In fact, it appears that every age had voices that were raised to proclaim the end was near whenever there were earthquakes and floods... Don't know...just pondering... If Daniel is "obsoleted by the RCC" then we would not be studying his writing any more. Since many of Ellen White's prophecies are still to be fulfilled - I guess she is still on the "not-obsoleted" list. You could delete a lot of the Bible if all you did is stamp each page as "obsoleted" each time you come to a case of fulfilled prophecy. God's prophets not only predict future events (like the NSL and Plagues and I.J and close of probation etc) but they also proclaim doctrinal truth and insights. In Matt 23 Christ said he would send the Jews more prophets - they would reject them and that they then would be guilty of all the innoncent blood shed on earth. Thus the "Bible" gives us a warning against going down the path of rejecting God's future prophets. in Christ, Bob rudywoofs, Bob makes some really good points. I have to agree with them.
