Sort of a trick question, really. Until the star Wormwood arrives and bumps our calendar back to the 360 day year that is needed for the rest of the prophecies to mesh properly, it isn’t really time to watch. But the Prince of Wales holds the winning ticket to be the “man of sin” when it all begins.
The problem with the whole thing is so much of it is really just opinion. The Left Behind book series makes me sick, but a LOT of people believe the author’s version of end time events as though it is obvious fact.
It’s why everything I say, regarding end times prophesy, is opinion, and nowhere near as important as things like understanding grace.
—Sort of a trick question, really.—
It’s kind of the way I took it.
I do think that certain things still need to happen before Jesus’ return, but I’m looking anyway, because I’d hate to find out I had it wrong, so I didn’t bother to make sure my lamp had oil since I thought it was too soon. ;-)
