Greetings Guys! I have read all of your comments on the subject and I
agree with you on one point, people should not set dates. I have
studied the Bible for the last 40 years and I read specifically that no
man knows the day or the hour. That doesn't change the fact that it
will happen. Having read your posts I know that you don't agree with
what I just said. So, if you must flame me go ahead. I want to speak
the truth. I occasionally listen to the shortwave preachers, and most
are just finding a soap box to stand on to either try to make some
money, or to try to make a case for their brand of doctrine. Most tell
some truth, but do more damage than good. I would rather read from the
Bible for the amount of time it takes to listen to any of the shortwave
preachers as I find most laking a lot of truth. I am ready today no
matter when he comes, and he will.

Have a great week! Jon in South Carolina.


"No man knows the day nor hour, not even the Son, but only the Father".
Not sure if that's exact, but I understand that it's exactly what the
Bible teaches. Preachers who predict the end love to quote that, and
then proceed to give all the signs that "prove" that the end will be a
month from tomorrow. So much for their credibility. The Bible also says
that "the Lord will come as a thief in the night", which to me means
that there will BE no signs, that he'll just show up one day. And that
day could be tomorrow or a hundred years from now, for a thousand years
is as one day to the Lord, according to the Bible. All this is basic
Biblical theology, yet all the preachers on SW and elsewhere who want to
promise the end to their sheep ignore it. Most disturbing to me are the
fundies who want to force God's hand and destroy the earth through human
means so that God will be forced to bring the end and restore the
destroyed earth through divine intervention. The concept that humans can
force the will of God is an exercise in futility, I doubt that God is
influenced by a bunch of puny mortals, but the fundies really believe in
it. We'll end up with a ruined earth and no second coming in sight if
the fundies get their way, and then what will they do? What will WE do?
