LOL. Well put.
Actually, imho . . . and experience . . .
folks with a realistic and proper Biblical perspective about THESE BIBLICALLY PREDICTED END TIMES IN OUR ERA are a LOT healthier
than the tidy little boxed anal retentive types who obsess over narrow rigid 'traditionalist tinged' private interpretation constructions on Scriptural themes.
But, we are all human; sinners saved by Grace; flawed; in need of daily confession and repentance.
. . . perhaps except for the purely truly truest true truth believers in HOLLAND. LOL. /sar

You mean like the local people who went out and maxed out their credit cards and bought luxury cars in 1988 because they they would not have to pay for them. They knew Christ would return in September of that year because Edgar Whisenant said so.(88 reasons why the Rapture will be in 1988)
Or those who in 1977 predicted the soon return of Christ,(SOON COMING WORLD SHAKING EVENTS) or Chick Publications that said about twenty years ago that Christ would return "IN your lifetime!"
Or the two page add that perdicted the destruction of Israel in 1984 with the headlines...
OCT 1983-UNIV. EARTHQUQAKE
OCT 1984 APOSTOLIC MILLENIUM.
Too many failures has caused some to start grasping at millenial straws and accepting almost anything put out in the name of religion.
The claim in the 1980's that Russia and China (who have great air sea and land capabilities to fight mechanized warfare) were buying up millions of horses for the invasion of Israel.
or the claim in 1977 that the USSR had developed a new tank armor called "ligno-stone" that was made of compressed wood. This was to be the weapons that Israel would burn for fuel for seven years.
And who can forget APOCOLYPSE 2000,
And now Hagee's book recycling the same stuff from the last 50 years.
