The bible says...
"Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. " -- Matthew 16:28
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. " -- Luke 21:32-33
"But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." -- 1 Peter 4:7
These words, written 1,900+ yrs ago, were meant to warn the first Christians for the immediate end of the world. Some words are supposedly out of the mouth of Jesus. The world did not end. All that generation passed away without any of the things foretold coming to pass. No amount of prayer brought it about; nor ever so much patience and belief and sober living. The world went on, as usual, indifferent to the spoutings of another batch of doomsday prophets with visions of messiahs dancing in their deluded brains. Go figure.
