Question: How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken? (Deut. 18:21, ESV)

Answer: …if the word does not come to pass or come true (v. 22)

• Jack Van Impe

Christ coming in “one minute!”

Thus says the Lord God, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! (Ezek. 13:3, ESV)

• Billy & Franklin
Graham

Billy Graham: Preparing believers for “life in the last days.”

Franklin Graham: Second coming could be delayed by “a hundred or even a thousand years.”

Does Franklin know something his father doesn’t? Or are they both deluded?

• Kay Arthur

“Jesus is coming soon.”

Christ’s return “imminent” since 2002.

• Crystal Lewis

Christ’s return “so soon” since 1996.

…they were singing a new song before the throne… (Rev. 14:3, ESV)

Lewis definitely needs a new song!

• John Hagee

“Jesus did not come to earth to be the Messiah.”

Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? (1 John 2:22a, ESV)

• John MacArthur

MacArthur admits Matt. 16:28 is a “Prophecy of the Second Coming.” Then he says it isn’t.

• Benedict XVI

“The end of the world is not nigh.”

Benedict gets it right for the wrong reason.

• Keith Mathison

Prominent postmillennialist clearly implies Paul could not have been a postmillennialist:

“As far as Paul knew, Christ could have returned in his lifetime.”

Huh? What happened to the millennium?

• Joseph Farah

Christ’s return “imminent” since 2004.

Only when his predictions come true can we know that he is really from the Lord. (Jer. 28:9b, NLT)

• David Wilkerson

“AN EARTH-SHATTERING CALAMITY IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.”

If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake. (Gen. 18:26, ESV); For the sake of ten I will not destroy it. (v. 32)

• John D. Morris

Morris thinks Christ doesn’t begin reigning until a future second coming. So what’s Jesus been doing for the last 1,900+ years?

• David R. Reagan

Reagan has John measuring a temple that didn’t exist in the first century and still doesn’t today.

• Joseph Tkach, Jr.

Tkach says, “We are living in the last days! — and we have been for almost 2,000 years.”

• Michael Morrison

Morrison says, “Jesus preached a soon-coming kingdom.”

Morrison is right, but…

GCI Spinoffs and Clones

• Greg Albrecht

Albrecht clearly implies Paul was not being led by the Holy Spirit when he predicted a first-century return of Christ. Albrecht calls this the “Plain Truth.”

• Bruce Marchiano

“All the facts seemed to fit; except one: Jesus didn’t return.”

Actor predicts future return of Christ; rejects the testimony of Jesus, his “holy apostles,” Scripture and the historical record. More “Plain Truth!”

• Ronald Weinland

Tribulation: 2008
Second Coming: 2011

Herbert Armstrong clone admits, “if someone says something and it doesn’t come to pass, they’re false. That’s what is referred to as a false prophet.”

Weinland neglects to mention that he is a false prophet.

• David C. Pack

The beast of Revelation is “just ahead.”

Armstrong said the same thing over 70 years ago!

We bear no ill will toward any of the above. We pray regularly for their eyes to be opened and encourage you to do the same.
