These failed predictions, no matter how reputable their sources may have been, attests to the infallibility of God’s word. Jesus made it absolutely clear that no one knows the day or the hour when He will return, not even the holy angels before God’s throne. But make no mistake, God has set a date for the end of all things which is not revealed to man and will not be revealed. So there is no point trying to set dates and hours of Christ return.
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is” (Mk 13:32-33 NKJV)
While the day or the hour is not revealed to man, God in His mercies has not left us without a clue as to when the end would be. When the disciples asked Jesus “When will these things be?

    Many movies and books has mentioned above has spinned themes around this doctrine.

  • The Role Of Christianity In The Fire Next Time By James Baldwin

    For centuries, Christianity has been used by white supremacists as a tool of oppression against people of color. More recently, Christianity has been used to justify the subjugation of black people through their enslavement and later segregation. Despite this, the black community has often been attracted to Christianity, “the religion of their oppressors,” for numerous reasons, including the hope for liberation (Brown Douglas xii). Black people raised in the Christian tradition have also rejected the religion in recognition of its unjust qualities. The challenge facing black Christians and those who deny white supremacy is whether to have faith in the liberating and positive aspects of Christianity, or to doubt the religious institution in light of its history of oppression.
