Uhhhhh, hello?

Not knowing the day or hour is

DIFFERENT

from knowing the year, season, era!!!!

I really do not understand the difficulty folks seem to have with basic concepts like

SAME, SIMILAR VS DIFFERENT, DISSIMILAR!

1. ISRAEL NEVER became a nation again in a day as BIBLICALLY PREDICTED

AFTER the 70 AD dispersion

UNTIL

drum roll . . . .

1948! Never. Not once.

2. In the 1800's and early 1900's Bible scholars pontificated about how the Biblical predictions about the king of the north; Gog; Magog; the King of the East etc. could not possibly come true unless and until some dramatic changes occurred. Then we saw the Soviet Union arise. China has arisen. India has arisen. The -stans have broken off and could easily join with China and/or India against Israel.

3. Given the nation of Israel again . . . JERUSALEM is a heavy weight around the neck of the whole world as Biblically predicted. Never has it been close being such as it is on that score today until our era.

4. There are dozens upon dozens of specifics in our era that never occurred before at all and certainly never occurred before in concert.

5. 3-4 SIMILAR things to Biblical prophecies about the End Times might have been construed as in a key direction in past eras. But most of the time, that was stretching things even then. The degree of MANY SPECIFICS lining up with Biblical prophecies literally to the letter has never occurred before in all history and certainly not after the AD 70 dispersion.

An era can last thousands of years. That's a pretty wide target to hit.

Really! I though there was nothing new under the sun. Are you sure you're a literalist?

You site nothing in scripture, just theories based on faulty exegesis of scripture.

Hey quix. Did you ever notice that Tim LaHaye draws as much bile from Freepers as Hillary? These people all profess to be Christians, yet their hatred of a man they know little or nothing about (other than that he has sold a lot of books) is simply amazing. I don't know Tim LaHaye, but I've read some of his prophecy books and he seems like a pretty smart guy to me.

FWIW Kirk Cameron didn't hesitate at all to play the leading character in the Movie version of the books. I think that Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort have a fantastic ministry teaching people how to lead people to christ through the word of God. I'm sure if these "Christians" discovered that Kirk Cameron made money doing the Left Behind movies that they would hate him as much as they hate LaHaye.

There is sure a lot of hatred going on here. I suspect that LaHaye would be gracious enough to believe that those who do not believe like he does are sincere in their beliefs. Too bad it is not a two way street.

Love your enemies... unless they disagree with your eschatology.
