Summary

This quote highlights the negative consequences of making reckless predictions about the second coming of Christ. Such predictions often lead to an artificial excitement among believers, which is eventually followed by disappointment and a sense of depression when the predicted event does not occur. Moreover, these predictions can reinforce scepticism in non-believers, as they view them as evidence of baseless claims within the Christian faith. It also gives cynics an opportunity to mock the faith, using these failed predictions as ammunition. Therefore, the quote warns against the potential harm caused by making reckless and unfounded predictions about biblical events.

The question is, how abstract can you get and still get the audience to feel something when they don't know what's happening to them?
