, a major tenet of existentialism. Final days Just after the year 2000 rang in, Breese suffered a stroke. He had rarely turned down an invitation to preach. In an average year, he would travel over 100,000 miles to speak at churches, Bible conferences, colleges, universities, evangelistic meetings and debates. The busy schedule had taken its toll. After his stroke, he continued to write. Breese died May 3, 2002. References in popular culture The alternative band They Might Be Giants used samples from Breese in their song "They Might Be Giants" from the album Flood.
