My old UPC pastor blasted the 88 in 88. As well as the Y2K issue.
To be fair, the Y2K issue was legitimate to a degree. It just so happens that most of the real (important) code was fixed before the Dec 31, 1999. I was heavily involved with it at the time.
How about TV prophecy preachers who produced shows to be played after the rapture?

Hmm. I wonder. Maybe Jesus is coming back in 2088!

Lots of money was spent to fix the Y2K problem...thank God for knowledge...however the Bible does talk about knowledge increasing...so we should not become relaxed no matter how we believe.
With Corrie Ten Boom I too believe the church will go through tribulation but many of our people do not...it is not something I try to scare our people about...my son believes we are fixing to get out by way of rapture...
I probably will get out but it will be by the way of the grave...ha....
We should not fuss and make enemies and act like we know all the answers...lol...we ALL see through a glass darkly...
I personally have never made any enemies over something that ONLY GOD really knows...I think it is fine to have our opinions, our feelings, our thoughts but when it comes to calling people names we had better be careful for we will be judged according to how we judge...I once preached a sermon called...The unmerciful looking for mercy...
On forums it is so easy to make enemies and I have even made a few mostly by not knowing how to express myself...
Just yesterday we had communion and I had prepared a slide show about the sufferings of our Lord...I wept during the pictures...(my soft heart I guess) anyway HE paid such a price to bring us salvation and freedom...grace and love...
I am grateful for mercy in an age when mercy is often forgotten.

We today are much similar to the apostles in the early church. Also throughout the church history people have used various events and stories to implicate that Jesus is coming.
In the early church the apostles actually believed that Jesus was going to return in their life time.
And they were right. The Spirit inspired them to write that. Not their private intepretation.
But that was not the second coming we look forward to.
Just saying.
Quote:
Second, during the first great persecution by the Roman government around 50-70 AD the church at that time thought they were going through the great tribulation.
They were right. History shows they fled to Pella when they saw Rome surround Jerusalem in obedience to Jesus words to flee to the mountains because great tribulation would occur. Thousands of years distances us from these historical facts, and tend to make us think these things were never fulfilled, when history shows they were. The early church thought that way, and I think they were more on the money about those things than the church in general today, personally.
Anyway, just saying. lol Carry on.

"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
Sister Alvear I have friends who still are the proud owners of huge amounts of dried beans.
I remember overhearing their conversations on the Y2K thing. They relied a huge amount on their current pastors dreams and prophesies. It was a sad thing. We could use though to save extra groceries however for a depression. Economists say it takes about four months to come out of one and actually give advice on how much to store even down to water. Thankfully we have a well.
It is mind boggling though that when you question their theology they get all in a pinch. I found it strange that someone would put a pastors dreams above the Bible. Many do it though.
