There are a lot of great studies done of end-time events, and it hurts no one to become knowledgeable of the events that will take place. But stay far away from those works that assign dates.
Well, I see his ministry IS located in Oakland, CA. It probably couldn’t come too soon for those overlooking Sodom by the Bay. ;-) Sorry, sorry. I just couldn’t resist. I take issue with his reading of the prophesy that the world will be destroyed. It will be restored. There isn’t a day or Sunday that goes by that we don’t all say, “As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be. World without end. Amen.” I doubt VERY sincerely, after all the history of study of the texts, we’d be wasting our breath on the “Glory Be” if it could be proved that it was all going to be reduced to a lump of coal. Nope, just don’t buy that.
As to time frame — if Abba says don’t go there — don’t go there. If it was good enough for His Son, then I don’t think I can improve on it.
I am no theologian, but isn’t the very act of predicting a specific date forbidden as “divination”? I understand that he’s trying to divine using the puzzle of scripture instead of the entrails of a goat (for example) but the way I read “The Book” it still isn’t how we are supposed to spend our remaining time.
