  • According to scripture, no one will know when anyway, so I think it'd be useless to try, but many denominations try anyway. The Jehova's Witnesses predictee 1878, and were quite adamant for a while, but then after nothing happened in 1878, they revised the date, and revised it again. 1914, 1925, 1975, among several other dates. These were based on a lot of asssumptions about when the world started, patterns in prophecies, patterns in major religious dates, etc. But the fact is that no one really knows the exact dates of things like the great flood or the creation or whatever. Even things we know well, like Jesus' birth and the start and end of the Babylonian exile are give-or-take a few years.
