It is arrogant to say “we’re living in the end times”, how is that not arrogant? You can’t possibly know what John saw. You say that prophecy has been definitively fulfilled, but you cannot possibly know that. May be close, even look identical to someone from your point of view but are those events without a doubt what Revelation spoke of? Possibly, but John could have been referring to a completely different event.

So, Revelation is world events? Then if we are living in the end times, then billions should have died recently, I wouldn’t be able to buy food without some proof I am part of the “in crowd”, and there would be one man controlling the entire world. But I still hear we are living in the end times. That is inherently arrogant. The end times to me means “seven-year Tribulation”. Otherwise, you are just saying it’s coming. Well the end has been coming for thousands of years. Religious leaders in all of those years have warned that prophecies have been met, that the end is near. But here we are, tick tick ticking along.

You keep parroting the same thing over and over...”it’s arrogant, of course it’s arrogant.” Sorry, that’s nonsensical.

Your posts seem determined to try and discredit Biblical prophecy by painting it as meaningless & subjective. Again, Christians don’t need to be afraid of the end times.

When someone says it’s raining outside, do you tell them it’s arrogant to believe such a thing? Why, it could be snowing...or maybe the sun is shining, right? There’s no way on earth a person can KNOW it’s raining because that’s only one POV!

If you can’t be sure of anything the Bible says, if you read it and dismiss it out of hand, what’s the use of having it? Might as well toss it.

You refuse to address the fact that Jesus, in Scripture, instructed us to know the signs of the end times so that we could be prepared. How could He expect us to do that if the texts are meaningless, if there’s no way to know what they are saying? THINK.

Not going to repeat myself further; there’s no point in going around this circle with you.
