How convenient for them.

Facepalm

There's also within Christianity the "Dispensational" theology. It's very popular but last I checked it's starting to wane. It basically teaches that there's different "ages" or "dispensations" in human history. In these dispensations, God acts differently to mankind for different reasons, thus explaining why in some parts of the Bible, he's a mass murderer, and in other parts, he's Barney the big purple dinosaur. Right now, we're in the dispensation of "Grace." I can't remember what the other's are but there's at least 6 or 7 of them.

What's peculiar about Dispensationalism is if I understood it right, it says that the end of the world could have actually happened in during Jesus' first coming in Israel. Basically, Jesus originally came the first time to Earth to bring his kingdom, but the problem was the Jews, his own people, rejected him, so he couldn't establish the kingdom. Sooooo, he then resorted to Plan B, which was dying on cross to save all mankind, and delayed the coming of the kingdom for 2000 plus years. So those, prophecies in the OT are thought to have been originally talking about his 1st coming, but since the Jews betrayed him, they're now going to be about his 2nd coming. This is what I remember from my brief study of Dispensationalism. I never understood it completely so if someone was/is more better knowing of it than I am feel free to correct.

My ignore list
