So all Biblical prophecy was fulfilled by 70 A.D., and there is no prophetic word for 2000 years? I don’t buy it, and neither do most Bible scholars. Just look at events in the Middle East today, and the great falling away from the faith in the West and you can see prophecy being fulfilled before your eyes. But if you want to believe that this is of no significance, good luck with that.
Grumpa has this right. For those of you who say we are living in the last days now, I would like to show you some facts which Gary DeMar notes in his book “Last Days madness,”
“As the last day of 999 approached, “the old basilica of St. Peter’s at Rome was thronged with a mass of weeping and trembling worshipers awaiting the end of the world,” believing that they were on the eve of the Millennium. Land, homes, and household goods were given to the poor as a final act of contrition to absolve the hopeless from sins of a lifetime. Some Europeans sold their goods before traveling to Palestine to await the Second Coming. This mistaken application of biblical prophecy happened again in 1100, 1200, and 1245. Prophetic speculation continued. “In 1531, Melchior Hofmann announced that the second coming would take place in the year 1533…. Nicholas Cusa held that the world would not last past 1734.”
This has been followed for centuries by Modern day false prophets, such as the following, Hal Lindsey, Grant Jeffries, Edgar C. Whisenant’s 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Is in 1988, etc. The next to fall is John Hagee with his predictions concerning the “Blood Moons.”
Please consider this! These guys have been saying we are about to see the end of the world for over a thousand years!!
