For me, if I ask for an unpopular opinion and you say something about pineapple on pizza I’m going to assume you have no personality.

    Yeah, hasn’t it been a few centuries of this guy coming “relatively soon”. At that point I have to ask, relative to what? Human civilisation or the motion of entropy?

      Biblically there was 2000 years between Jesus and Abraham, and another 2000 years between Abraham and Adam. Two thousand years after Jesus’ crucifixion is coming up within a handful of years. That’s six Biblical “days”, and God rested on the 7th day. There’s more to the timing people look to based on old prophecy but a lot of things line up for the next maybe fifty years. I’m no expert, but a lot of Christians believe this.

        A lot of Christians believe a lot of things, most of it silly and untrue.

        Your calculations are based on something that has already been thought of way back in the 1800s. And these guys are still waiting around for the second coming and the end times, despite every prediction they made never coming true.
