That is what futurism does to us, not God's Word. Something is wrong with a system of interpretation that leaves us thinking the opposite from what the title itself relates.

Perhaps. But, Jesus did say, no man knows the day nor the hour. If the book of Revelation is a revealing, than that is contradictory to this statement of Jesus. And, all the writers of the NT, especially Paul taught the saints to be prepared every day for the return of Jesus. So, they anticipated seeing the resurrection of the dead and return of Jesus even in their time. So, I don't know. I don't place all my eggs in one basket, but rather, I try to live with the understanding that we may not know the day or the hour, but when the time comes to know, it is then we will know.
