I’ve never understood these apocalyptic types.

Assuming:

1. God is all-knowing, omnipresent.
2. God has a Plan that is far beyond all human understanding (“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”).

Then it stands to reason that:

1. You don’t know if we’re living in the End Times or not, and you cannot know.
2. God’s Plan cannot be rushed to fit your timetable. Who are you to inject yourself into God’s Plan? (See: Job 38.)
3. God doesn’t need you to “fulfill” his Plan, or predict his schedule, or “make” Armageddon happen soon by “setting all the pieces in place” (when Jesus specifically says even the angels in heaven don’t have that information). He’s omnipotent and omnipresent. You are not.
4. Even if you were instrumental in his Plan, you probably wouldn’t know it (see: point number 1).

These people need to read their own books.
