We are in the season. Christ could come at any time for His church. However setting a firm date makes a mockery of serious believers and opens Christ and the Church for mockery. If you are wrong you have done significant damage to the Church. Best to preach imminence which is correct and leave dates out of it
I disagree. Revelation seems to imply that people have no idea what is happening when everything occurs. That tells me that there is no longer access to the Word.
Even Paul said Christ’s return was imminent so people have been saying this for a very long time. 1 Cor 7
So YHWH puts numbers such as 1290 days, 1260 days, 42 weeks, 7, 62, and 1 “weeks of years” in His Word, but we aren’t supposed to do anything about them? He puts a Great Sign in the Heavens that actually shows up on September 23,2017 and we aren’t supposed to notice? We are supposed wait until He let’s us put our fingers in the nail holes before we believe? What did Jesus say about that? “Oh! You of little faith!”
Just as the Devil raised up all those myths about virgin births, Satan has raised up false prophets to set the date to one not set in the Scriptures. No one I know of is basing this time line on any private revelations. It is all based on fitting ALL of the prophetic verses, all the various Bible codes, and all the current events on Earth and in the Heavens into one consistent picture that we, now, ten days away from the “daily” being taken away.
“Best to preach imminence “ is to say “My belief is not strong enough to actually believe the Word. “. Or maybe “I’m so busy with the things of the World, that I don’t have time to really study His Word.” Imminence worked for 1985 years or so. We now know the timeline for the end times as certainly as we know Jesus is the Son of God who died for our sins.
