A long procession of "end-times" prophets--starting with Jesus--have predicted the immiment end. They were all wrong. When someone gets it right, that person likely will be a scientist with good data, not a prophet.
Lysimachus writes:
Oh really? Last time I read, they were all right. And their prophecies apply more to our day than they did their own. I'm nobody's fool. You simply are reading their prophecies wrong.
By reading prophecies wrong it is presumed you mean literally
Let's pick a prophecy concerning the environment.
Isaiah 19:5-7 writes:
And the waters of the Nile will be dried up, and the river will be parched and dry; and its canal will become foul, and the branches of Egypt's Nile will diminish and dry up, reeds and rushes will rot away. There will be bare places by the Nile, on the brink of the Nile, and all that is sown by the Nile will dry up, be driven away, and be no more.
Did not happen! If you try to frame this environmental doom prophecy in terms of today, I invite you to reread the whole chapter as it clear that the context was for the then contemporary Egypt.
Lysimachus writes:
Well those Christians certainly arn't me.
You stand a lonely watch. However, I congratulate you as it is a logical position. If one believes that God created earth you would think that God would want his subjects to care for his creation, in the same way one would take care of a car borrowed from a friend.
Present-day Christian evangelicals view the earth more like a rental car.
