The proof of my confidence in the upcoming events is of a personal revelation, which cannot be understood by those who suffer from misplaced speculation.
So when the time comes I will show people the proof of the existence of the Creator, the God of Israel.
In your forecast of the coming of the day, I hope you will be more accurate than "the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ" who assured the author of Revelation about things that "must shortly come to pass" for which we are still waiting nineteen hundred years later.
It also turns out that the "scoffers" who so irritated the author of 2 Peter were better informed than "the holy prophets" and "the apostles of the Lord and Saviour" when they asked "Where is the promise of his coming?" For he came not. Nor do I think you are any better informed than all these angels and prophets and apostles when you utter the same verbiage as they did two millennia ago.
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ ...
2 Peter 3:2 that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3 knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
