Hastening the coming? He needs to reread the bible then.
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." - Matthew 24:36
If more Christians would read the bible, there'd be less Christians.
I was brought up Catholic. The Dominican brothers taught me to think critically. Now I'm not a Catholic, or any kind of Christian, anymore.
And for the fractally schismatic fundamentalist Protestants, they stopped adhering to a Christian belief system over a century ago. Very little that they believe has any connection to Christianity, and most of it contradicts core beliefs. For them, it's just a tribal identity. "We're the chosen people and everyone else is wrong."
They think that they can force God's hand. They're that arrogant.
Anyway, the whole fundie end-times narrative is late 19th-century fanfic. It not only contradicts their scriptures, it's also incoherent and badly written. At least Dante, when he made things up, was consistent with the core beliefs, as well as his work being far better-written and more coherent than the source literature. But the Rapture is just the rantings of tent-show shysters. Even bronze-age shepherds did better.
The week, on the other hand, is fair game.
Sounds ridiculous, but apologists will literally say this.
