There is always a loop hole. And I doubt you'll ever have as convincing an arguement as that person in 80 or 90 AD reading the scriptures.

I said exactly what Asaris said.
Show me where it actually said "within a typical human lifespan of 70 years" in those quotes two posts up?
He doesn't. So, taken with whatever salt you pinch if you take every single word in the bible literally, one can use the John the beloved loophole to say that it could happen anytime. Were you to even use a 'human life' as a measure of time, who's life sets the rule? Methuselah? Peter? Judas?
Saying that I or he or she thinks that that time is soon is not being presumptuous or putting yourself above God. He even says himself, that you may expect it soon after the fulfillment of those signs.
However, we'd typically only see that they were after the event.
