Just name the time.

Only the Father knows the day and hour--- next = Whenever they are saying peace and security--sudden destruction will be upon them( Babylon the great) this triggers the tribulation, then Har-mageddon. Gods kingdom taking control of all creation forever.

THIS IS NOT A HATE THREAD! AND I WILL REPORT IF HARASSMENT AGAINST RELIGIONS
So only you get to bash them saying they feel they are better than everyone else and if anyone says a word, you are gonna report them?

I know a few Jehovah witness and they mostly hang with their own. Sure ,they make time to do their door to door thing. I make it a point to never talk religion with them . Most very religious people ( except for Jews) are always trying to convert you.
I wish people could just do their thing and quit trying to push it on someone else.

I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but Babylon fell to the Persians in 539 BC. There has been no Babylonian empire for 2559 years now. The city of Babylon itself is nothing but a ruin today; nothing but an archaeological dig. And Persians are not Babylonians. Not then, and not now. There are NO Babylonians left, in much the same way that the people who live in modern Mexico city are NOT Aztecs. There simply is NO Babylon to fall to anything. Now, try to work out in your mind how these facts indicate conclusively that whatever the author of Revelation was rambling on about, it has nothing to do with modern times.

Can we assume you are addressing the regular members here? We have members well into their 70s. According to the lifetime expectations, they probably don't have 15 years left. Somebody, please make a note to come back and ask kjw47 what happened when 2030 comes and goes.

If no man knows the day or hour then nothing has been prophesied. Vague predictions that could be true of any age or any political power, with no specifics including dates attached, prophesies exactly nothing.

By 2030 if he's still around he will have simply moved the goalposts. Or actually, as he has it set up, the goalposts move themselves. We could come back on 2030, 2050, 2070, and he'd still be invested in the same open-ended narrative.

For those who don't recall, the year 2000 was widely touted to be the time of the second coming of Jesus. Fundamentalist Christians in the late 1990's were absolutely adamant that the new century would immediately usher in the return of Christ. And of course there was the whole K2,000 global computer crash scare that would send the entire world literally back to the dark ages because all of the power grids were supposed to fail. After New Year's 2,000 passed and nothing special occurred, many of the fundies I talked to were certain that the wheels were in motion and the return would become obvious any day. I use to ask the question, "If we get to 2015 and nothing has changed, can we then safely assume that no end of times return of Jesus is underway?" And the answer was that we would never see the year 2015.

I'm 66 years old now, but my health is excellent and my chances of making it to 2030 are reasonably good. And if I make it, as you say, the goal post will have been rolled back yet again. All I can say to the hard core fundamentalist Christians is to hold on. The end of the world comes to us all, eventually. And for each of us, the afterlife is those collection of events which will occur after we die.
