Matthew 24:
32Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

Exactly. It's "black magic" trying to predict. lol

Unless you are a prophet, apparently. A good portion of the Bible is prophecy, after all.
I like the Mathew quote. I'm partial to the parables where trees and plants are used allegorically. But did anyone else notice that the line below means the events spoken of have either passed within a generation of their prediction or failed to happen at all? There have been a lot of generations since 150 A.D.
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."
I'm just sayin'...

Yeah but what I meant was modern day people who try to predict WHEN the end of the world is going to be. Heck yeah the Biblical prophets could predict things in the future, but that was because God gave them that special ability. Jesus IS God, so obviously He could predict anything in the future, because He knows everything, past present and future. But like He said about the end of the world, "You know not the day, nor the hour." Which goes back to what I said before, and when He said that, He meant that no human person knows through their own power when that will be.

The only way they got things "right" was by "guessing" 1000's of years earlier than anyone else. I have a few predictions for the future, but that's my secret.

I think it's funny to hold to the line in the parable that you like and totally ignore this one.
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled."
It seems faith and critical thinking do not play well. People seem to take what they like and pretend the rest doesn't exist.
I'm just sayin'...
