Answer 1

In reply to JJ et. al. about JWs and SDAs predictions about armageddon, they are right in one aspect. They are not predicting armageddon, but the second coming of Christ. In all predictions they were wrong (or were they right and the rest of the world ended and we are all living a dream)

Here are others who have predicted the second coming of Christ.

Pastor William Miller and the Millerite Movement expected the second coming on October 22, 1844. The fact that this failed to happen was later referred to as the Great Disappointment. Millerites then predicted a date of October 22, 1845, which was later moved ahead to 1851. Some of his followers went on to create the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Jehovah's Witnesses.

The interpretation of the Second Coming is important in the doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses, as these hold that it occurred in 1914, and instead of an apocalyptic Second Coming it is to be interpreted as an unseen presence, and the visible events of the final times will occur at a later date (originally predicted for 1915, then moved to 1918, and then 1975).

Emanuel Swedenborg and those in the New Church believe Jesus has already made his second advent through the ideas revealed in Swedenborg's theological works. They believe that the Last Judgement was completed in the spiritual world on June 19, 1770 [7]

The followers of Reverend Sun Myung Moon consider Rev. Moon to be the Lord of the Second Advent called by Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday at the age of 16 on a Korean Mountainside.

Renowned psychic Edgar Cayce predicted that the Second Coming of Christ would be in 1998. Though 1998 has already passed, many of Cayce's followers maintain that Christ was simply conceived in 1998 and thus would only be seven or eight years old presently.

Rudolf Steiner described the physical incarnation of Christ as a unique event, but predicted that Christ would reappear in the etheric, or lowest spiritual, plane beginning in the 1930s. This would manifest in various ways: as a new spiritual approach to community life and between individuals; in more and more individuals discovering fully conscious access to the etheric plane (clairvoyance); and in Christ's appearance to groups of seekers gathered together.

Nostradamus predicted that "from the sky will come a great King of Terror" in 1999. This was interpreted by some as a prophecy about the second coming of Jesus. When this "didn't occur", his followers and those of Edgar Cayce claimed that Jesus was conceived in 1998, born in 1999, and is currently living on Earth as a reincarnated person.

Followers of the Bahá'í Faith believe that the second coming of Jesus, as well as the prophecies of the 5th Buddha and many other religious prophecies of a second coming, were fulfilled in Bahá'u'lláh. They commonly compare Bahá'u'lláh's fulfillment of Christian prophecies to Jesus' fulfillment of Jewish prophecies, where in both cases people were expecting the literal fulfillment of apocalyptic statements.

The Rastafari movement believes Haile Selassie is the second coming (although he himself did not encourage this belief). He both embodied this when he became Emperor of Ethiopia, but is also expected to return a second time to initiate the apocalyptic day of judgement. Haile Selassie, also called Jah rastafari, is considered to be still alive by some rastafarians.

Fundamentalist preacher Jerry Falwell predicted in 1999 that the Second Coming would probably be within 10 years.

"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths" (2 Tim. 4:3–4).

Answer 2

Despite the lying slander of anti-Witness agitators, Jehovah's Witnesses have humbly taught that they are *NOT* infallible and *NOT* inspired by God; that's more than 125 years of such clear denials.

Jehovah's Witnesses apply the term "prophet" only in a very limited sense to themselves as a religion, not to individuals. The Scriptures indicate that whenever Jehovah purposes to execute judgment upon a people, he always makes arrangment for a 'prophet's work' as a warning. Their self-description as a "prophet" (in this limited sense) does not indicate special inspired knowledge or foreknowledge, but their willingness to perform Christ's assigned warning work.

What group is working harder than Jehovah's Witnesses to preach God's message globally?

(Amos 3:7) For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.

(2 Peter 2:5) Noah, a preacher of righteousness...

(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

Anyone who predicts Armaggeddon using that sort of calculation fails to understand the real meaning of such an event. The Biblical event is intended as a warning for all people, there's no such thing as a specific date planned by God to end the very thing God created.
If we look at Revelations as being mythological then we can read into the texts as typical apocryphal warnings that reflect the very destructive nature of the human being. Particularly if we stop caring about our neighbour and the world we live in.

Answer 4

Anyone, who even gives this an actual try is wasting their time. Scripture says that Jesus will come as a thief in the night, which means nobody knows. I can tell definetly that school is out for the summer. Kid, you should do some chores around the house instead of wasting your braincells with this.OR better yet, actually read the Bible. It will help you

Answer 5

Jehovah witness are so notorious in predicting dates of the end but always end up erroneously. They are so attached with the end of the world that they out-predicting what had been said by Christ himself that only God knows the exact date the world would end. Sorry to say this but its a fatalistic religion.

Answer 6

no woman does either...all of this fire and brimstone crap is getting boring. I think theists need to dream up another event.
Oh and to those who think we arent learned on the JW story....yours is one of the worst...

JW leadership claims its victims by asserting itself to be the sole Christian religion and authority on the earth today, as well as God's mouthpiece or prophet. The Watchtower further disrupts families through its harsh and unbiblical interpretation of "disfellowshipping" and the practice of "shunning." Family members who are former JWs are labeled by Watchtower adherents as "apostates" and prevented from even social contact. Disfellowshipped or disassociated children, parents, and grandparents are kept from any type of communication with active members of the organization. Divorces are common within the sect when one member becomes disillusioned with Watchtower teaching and mind-control.

ANYONE whop belongs to this are in serious need of pyschological re-assessment.

Answer 7

Jehovah's Witnesses do NOT predict or attempt to predict dates for "Armageddon" or other events. Read up, study and learn before you go off being a smart-a$$.

Answer 8

Sorry, I have no idea what you are saying. But as the bible says, no man knows the time or day.
