“That statement makes no sense in light of your beliefs.
Too late for what? Aren’t we in Christ’s Kingdom now? Does He not control everything in it? Isn’t Satan bound in hell? Haven’t we gone through our Judgments?
And—most important—Isn’t there “On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.” ?? (Rev. 22:2)
What do we have to fear? The nations will be healed.”
I’m sorry, but you seem to regard ignorance as a virtue. Christ isn’t coming back to earth. Those who believe in Him are here to proclaim His gospel and make the world a better place to live. We - His church - is that which brings “healing to the nations”, or at least we should be. Unfortunately, most of the church is wrapped up in seeing the world that doesn’t believe in Christ burn in a nuclear Armageddon just so the self-righteous can say, “See? Told ya’ so!”
Our purpose here is to live as though heaven is real, so that we’re not surprised to see what it’s like when we get there. And what is the currency of the kingdom?
Righteousness, PEACE, and joy.
I’m not really sure how you think standing by and watching the world burn in a nuclear holocaust, just because you think Jesus will come and fix it, really represents the best interests of heaven or earth.
So much for the entire book of 2 Peter, then. Any other Scripture you tend to toss out?
Mind reading? Where did I say--or even imply--that?
Yep -full preterism on display at it's finest.

Well then, the quicker the earth burns, the quicker we'll get there...I'm all for it...
Just to remind folks what kind of strawman generator this menace-fish is.
