Some of my friends heard the same thing back in 1988. Where in scripture are we instructed to forecast His return? The souls under the alter cry out, ‘How long O Lord?” The answer is: not until the final persecution takes place. Prepare for testing.
We, the church, aren't although we're to walk as children of the light, discerning the times we live in. Being ready at any time for His return is not the same thing as predicting the day and hour of his return.
The souls under the alter cry out, ‘How long O Lord?” The answer is: not until the final persecution takes place.
Sounds like a forecast to me.
Prepare for testing.
Jesus said although in this world we'll have tribulation, we should be happy because He's overcome the world. But haven't you read what Jesus says to His church, those that "keep His word?" Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev 3:10
