THE LAST DAYS
Those Darn Time Texts!
The statements in the Bible indicating the nearness of "the end" are hard for me to ignore, but most of the prophecy "experts" seem to have no problem.

they would see and experience the end time events

And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
