God hasn't told me the exact date he is coming, perhaps he shared that with you?
I am only going by Jesus proclamation that there will be Earthquakes in divers places.
Do you not believe what he said in the Gospels?

So in what way were the apostles correct? One might surmise that the apostles either didn't understand what "last days" meant, or that they
we don't know what last days means. In fact, it would seem one of those statements would certainly have to be true. Do you agree and if so, who didn't understand...you or the apostles?
You asked if God has told me when the "Coming" will be. Do you think it's possible that God may have told me when the "Coming" will be, and if not, why did you ask?
Yes, Matthew, Mark, and Luke recorded that Jesus said there would be earthquakes in "divers places". Was Jesus truly giving a sign? History records "earthquakes in divers places" since the time he said it, and even before. So do you have any theories on what Jesus truly meant? Was he making a rhetorical statement such as, "When rivers have water, we will be in the last days" as a way of saying we could never know?
And last question. Which do you think is a more appropriate response in the even of an earthquake:
1) Hey folks, these are the last days.
2) People are hurting. Let's all pitch in and help.
