Few practices in modern Christianity are as consistently destructive—and as biblically condemned—as preachers who predict dates for God’s actions. Whether it is the return of Christ, the beginning of judgment, a global collapse, or a divinely scheduled turning point, date-setting has resurfaced again and again across generations. Each time, it ends the same way: confident prediction, public anticipation, complete failure, and quiet revision.
Scripture does not treat this lightly. It does not frame failed prophecy as enthusiasm gone too far or spiritual zeal that merely missed the mark. The Bible calls it something far more serious. It calls it false prophecy.
This article is intentionally stern because the subject demands it. Date-setting preachers do real harm. They distort Scripture, undermine trust in God’s Word, and lead people into cycles of fear, disappointment, and confusion. Even worse, they train believers to excuse what God explicitly forbids.
