88 Reasons Why Jesus Will Return in 1988
Book •
Edgar Whisenant's 1980s booklet predicting the Rapture in 1988 compiled a list of purported signs and calculations supporting a specific year for Christ's return, sparking widespread attention and controversy.
The book contributed to a wave of date-setting expectations among some evangelical groups, and its failed prediction led to significant fallout and skepticism.
Critics pointed to its speculative methods and the dangers of date-setting, while supporters initially found urgency in its message.
John Bevere cites the book's aftermath as a reason he avoided preaching on the second coming for decades until re-examining the topic scripturally.
The episode references the book to explain how past failed predictions shaped attitudes toward eschatology.
