Peter Ruckman's failed prediction of the Rapture on May 14, 1989 has been well documented. But how many know that after that date, he was still issuing definite predictions that Christ would return by 2000? (Which he believed would put the Rapture 7 years prior to that date).
Here is what Ruckman said in an article entitled "Ring Out the Old," in the Bible Believers' Bulletin Vol. 14, No 2, February, 1990, p. 2: "We now enter the last tenth of the last century of the world's history before the Second Advent of Jesus Christ. If the calendar is right (and that qualifying clause always has to be included when guessing), the year 2000 is the limit for the Advent. Some subtract 4 years for a birth of 4 BC, but as one of my students pointed out to me, a 4 BC birth in September would be only a three and three months birth BC by our January to January calendar. This would give an Advent date of 1997 instead of 1996 (which subtracted 4), and it would put a maximum date for the rapture in 1990 instead of 1989. . . . Anyone knows the 7th millennium has to be a 'Sabbath' of rest."
Sorry, but I cannot "submit" to the teaching of a false prophet like Peter Ruckman. To do so would be to violate the command of Deuteronomy 18:20-22 (KJV): "But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."
