  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Without goading, it's now 2022. What timetables proved incorrect?

But a good Amillennial understanding that ONE day the Lord will return can help. Christians experiencing persecution read Revelation with good commentaries and are really encouraged by the vision of God's gospel finally being vindicated.

I am currently working on a brand new antichrist. The next president of the USA. Me get ahead of the end times pack, far too much competition these days.
Since you are saying "a" brand new antichrist, and not "the" Antichrist - remains to be seen.

The Antichrist will come out of the EU, leader of the EU, following Gog/Magog will be perceived by the Jews as the messiah and anointed the King of Israel (coming in his own name) making the person the Antichrist.

The function role of the messiah, the Christ, is to be the King of Israel. The Anti-Christ, to become the Anti-Christ has to be anointed the King of Israel.

John1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.


1John12:12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.



Mark15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

How can anyone say the Prophesies have failed, if the age isn't over yet?
I did not say "Prophecies". Prophecies did not fail. they were fulfilled.

The age is waaay over regarding the previous futurism premises and predictions.

Remember the 1844 or 1948 futurism ideas? Now in dust.

1948, Israel became a nation again in the land in a single day, fulfilling parts of Isaiah 66:7-8.

1948, Israel a nation again of a people coming out of the nations, fulfilling Ezekiel 38, in the latter days, latter years, of Ezekiel 38:8 and Ezekiel 38:16.

1948 + 40 = 1988 - failed
1948 + 70 = 2018 - failed
Those are talking about the parable of the fig tree generation, the 7 year 70th week fulfillment not working out based on 1948.

Differently, 1948 is in regards to the latter years, latter days, of Ezekiel 38. And fulfillment of part of Isaiah 66:7-8.

the 7 year 70th week fulfillment not working out based on 1948.
Exactly my point. Remember the VHS, books, websites, magazines, travelling preachers saying it will work?

Indeed, after it did not work out, new theories emerged. But I think the hype over various futurist predictions is much much lower now. Its not "in" as it was some decades ago. Many people got exhausted.

The closer we get to the 7 year 70th week, the clearer the picture will become.

The major thing being the emergence of the little horn person in the EU.

I knew you didn't want to hear that.

Take Jesus's advice. Store up treasure in heaven, where the thief and the robbers can't get to it, for there shall also your heart be.

Congratulations - you found a way to explain away previous failed predictions and End Times Tables. (That works for you, many would not be convinced.)

What happens if I ask this same question in 2031?

Its not about desiring or not desiring. Most Christians simply do not find the ideas of futurism relevant, anymore.
Then why are you here in the eschatology forum? I think you are speaking more about your personal feeling about things right now. Venting more or less.

You should preface your hypothetical with "if the Lord is willing". As to your hypothetical - it's not going to happen.

Eschatology does not equal to "accepting futurism". Only a minority of Christians are futurists or dispensationalists.

I'm just wondering why you decided the question in the OP gave you the right to make dozens of off-topic posts preaching your version of the end times?

I mean seriously. Every post you made is off topic because it doesn't address the OP.
