Jack Van Impe has been saying the end is soon for decades based on observing modern events. We have to be careful not to read the newspaper back into prophecy. Every generation of Christians for 2000 years (including Paul) thought the return was near. His return is imminent. It could happen anytime. We should not speculate too much. It certainly is nearer than it was yesterday.

In the Bible, false prophets were put to death. Do you give us permission to execute you if you are wrong?
Jesus said it was not for us or even Him to know just when the return would be so the effort to find out is a vain one. We will not know. There is a legitamate hint though. All the end times prophesys are about Isreal. For years Christians convinced themselves that the prophesys were really about them. Isreal was destroyed. The Jews were scattered. So Chrisendom was the "new" Isreal. But what do we know, now Isreal is a nation again after 2000 years. So maybe we should just trust God to do what He said He would do? It is all about Isreal. The Jews are the chosen people. Now that there is an Isreal the show can begin.

Omega?
How do you know? Maybe God moved it back a day?
Still waiting for an answer, Omega.
Omega's good for comic relief, anyway.
Edgar Whisenant, anyone?

You won't lay a hand on him until after I collect the $500.00 and a kiss on the bare backside that he's gonna owe me on 01/01/2013.In the Bible, false prophets were put to death. Do you give us permission to execute you if you are wrong?
Then parboil him, for all I care.

I understand that psychics and remote viewers can't see any further into the future than that...

Really... It's all about God. He doesn't have to follow any plan made for or by anybody, Christian or Jew. Pegging prophesy to specific, people, places is a very risky business.

Say, OMEGA, if I were to offer you $50 for everything you own, and have legal documents drawn up to the effect that I would not take possesion until 2013, would you do it?

Lots of years. Until J.N. Darby invented pre-mil, pre trib theology in the 19th century. All the main line denominations are amil or post mil. None require practicing Jews in their theology.
Omega, when are you gonna hand over all your worldy goods and find a mountaintop to sit on?
Unless, of course, you're hedging your bets...

I do think the events are leading us quickly to the Lord's return, but I have to agree with Godrulz (and others) that speculating on exact dates is not important and that we should stay busy reaching the lost until He comes!!

No, but I'm willing to share a bit of Maker's Mark with you.
