Who Said That?
"Last Day and return of Christ sometime on or between: September 14, 1994: Beginning of 1994 Jubilee Year, and September 27, 1994: Last Day of the Feast of Tabernacles."
OK, this is an easy one. Leave your guesses in the comments section below. Please no google searches. You must guess!

Well, nearly thirteen years have gone by, and he's still dead wrong. These words come from Harold Camping's 1994 (531). Its bad enough when the dispensationalists set dates. It is that much worse when a professing Reformed Christian does it!

Pat Robertson maybe?
Anyone recall "88 Reasons why Jesus will return in 1988"?
I was 25 years old, pretty green, sitting in church on a Sunday night when the pastor held up the book telling us about it and then shockingly announced, "I have ten copies down here you can get one at the close of the service..."
He was actually endorsing it!
Like I said, I was green, all I knew was Jesus had said "No one knows the day or hour". I knew nothing else about eschatology... only that I never could figure out the Dispensational time frames... it was all so frustrating, the only thing I literally held on to was the that one quote from Jesus. I still recall looking at my wife, her turning to me, and we were both surprised.
Let's just say God used that event to show me another reason why I was in the wrong circles... It was a slow process, but my eyes were to be opened to several other items the next couple of years...
I think the author's name was Edgar Whisenant [unsure of spelling].
Camping?
I knew nothing of the man until this occurred. He struck me as a man who possessed a
"God told me... he told know one else" mentality.
What arrogance; a parallel there with Joseph Smith you know?
i always chuckle when i hear folks say this. i know the feeling all too well! it's like getting a "triptic" from an evil AAA agent who doesn't want you to get where you are going...now, what happens when and to whom and why again?!

Speaking of which, I can't wait until these frigid Wisconsin temperatures give way to much warmer days, so that once again I can go ... camping!
What is it about "No one knows the day or hour of My return" (-Jesus) that some folks JUST DON'T GET???
The gall of such people isn't their only problem. One wonders about their intelligence!
We do know Christ is returning soon and that's enough for me.
Every time I hear of a date being set, I think of that seen in Fiddler on the Roof;
Motel: [on being evicted] Rabbi, we've been waiting all our lives for the Messiah. Wouldn't now be a good time for Him to come?
Rabbi: We'll have to wait for him someplace else. Meanwhile, let's start packing.
Even though Tim would offer the standard disclaimer about no one really knowing the day or hour of Christ's return, he would then (in the same book/chapter/article) go on to point out all the reasons why Christ's return would happen very soon ... such as in the year 2000.
Amazing.
