The now-proverbial "Prophetic Clock" continues to tick, perpetually approaching the upright, but never quite getting there. Perhaps we're experiencing some sort of time-dilation. One podcast title I saw the other day (clickbait) went beyond the norm and suggested that it's already "midnight". Some wag will soon re-label our timepiece, "The Pathetic Clock".
Some Christians and theologians think that one of the only sins left to commit is to look forward to the coming of Jesus Christ. If you commit this one you're "sticking your head in the clouds"; you're "too heavenly minded"; you're "ignoring Christ's commission" and you just aren't living as a Christian should live. My first erudite, thoughtful and carefully considered response to such accusations is "Poppycock!" More precisely, it's unbiblical poppycock.
What's literature for if you can't go out on a limb once in a while? A little speculation can be a healthy thing, and predictions are simply tools of preparation for the future.

Here's a collection of rambling thoughts on the subject, guided by over forty years of interest and observation.
