Has it not occurred to you "Bible Students" thateven Christ himself got it wrong about his "second coming":
" Verily I say unto you that there are those among you who will not have tasted death before the Son of Man appears in glory in the sky with his Angels."
there is at least one other similar prediction in John`s Gospel where the disciples are discussing the future of "the disciple that jesus loved"--James?
Jesus may have been in deadly earnest but He [?GOD] was manifestly wrong.
His story is by no means rendered less beautiful because it is seen to be a delusion but sadly-very sadly in my case as I wanted to believe, he is not likely to have any more influence in the answering of prayer than any other spirit cast up on the shore that awaits us all.
