I agree completely... notwithstanding for a a lot more convenient reason.... The bible says we are able to not comprehend the day nor the hour and that it will come like a thief in the nighttime. SO, if the "good e book" says we are able to not comprehend... then i trust we are able to not comprehend. each and every time the end comes.. it is going to probable be on an afternoon, no human being suspects... an afternoon no more effective important then the different day. perchance 2PM on some idle Tuesday. Secondly, as a Christian (Catholic) what does it count number? are not we as Christians think to be continuously prepared for the 2d coming, Christ's go back? are not all of us think to be following God and in communion with him..therefore what does it count number if the perfect day is on the instantaneous, day after today, or 30 years from now? Thirdly, as a Catholic Christian, i'm critically skeptical of ANY new interpretations or analysis of scripture which looked as if it would elude the first 2,000 years of Christianity. truly one's which actually the author stumbled on and are not supported via the mainstream. IF this training replaced into truly meant for us to draw close... how, why did it pass left out via all previous generations? Why did not the Apostles without delay practice in this? Why replaced into it embedded for decrease than Harold tenting to locate? Does this glorify God or Harold tenting? Does the fellow offering this training have some thing to achieve from it? (conversing engagements, books, web pages, interior sight ministry, and so on. ??) ultimately, the type of predictions with regard to the end circumstances that were incorrect, so a ways, is one hundred%. so a ways, there has no longer been a unmarried actual prediction, therefore the probabilities of any of those being actual is narrow.. statistically. His prediction looks decision very equivalent to a Jehovah Witness prediction with regard to the "very last technology" which has been envisioned and shown incorrect a minimum of two circumstances, if no more effective. in my opinion - As a Christian -- A) what does it count number? B) what makes us imagine THIS guy is ideal, verses everybody else, all previous generations, and the Apostles themselves? C) what's the statistical probability that he's actual given previous "end of days" predictions?

No, but I'm an atheist so I don't believe in the Rapture and the Christian version of the end of the world.
I do know that some people think the world is going to end every time a new century comes upon us, and then most recently when a new century and a new millenia were upon us.
The world hasn't ended yet, and won't on a human's schedule. I just ignore the doomsayers.

The Scriptures reads at Matthew 24:36-42; Mark 13:32, 33:
“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father. For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be. Keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming [Greek: er´khe·tai].”
For those who think this world or "system" (not the entire earth) will be done away with, please consider why does God allow so much time to pass before destroying the wicked?
2 Pet. 3:9: “Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.”
Mark 13:10: “In all the nations the good news has to be preached first.”
Matt. 25:31, 32, 46: “When the Son of man [Jesus Christ] arrives in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And these [who fail to recognize Christ’s spiritual brothers as representatives of the King himself] will depart into everlasting cutting-off, but the righteous ones into everlasting life.”
Also consider the Bible warning regarding such thinking, for those who thinks it will never happen and that the world will continue as it is:
2Pet.3:3-5 reads: "For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.” "For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice, that there were heavens from of old and an earth standing compactly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and by those [means] the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water."

Nope, I am a Christian who study's the Bible and as such by studying I knew that that date held no meaning as Bible prophecy was concerned.
Because:
Mat 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not.
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mat 24:36 ¶ But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

No, we must see the appearance of the anti-christ; before we predict our own doom. Even then; we still will never know the exact time but we can watch certain signs or omens in the world.

Of course not, but I did play the lottery. I thought I was going to win seeing as how I have 666 in my social security number and on my license plate. I guess it's all stupid superstition.

I think it will end much much sooner than that! Right now, some religious fanatics are enriching uranium in Iran... I'm scared now! We need to put a stop to them. Until they get religion out of their lives, we are all at risk!
