Never Predict The Return
- Predictions of the rapture are always wrong because Scripture teaches Christ will return at an unexpected hour.
- Treat end-times texts as calls to faithful living, not timetables to be guessed.
Respond With Compassion Not Mockery

- Love and support those harmed by failed predictions instead of mocking them.
Distinct Events, Shared Call To Readiness

- The proper takeaway is readiness and perseverance, not date-setting.
