American Boomers are literally trying to force prophecy.

@wgiwf @GrungeQueef This type of stuff is why I hate the left behind books and the overall captivation with end times prophecy in the Dispensationalism sphere of Christianity. You've got all these people with a conjured up image of what the antichrist will be... "even the elect will be deceived" and Jesus saying that only The Father knows when the time is.

@givenup @BowsacNoodle @wgiwf @GrungeQueef “ … at an hour you do not expect.”
I’m quite certain if anyone knows how to fulfil this for every reader, it’s God and only God.

people say "fulfill" like there it's an Indian Jones movie. I'm not picking on you, just pointing this out. It's also part of Kabballah. They believe the Mashiach will only at a time of great peace or great evil, and obviously evil is easier to achieve. But it isn't a door to be unlocked. God has already seen it take place. It will happen on a specific day no matter what we do, you just don't know what that day is.

@Xenophon @KingOfWhiteAmerica @BowsacNoodle @GrungeQueef @wgiwf my pastor once described it like "imagine a guy watching those kids play kickball from hsi car, and he knows who's gonna win, but the kids don't so the kids play it out as if they got a chance to win anyway"

It's a fictional series called Left Behind. Churches ate it up.

I am unaware of a single book that says anything even remotely similar to what Locke is claiming here, and that a large portion of so called Christians believe. Can you point me to it?

@Xenophon @Ash_Kvetchum @BowsacNoodle @GrungeQueef @wgiwf tbh, all it took was super lutheran calling it heresy then explaining why, and i was like "oh that makes sense"

so you're saying that these people are basing their entire concept of the "end times" on a fiction book?

@Xenophon @BowsacNoodle @GrungeQueef @wgiwf As you know it isn’t *really* in the Bible, but is rather cobbled together from parts of the Bible; selected specifically for the purpose of pushing their desired narrative.

@BowsacNoodle @GrungeQueef Add into that boomer narcissism thinking that the world will end with their deaths and you got the retardation you have now. IT could happen tomorrow or 10 thousand years from now. One shouldn't assume you live in some special end times when things have been worse before, Mongol invasion, Black Death, etc.

When I was little, I heard youth pastors say, "Remember in [title in the series] when... " to explain even non-Revelation passages.

I was related to some of these. They acted like those damn things were part of new testament.

@Xenophon @GrungeQueef @KingOfWhiteAmerica @wgiwf End of days being "soon" fits with premillennialism pretty easily if you think The Great Commission has been fulfilled and all people have had their chance to hear about Christ and accept or reject Him. These pastors should be funding campaigns to go hit up the isolated cannibal islands if they really want to fulfill this.
