Futurists - comforting each other with their "assertions" I think they are actually "voting" Santiago - it is interesting to note that Futurists throughout the ages have one thing in common !!! They all predicted Christ would return in their lifetime. They were all proven FALSE PROPHETS.. What a scar on the face of Christianity for the world to plainly see - utter foolishness. WHAT A WITNESS. Serving Christ with lies... I wonder if when these guys are on their death beds if they will then "rethink" what they have so foolishly upheld!

Just because no man knows the day or the hour doesn't mean it won't happen when God wills it. Isa 63: Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson? Who is this, robed in splendor, striding forward in the greatness of his strength? "It is I, speaking in righteousness, mighty to save." 2Pet 3: The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.[1] 11Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[2] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. 14So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 17Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. 18But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Thanks James, but I read all the "goobbldygook" I can stand -- elsewhere. :-) I know that you know (but for others who may not) I've read enough, studied enough, talked to the Lord enough, and listened to others enough, that I'm happy with the interpretations I've settled on. I don't swear on the life of my grandchildren that I'm right on all things, but I am "betting" MY life that the Lord loves me (don't know why), He died for me, He rose from the dead (which proves to me that He can) and He will return for me some day. Until He does, I enjoy "visiting" with friends and hearing their thoughts -- but ALWAYS, my prayer is for others to hear and come to believe the things I've mentioned above, and to pray -- discuss with others -- and study, but NOT WORRY about some of the other "less" important facts. (I say less important because the IMPORTANT thing is -- John 3:16)
