When Jesus walked the Earth, those in the Jewish faith were waiting for the Messiah. Christians believe that the Jews missed the whole movement and that Jesus took up the mantle of the new age and passed it along to the Christian faith. That faith would eventually begin about 90+ years after his death. (someone correct me on that timeline please)
Those in the early Christian church believed they were living in the "End Times" and that the four horsemen of the apocalypse were going to unleash the final judgments upon the Earth in their generation.
Each generation after them has believed the same thing. I fact, most Christians today are still waiting for that final judgment to begin nearly two thousand years after the death of Jesus Christ, and are waiting to see that event in their lifetimes.
Any thoughts on that in this forum? Does all the delay distill down to verses like "“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone?" Matthew 24:36. That's pretty vague, as far as predictions go. I'm just wondering if anyone thinks that two thousand years is a long time to wait for the fulfillment of that prediction.
Further, I wonder if anyone in TLW is waiting for the reincarnation of Marilyn or JRS?
