Some preachers claim that the End is near.
They exhaust us with predictions of blood and fire, the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood. Yet Acts claims all this was already fulfilled at the church's first Pentecost. The forecasters say the rebuilding of Israel as a state is fulfilling the prophecy. But Acts says Israel is being rebuilt in the church with Jews and Gentiles. Throughout Christian history, all predictions of dates and times have proved false.
