How about God giving everyone an opportunity to come unto Him before the prophesied destructions of the last days...

That opportunity has existed for every human being on the planet since Christ died on the Cross. It's not something new that God needs to come up with.

Anyway, since we are well into the last hours of this Age, and Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled in our day at breakneck speed, and what God told us in Scripture will happen is occurring now, the only hope all of humanity has is to accept the free gift of salvation that Christ's death on the Cross provides.

We can know the end of the story; it will happen as written, there is no way to stop it or alter it, and the only escape is through Jesus Christ.

and Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled in our day at breakneck speed,

Absolutely no one's neck is being broken. Strained perhaps, but only among those compelled by their agent to get another book published to explain to the unwashed masses what allegedly is going on in the middle east.

Besides, this description does not fit at all with what Jesus taught about the Second Coming.

36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. 37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. (Matt. 24)

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. (2 Peter 3:10)

How can this pop prophecy preacher talk about “Biblical prophecy is being fulfilled in our day at breakneck speed” when Jesus denied any such knowledge would be possible?

Notice also that the “day of the Lord” (aka the Second Coming) marks the end of this earth as we know it and the eschatological beginning of the new earth. There is no room in that passage (or any other) for the futurist millennium. When Christ returns He introduces the new heavens and new earth.

Do we believe the Prince of Peace or another futurist bookseller hawking his wares?
