Whoever placed Jerry Falwell and Ed Dobson in the table of past predictions for the Second Coming of Christ, ought to remove those entries, or at least edit them to make them accurate. I knew Jerry Falwell (now deceased), and I know Ed Dobson, and they should in no way be grouped together with others such as William Miller, Joseph Smith, Herbert Armstrong, or Harold Camping. Even the references cited, and their explicit titles, reveal that these men were not making absolute claims, or even anything close to that. To say that the second coming "would probably be within 10 years" is not a prediction or a claim, and the title of the citation alone makes that clear: "Antichrist May Be Alive." Does the editor who added this not know the difference between "may be" and the much more dogmatic and declarative "Antichrist is alive"?

Likewise, with the entry about Ed Dobson, the title "Why Jesus Could Return by A.D. 2000" is much different than "Why Jesus Will Return by A.D. 2000." I am offended, and consider these entries into this table of predictions, to be slander. I challenge the editor who placed them here to give one single statement from either of these individuals, in context, that would show them to be clearly establishing and claiming the return of Christ on a specific date, or in a specific range of dates. That editor will search in vain, because both of these men proclaimed clearly what the Bible itself claims, namely, that "of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father" (Mark 13:32).
