I remember when that book came out. A friend of mine stopped making any future commitments or plans due to that book.
The author talked about the prophecy which says the 'generation won't pass away' before Jesus comes. By defining a generation as 40 years, and adding it to 1948, the author came up with 1988. The author failed to see that a generation doesn't PASS AWAY in forty years - more like 70 to 80 years.
Well, we’re quickly coming up on that 70 or 80yr number as it is right now.
