People have been studying magic book since magic book was written and have been confidently declaring their own generation to be the last, that the end is nigh. They've been wrong. I don't blame them, as we've determined, magic book says many things. Perhaps you should have all taken a breath, and waited for the return of your king, before declaring any specific time to be the end time?
Why do you think people have been getting it wrong? Is magic book wrong? Is magic book unclear? Have it's readers, including yourself, failed to properly leverage magic book?
Studying the "magic book" does indeed tell us we are in the last days. If you study the Greek, you'll find that one of the signs of the lasts days is "nation rising against nation" and "kingdom against kingdom." The only time the world has been at war in such a manner is WWI and WWII. So from that time on, the last days have been in operation. It's anyone's guess as to how long this period will last.
You can't have the return of Christ until there is a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem and a range of other factors. The fact that people have missed this and misinterpreted Scripture doesn't make the Scripture wrong.

A failed prediction is one that doesn't happen by the time it was specified to happen.
It doesn't make half a shit's worth of a difference what anyone builds in Jerusalem, nor who kills who in that city - your utterly useless and nonexistent god will never, ever intervene. Fuckheads like you need to be put away for the violence which you stir up, as you are a certain doomsday threat to the human species.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
