Friday Q&A: Predictions and Disappointment

Should we stop trying to predict the timing of the Rapture?

Every Friday, I answer a common question related to the end times. Today’s is about setting dates, and the danger of disappointment when Rapture predictions don’t come true.

Question:

For centuries people have tried to predict the coming of Christ, and they were wrong. I don’t want to be chasing something that won’t happen in my lifetime and then be disappointed. Do you think it is wrong for us to try and predict the Rapture? I know God gives us signs, but I still feel foolish trying to guess the time when so many have been wrong before.
