To me, Futurism denies the Deity of Christ and calls the Almighty a liar. Let me explain.

In Matthew 24:34, Jesus told the people that “ALL” things would be fulfilled within “this” generation. They have tried to tell us that the word “Generation” really means “Race”, but their argument is very weak. The time that the generation clock started was around 30ad, not 1900 years later. The “ALL” mentioned in Matthew 24 and 25 means “ALL”. Futurists are still waiting for this to happen literally. Futurists teach that Jesus was trying to set up His physical Kingdom, but the Jews killed before He could do this. They also belief that the disciples were wrong when they taught Jesus’ return was imminent. So in essence what they are saying is that Jesus and the disciples were all liars.

According to Matthew 5:17-18, heaven and earth had to disappear before the law (OC) would be removed. A text can’t more plain and simple that this text. Futurists believe that this has not happened literally. If this is the case, we should be living under the Law of Moses. According to them, there are prophecies waiting to be fulfilled in the OT as well as the NT. Hal Lindsey stated on the TBN network that when Jesus comes, we will go back to some kind of animal sacrifice. He is teaching something that totally goes against scripture. I think he needs to read Hebrews 10. I guess, Mr. Lindsey doesn’t think that Jesus’ blood worked very well.

Futurists make predictions all the time. Every time that something happens, they are on the airwaves saying that Jesus’ return is near.

Hal Lindsey in 1977 told everyone that Jesus would return in 1988. In 1955, even Billy Graham told people the same thing. Jack Van Impe told us that Jesus would return in the year of 2000. He told us of all the chaos that would happen on January 1, 2000 at midnight. Did you see any chaos when Y2K came? If Futurists like to take scripture so literally, why don’t they take Deuteronomy 18:22 literally?

(ASV) when a prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah hath not spoken: the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shalt not be afraid of him.

(KJV+) When834 a prophet5030 speaketh1696 in the name8034 of the LORD,3068 if the thing1697 follow1961 not,3808 nor3808 come to pass,935 that1931 is the thing1697 which834 the LORD3068 hath not3808 spoken,1696 but the prophet5030 hath spoken1696 it presumptuously:2087 thou shalt not3808 be afraid1481 of4480 him.

(LITV) When a prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah, if the thing does not happen or come about, that is the thing which Jehovah has not spoken; that prophet has spoken it proudly; you shall not be afraid of him.

(MKJV) When a prophet speaks in the name of Jehovah, if the thing does not follow nor come to pass, that is the thing which Jehovah has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.

(YLT) that which the prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing is not, and cometh not--it is the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; --thou art not afraid of him.

And Deuteronomy 13:1-5

(ASV) If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he give thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams: for Jehovah your God proveth you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he hath spoken rebellion against Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

(CEV) Someday a prophet may come along who is able to perform miracles or tell what will happen in the future. Then the prophet may say, "Let's start worshiping some new gods--some gods that we know nothing about." You must be completely faithful to the LORD. Worship and obey only the LORD and do this with fear and trembling because he rescued you from slavery in Egypt. If a prophet tells you to disobey the LORD your God and to stop worshiping him, then that prophet is evil and must be put to death.
