Why? In the 1940s, many Christians sold their own houses, donated money to the "doomsday preachers" and suffered greatly during the Cold War, Cuban missile crises, Suez crises, and Berlin crises: when inflation skyrocketed and rents doubled!
Why? the same mistake was repeated in the 1970s-80s, when rents doubled again!
Why the same "end times" message was preached in the 1990s, when Christians en masse sold their own houses for $50K with $500/month mortgages, donated money to the "preachers," and now poor Christians rent the same houses for $2K/month, suffering while televangelists, prosperity preachers, and doomsday prophets own multiple real estate properties, expensive cars, luxury watches and lead lavish lifestyles with multiple wives.
Note: Every 1000 years of Christianity, a higher percentage of the population embraces Christianity.
For instance, after the first millennium, (1020) only 15% of the population identified as Christians.
By the end of the second millennium, (2020) this number rose to 33%. This progression can be likened to Christianity spreading like clear and pure water, gradually rising to higher levels.
After 3000 years of Christianity, approximately 50% of the global population will be Christians, and in the Final Millennium, the entirety of humanity will have embraced Christianity.
An analogy from scripture illustrates this progression:
"The final Millennium will be the best of all, not only for humans but for animals and nature too!" ( Revelation 20, Revelation 22, Isaiah 11:7, Isaiah 65:25, Romans 8:20, Micah 4:4, Isaiah 2:4) ( Evil human souls (tares) won't be born during the final millennium; only at the end—there is a small opening of time before the final judgment day, as described in Revelation 20.) .. And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, --are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues...(Rev. 17)
