Michael Brown began his June 5 WorldNetDaily column by citing a litany of failed predictions about the Second Coming. He then suggested that a Second Coming may be relatively soon after all:
Date-setting is not just dangerous business. It is also a great distraction.
It’s possible Jesus will not return for another 100 years, or even longer. Until that time – be it in the very near or distant future – we have work to do for Him. And that must be our focus.
That’s also why, when people have said to me over the years, “But things are different now,” I tell them, “I’ve heard that many times before.”
Yet, to be totally candid – and without setting dates – it’s clear that things aredifferent today, more than at any other time in my life (and I’m 71 now).
From a technological point of view, the rise of AI has given rise to some very plausible doom-and-gloom predictions. And even if the worst of these predictions prove to be completely overblown, it seems clear that the lives of countless millions of people could change dramatically in the next few years.
Some real upheaval could be at hand.
But that’s not my main focus here.
Instead, I want to point to something unprecedented in my lifetime, namely, the rapid, insidious rise of a virulent and violent anti-Semitism right here in America, let alone around the world.
Yet Brown was weirdly slow to denounce anti-Semitism that came from his fellow right-wingers like Candace Owens. Still, he went on to rant:
You might say, “So what does this have to do with the return of Jesus?”
Perhaps nothing, although it is urgent that we wake up and push back against this ideological cancer.
Brown did not explain his reluctance to criticize right-wing anti-Semitism.
