Oops! You were supposed to be the second generation...

Quite clearly lots of folks picked the wrong year...But it's interesting to read why they came to those conclusions...At least they did not say that Jesus has come already...

Of course we know that no one knows the day nor the hour of Jesus' return...BUT, we are supposed to know the 'times' and the season...

But just think, if He doesn't come back for another 1000 years or so, what will it be like??? If we have world wide nuclear war, there won't be much to come back to...The earth could actually be thrown out of it's orbit and we'd all be dead anyway...

Some scientists say that by 2050, the rate of the population will grow exponentially to the point that there won't be enough room (or food) on the earth for everyone...

Jesus needs to come back NOW, while He's got something to come back to...

Are you talking about the likes of Hal Lindsey and Chuck Smith?

Jesus needs to come back NOW, while He's got something to come back to... Sez who?

Are you going top let pagan science and scientists dictate you view of the future? Such pessimistic notions are almost always wrong. Man is incredibly adaptable. God has made him that way.

The fact is there are no conditions on the earth that require God’s immediate, apocalyptic intervention. Chicken Little’s sky has been falling for numerous generations of Christians who wish to be dazzled by current events.

Some scientists are idiots and push a political agenda. The truth is there is enough oil, coal and natural gas to energize the planet for thousands of years.

If every man, woman and child on the face of the earth stood shoulder to shoulder, the entire population would fit inside the confines of Jacksonville, Florida. (Save the jokes about this being an uncomfortable way to live; it's merely a fascinating illustration that there's more than enough square footage on God's earth.)

There is plenty of room and resources.

And the earth's population is leveling off...

WORLD POPULATION TO LEVEL OFF

"The United Nations' latest forecast of the world's population in 2050 is half a billion people lower than the U.N. estimated just two years ago, a result of women having fewer children and the worldwide toll of AIDS, a report says.

U.N. estimates for 2050 are down from 9.4 billion to 8.9 billion. The population is expected to stabilize at 9 billion by 2300. The long-range report marks the first time the U.N. has issued projections for years as distant as 2300, 150 years further out than earlier estimates..."

Have faith. The sky is not falling, and God is in control.
