>>>Exactly- the patriarch seems not to know the bible very well- We have at the very least 1007 more years, likely many more years- but definitely that many left->>>
Well, we agree about the Patriarch and disagree about how much time is left. I’d say less then 5 years. The gospel is reaching the entire world and the man of sin is being revealed. And that system sits in Rome. 5 years or less and we are finally going home! :)
This world will have many billions during the millennium, the 1000 year reign of christ. Also, there has to be a 7 year “peace treaty” with Israel which the antichrist will break ad year 3 1/2. The wo4ld isn’t going g to be destroyed or the people wiped out until, after these things happen, so at minimum, we have 1007 more years left.
There may be regional populations that get devastated by wars, but the majority of people will still be alive for many more years to come (the Bible talks about plagues and such which wipe out large portion of folks during the tribulation, but there will still be a large number of people left after the tribulation, and during the millennial reign of christ
