This is actually a prophetic statement:
...be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night... 1 Peter 3:2-4,8-10.
Mark 13:32 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Acts 1:7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
There ya go again with the same old tired
UNFITTING, INACCURATE, UNTRUE rationalizations.
THERE HAS *NEVER* been in the last 2,000 years any time even close to this time.
1. After Israel became a nation again in a day as Scripture predicted
2. Using Hebrew after a wider dispersion than any other people group . . . all of whom lost their culture and language—one of the miracles of Israel’s rebirth also predicted in Scripture—the preservation and use of Hebrew in the returned nation.
3. The nations against Israel are lining up exactly as the Bible predicted. Many were not in any power or position to do so earlier. Now all are lined up per their predicted role.
The list could go on—more than a hundred data points fitting only this era.
ALL OF THEM TOGETHER—EVEN 10% OF THEM TOGETHER HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE.
Lay aside the inaccurate untrue rationalized nonsense you seem to so habitually cling to.
The God of the Bible meant what He said. He will fulfill it.
Not a single prophecy of His Word has ever failed. None will.
History shows that not one of them has ever been correct.
