Oh, and one other thought. In as much as the scriptures say "no man knows the day or the hour..." it should be safe to ignore any other such prediction of the end...that is unless it comes from a woman ;-) <br><br>

</div>William Miller convinced a bunch of followers to give up all their<br>
worldly possessions and join him in a field waiting for Jesus' return in<br>
1843 and then again in 1844. When it didn't happen the second time, he<br>
found the Seventh Day Adventists.<br>
<br>
The Jehovah's Witnesses//went on to predict no less than 8 biblical<br>
events starting in 1914, the latest in 1994. Obviously none of them<br>
came about.<br>
