Certainly if this is to happen in our future, the Bible would have been a little clearer about it so as we would know it was about to happen.
I still have the Prophecy Digest books....LOL! I think there were four of them, and I have one of the 1988 reasons why Jesus is returning in 1988, or something like that.
Pretty funny reading now, but wow, was it scary 20-25 years ago!

And it wasn't just the UPCers or Apostolics that thought the end of the world was near. I remember hearing about a Baptist pastor in Arizona who told his flock to sell their things and wait for Christ on a certain date.
Well, seems that he only pastored stupid people, cause they did it.
Of course, he lost his church and his flock and had several lawsuits against him...

Seems to me they did the same thing in Thessalonica... Paul had to tell them to go back to work at McDonalds and wait for His coming there.

15 years ago, this one will be funny to. While there are a lot here saying, I dont' know right now....
The heresy hunters are still with us. Only now, instead of stakes, they use their books and radio programs to destroy those they consider heretics.... I'm concerned that heresy hunting may be turning into leukemia because some cultwatchers seem more intent on destroying parts of the body than healing the body....
Re: IRVIN BAXTER-Final 7 Yrs Will Begin This Year!
It is certainly presumptuous that we can prognosticate about the day or the hour, afterall, even the SON testifies that neither he, nor the angels, knows the day nor the hour...
But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. [Mk 13:32]
But the scripture provides a very plain admonition describing the thoughts in the heart of the evil servant:
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
because of this kind of heart thinking, the evil servant goes and:
And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
resulting in the evil servant being completely unaware of his Lord's return:
The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
and the evil servant's Lord shall bring judgement upon the evil servant in the form of"
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
So, what should our watchfulness include? Very few, if any of us, will be able to consistently say (in our hearts), that our Lord's return could be today, for 1 year, 5 years, 10 years or more.
