Top seven errors by which our generation is deceived
There are no secret interpretational skills needed to see what prophecy is predicting or promising. A bit of common sense and some deductive reasoning is all that is needed to understand prophecy.
Since one quarter of the Bible has to do with prophecy, we need only split all that it says into two categories.
The first category consists of things Christ judges, destroys, or removes at his second coming. These things show exactly which behaviors are incorrect, sinful and ultimately destructive.

Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Aw c’mon, what did post #2 have in it to be deleted? I’m always late to the party.
The book of Zephaniah (only 3 chapters) lays it out pretty well, also regarding what Christ will do when he returns and who will survive.
“Interstellar Space Travel
We are prisoners of hope to the fantastical idea of jaunting around the universe and finding life and other civilizations. But it is a false hope in that God has decided to keep us on the only planet he ever assigned to us. No prophecy, sees men residing on other planets before the millennial kingdom and none appear after it in the prophetic promises of God. All our lives will be confined to earth until Christ has ruled from Jerusalem for one thousand years and the redeemed are lifted to a new heaven and a new earth. We are then told that there will be no need for the sun, the moon and by implication – no stars. Revelation 21:23,24”
My father, when he was a young believer, thought God would not allow man to travel outside of the earth in a spaceship.
He thought such a goal was like that of the men who built the Tower of Babel to “reach unto heaven”.
But he accepted he was wrong when we first put men on the moon.
We also had a significant portion of Christendom that objected to the idea of the earth orbiting the sun because the Bible says “the earth cannot be moved”. But maybe our interpretation of passages like this reflects our limited understanding.
The final days on the earth as it exists today may be short. We may never colonize Mars or travel to other stars. But I wouldn’t try to base this view on any plain teaching of the Bible.
