I guess I didn't read him as having absolute knowledge but that his best hunch and perspective on it was that given current trends . . . before the end of the decade is a pretty good guess.

Now if he was claiming prophetic infallibility, he can tell us.

Actually he didn't even really say very specifically and precisely before the end of the decade WHAT--except that everyone would have had plenty of evidence and one way or another have made an eternal decision for all intents and purposes. Maybe he said it stronger than that but that's my interpretation of what he said.

Now that I've put words in your fingers Russell, please tell us what you said or were trying to say--perhaps a little more--what--precisely?

one way or another have made an eternal decision

It is my understanding that when Christ comes in his glory that everyone will have a last chance to make an eternal decision to accept or reject Him. The Jews, for instance, may be able to accept Him as late as that as their Messiah. Like the thief on the cross next to Jesus who made a last minute decision when he was face to face with Christ.

Have I remembered this incorrectly that there will be a last minute face to face chance to accept the Lord and ask for forgiveness?
