Is the world coming to an end, or did it already happen?

From this belief came the first evidence of the doctrine of Imminence. When the converts of Paul in <A class="mw-redirect" title="Thessalonica" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thessalonica">Thessalonica</A> were persecuted by the <A title="Roman Empire" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire">Roman Empire</A>, they believed the end was upon them (see <A title="Second Epistle to the Thessalonians" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Epistle_to_the_Thessalonians">2 Thessalonians</A> chapter 2). This belief had largely dissipated by around AD 90, when Christians said, "We have heard these things [of the end of the world] even in the days of our fathers, and look, we have grown old and none of them has happened to us".<SUP class="reference" id="cite_ref-3"><A title="" href="#cite_note-3"><SPAN>[</SPAN>4<SPAN>]</SPAN></A></SUP></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=End_time&oldid=261523871">there has been much debate following the publication of <A title="Kenneth Gentry" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Gentry">Kenneth Gentry</A>'s work <I>Before Jerusalem Fell</I>, which book argues from archaeology and ancient texts (including the <A title="Book of Revelation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation">Book of Revelation</A> itself) that the book of Revelation was written during the reign of Roman emperor <A title="Nero" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero">Nero</A> in the 60's AD.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/514D06D5-0A15-4ED6-9C92-89BD429406FC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
