In this lesson

A war breaks out, an earthquake hits, a new leader rises, and someone says it again: these are the last days. Preachers draw charts, books name a year, and the headlines are read as clues. Jesus did speak about the end of the age. The question is whether he ever gave anyone a date, or told anyone to look for one.

You may have grown up hearing that the end was near, and you may still feel a jolt when the news turns dark. Let's set the predictions beside his own words and see what he told his friends to do with the future. You don't need anyone's permission to follow him, inside a church or outside one, and you don't need a calendar of the end to do it.

Measured against the center

A contradiction
Setting dates for his return, and reading the news as a countdown, contradicts the plainest thing he said about the end: no one knows the day or the hour.
