In Luke 21, Jesus predicts the destruction of the Temple, the scattering of the Jews into all the nations of the world, and the treading down of Jerusalem by the Gentiles UNTIL the "times of the Gentiles" is complete. This indicates that the Times of the Gentiles will complete, and Jerusalem will no longer be trodden down by Gentiles (i.e. return to Jewish control).

The Jews recaptured East (old) Jerusalem during the Six Day war in 1967. The final Generation (70 yrs) until the end started then.

@neuralecho Another way of translating it would be "until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled" -- it does not indicate that the times of the Gentiles are over now because Israel is a nation. It just means that dominion of Jerusalem passed to the Gentiles in 70 AD. It does not mean that the rebirth of Israel in our day is a sign of the end-times.

Call me in 2037 when we will finally be able to lay rest to this nonsense.

@jcr4runner

The Scripture is clear that the Jews will be taken captive by the sword into all the nations of the world, and that Jerusalem would be trodden down by the Gentiles UNTIL the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled. The Diaspora happened in 70AD. The Gentiles (Romans, Muslims, Christians) trod Jerusalem down (the Crusades are a prime example) for almost 1900 yrs, after which it was returned to the Jews during the 6 day war.

Many end time prophecies are in the process of being fulfilled.

@neuralecho By 2037, will this prediction be wrong too?

Jim, please don't write off all televangelists too quickly. I had a Bible college prof who admitted coming to Christ while watching the 700 CLUB. I also worked with a Catholic guy who accepted Christ watching Joyce Meyer. The Holy Spirit can use these foolish things for his purpose and to God's glory. Yes, one hopes that those saved via these hucksters mature and move on from them as they set to studying the Bible for themselves.

@k0smon Actually the Council of Nicea never deal with the question of the canon. They dealt with the Arian heresy. However, they DID quote the scriptures as though they were already canonized.

dude the bible says that we will only know when it is near but NO MAN KNOWS THE TIME. simply put...no man means no man including jesus god almighty son of god.!

Hal Lindsey needs to issue an apology before he dies to all the people he has spooked with his end times nonsense since 1970.

[MrAdvancedAtheist]

After the current batch of the old rapture-hustlers like Harold Camping, Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, John Hagee, etc. have all died, will people finally grow up mentally and realize that Jesus won't come back with a sack full of presents for them?

[MrAdvancedAtheist]

Look at all these OLD preachers who have wasted their lives waiting for the rapture and the end times: Jack Van Impe, Harold Camping, Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, John Hagee, Chuck Missler, Chuck Smith, Jack Chick, etc. Give it up guys. Take your millions of dollars, go find a nice retirement community somewhere and stop scaring the rubes with your doomsday prophecies and ghost stories about a guy who rose from the dead.

[dmcarden]

You are correct in that the constant reference to the Jews being the only signpost for the end times is false in terms of the physical jewish home land. Rather, as you stated, God will make salvation available for all via the term "spiritual israelites or the Israel of God".

I think you Christians really need to get a new hobby, If you had to be rated according to the accuracy of your prophecies you would get a -0-. You have failed miserably in regards to the prophetic and personal responsibility. "Jesus will fix everything" Please at some point when your ready to join the rest of the human race and work for real solutions to real problems feel free to contribute in anyway you can. Thanks

@jcr4runner There is a mountain of evidence to prove all of these predictions and prophecies. The problem is, no one's found the mountain yet.

[billythehelper]

@jcr4runner Even a broken clock is correct twice a day. Someone is bound to get it right sooner or later. But then it will probably be too late to say "I told you so" :)

[Mechanized0]

@jcr4runner It should be noted that many KJV Onlyists (typically Fundamentalist Baptists) are extreme Chiliasts. Ironically however, the head of the KJ Bible translation committee, Lancelot Andrews, referred to Chiliasm as heretical.

What kills me is how pathetic the bible's god is in communicating his will to mankind. Endless controversies with various sects all claiming they "alone" know the proper interpretation of the book. Because of Jesus's incompetence, he has to employ an army of lying, fraudulent apologists to explain away his numerous failures. Oh, if only the apologists would shut up and let their "god" defend himself.
