All in His time, and all according to His perfect will.

I make no attempt to discern when or where that fateful hour will strike. How dare I attempt to elevate myself to such a height? How presumptuous of us to think that we can "predict" such things!

Less of me, more of Him always brings about comfort. Fretting over time-lines of "end-times" prophesy just raises anxiety.

Always reminds me of those people at work who stress out and work extra hard "when the boss is coming - look busy!" Me, I keep doing what I've been doing.

Yes, because the truth is the fateful hour for each of us is unknown.

But you also have the "dreams and visions" crowd who allegedly gets their information from secret revelations that God is supposedly giving to a select few in these "end times". In many ways they are worse off than the traditionalist date setters because they are relying on "voices" in their head.

There's really no good way to respond to their silliness other than to point out 1) their "prophecies" are so non-specific that they amount to nothing, or 2) point out the many failed predictions of the past, some from the same "dreams and visions" crowd.

Exactly what temporal powers labor to accomplish.
