What is your proof concerning the Speculative fabrication concerning the end times?

- Jesus returning in 1988 based on speculation about the modern state of Israel.
- The ongoing speculative redefinition of the phrase "this generation" as used in Matthew 24.
- The "Common Market" as the speculative "10 nation confederacy" of the so-called "revived Roman empire".
- Speculation about the person of "antichrist". Is he a Jew, a Muslim, a Westerner, or Henry Kissinger? Is he alive now living in Europe, the middle east? Is "he" actually a "she"?
- Speculation about red heifers, Aaron's genes, and pre-fab temples.
- Speculation of the other "major players" in "soon approaching" events. This seems to change every time the UN puts out a new list of member states. (E.g., The Soviet Union, Libya, Saddam Hussein and the rise of "Babylon".)
- The "sounds like" theology that turns biblical Gog and Magog into modern places with modern names.
- Speculation on the "mark of the beast" being everything from VISA cards to tatoos to chip implants. (Check out the 666 Calculator found here)
- Uncritical Christian Zionist support for the modern state of Israel based on speculation about the place of Israel in prophecy.
- All twelve volumes of the Left Behind series.

The scenarios that gets one from point A to point B in all these cases are clearly fabricated.

I could go on, but I think you get the point.
