I just don’t buy the end of times scriptural analysis. The folks who made a small fortune predicting all sorts of stuff that didn’t happen didn’t help.
It is certainly fortunate for them that the OT treatment of false prophets is no longer used! Of course, the popes that commanded no permanent structures be built in Europe around 980 AD due to Christ’s “imminent return” and final judgement did’nt get taken out and stoned to death, either. They just came up with a new interpretation that said Jesus could’nt return because the heathens were in control of Jerusalem and launched the 1st Crusade! Post millenialism may have been a valid view of eschatology before 1000 AD, but Christ’s 1000 year reign have doubled up at this point...
