All of these people have affiliations with specific sects of Christianity. Each of those sects has it's onw set of interpretations. There are less than a handful of Christian sects that say we can know when the end of days will arive. None of the men listed are a part of that handful of churches. They are contradicting the stand of their church. If I were still a Lutheran (I was raised Lutheran, as my father was a Lutheran minister), and I were to go on record as a member of the LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, a specific church body) and say that homosexual ministers or women ministers were alright, the church would have to release a public statement that my opinions don't reflect the stance of the church. Baptists, Lutherans, Pentecostals, Episcopals, Methodists, Presbyterians, Seventh Day Adventists, and Apostolics are just a few Christian denominations who do not believe in the predicting of the end of days.
I'm not saying they're right or wrong, but if they are following their faith like good little Christians they'd know that apocolypse predicting is right up there with fortune telling by their own churches admission.
