Martin of Tours, Bishop of Tours (France), ca. 316-397<strong> </strong>2. Thomas Muntzer, 1520, German Anabaptist<strong> </strong>3. Clarence Larkin, American dispensationalist, 1918 4. Ronald Reagan, American president influenced by dispensationalism, 1971 5. Hal Lindsey, American dispensationalist, 1980 One colorful figure was the 2nd century A.D. false prophet-heretic <em>Montanus</em>. He predicted that the millennium was at hand around 170 A.D. and that Christ and the heavenly Jerusalem will descend from heaven in his hometown in Phrygia (present-day Turkey). Christ will then reign for a thousand years from Phrygia! All of these were revealed directly to him in dreams and visions by the "Holy Spirit." A Pentecostal, dispensationalist turkey, indeed!

I'll step out on a limb and guess none of them are as late as 1900. Like I said, there have been "roof sitters" from day one - not Genesis day one but Anno Domini.

You came close in Clinton and LaHaye. One of the others is as outrageous as B.H. I don't know if Kelly C. has a song about Armagedon, and neither does Brad P. have a movie about Antichrist.

They will say, 'Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.'"</em> (2 Pet. 3:3-4). Evangelicals scoff at the scoffers, but they themselves are the biggest contributors to the scoffing with their continuing failed prophecies.
