read it for what it really says?...In the early 1700's Isaac Newton wrote that he believed the end of the world (as according to Bible prophecy) would be 2060 AD. He calculated this from the book of Bible passages that says "1260" days..."42 months"..."time, times, half a time". Isaac Newton interpreted that time to be 1260 years starting from 800 AD when Emperor Charlemagne re-established the Holy Roman Empire.
John Darby and Cyrus Scofield has propagated the most popular Dispensationalism (ie. Tim LaHaye novels)beliefs that inclube a rapture before a 7 year tribulation and other non-biblical events. Many other "So-called" amature theologians have bitchered up the Bible throughout the ages. What do you think will be of Darby and Scofields dispensationalism 50-100 years from now? I assume another amature theologian will concoct another wild idea and the world will flock to it. What are your thoughts?

Up until about the 1800s, the standard belief was that Revelation referred to the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD.

People for centuries have speculated...I will put my confidence in what Jesus said, "No man knows the day or hour, only my Father in heaven"
I would like to see it happen on a Monday though, so I wouldn't have to go to work!

It's not really a concern of mine nor should it be for you. Jesus Himself said that no man knows the hour, not even the Son of Man but only the Father. Why try to dig up something that you could never find?

I listen to Jack Van Impy and Hal Lindsey some. I don't go crazy if they are wrong, I like what I learn from them.

The whole "rapture" nonsense is just another example of foolish people believing in something because they want it to be true, (despite all evidence showing that it is not true).

Revelation was written by a crazy monk. None of it is true.
