But Christians have seen this before—from 88 Reasons Why the Rapture Will Be in 1988 to Y2K, Harold Camping and countless predictions circulating across YouTube and social media today. When the dates pass, some simply recalculate and start over. In today’s episode, the panel examines the long history of date setting, why Christians are continually drawn to it, the damage failed predictions can cause, and the danger of turning Bible prophecy into sensational clickbait.
