I think we all can agree as Jesus said of that day and hour no one knows..., however he prophetically gave signs to show what season we are in. By the way outsiders anytime you point to a website in effect you are not being scripture only (sola scriptura) but are looking at doctrine. Scripture is doctrine and the teaching of scripture can either be true or false doctrine. We are called to test all things 1 thess 5:22 and not to be so quick to write off things that do not agree with our theological belief systems. That is why I tried to show you competing thoughts on end time studies. May God continue to bless you all.
I understand what you're saying. In honesty I only provided those links because you asked me to answer a pretty big question late at night and I thought those links answered sufficiently. However I don't submit myself to a doctrine, or a group of thinking, but rather to Christ. Christians have claimed the world was coming to an end since the first generation of followers to now. The fact is the information given was purposely left vague, besides the amount of pain and suffering there will be. That is all we truly know. May God bless you as well!
