Pentecostal Prophecies Delay Christ's Return
So, there once came a missionary to the UPC church I go to who in the heat of his sermon walked to the window pulled the blinds and said, in effect, "I see bulldozers! God is gonna grow this church! A mighty revival starts here!" He was undoubtedly referring to the new building this church is saving for.
What puzzles me is how we teach that Jesus could return at any moment, and yet hold fast to prophecies like this one that are "no doubt" from God. How could Jesus return at any moment if God is planning on giving this church a new building? It seems like Jesus' any-moment return is put on hold until this prophecy is fulfilled.
So, Christ wont return until we at least see bulldozers in the lot, right?
Think about any prophecy you've heard and compare it to the idea that Christ return is soon. Anybody else wonder about the trustworthiness of these kinds of prophecies?
