Actually, there were several prophecies attributed to Jesus that failed to come true. Here are two among many:
Matthew 10:23, Jesus told his disciples that he would return before they could go over all the cities of Israel with the gospel. The gospel has since been preached all throughout Israel, & continues to be so with christian television now, & still Jesus hasn't returned.
Mark 14:62, Jesus told the high priest that he would live to see Jesus' second coming. Of course the high priest died before Jesus returned.

look up a biblical time line. We are out of time.... When you see these things, look up , your redemption draweth near! Maybe he was talking to me, and not you. You decide.
Why do you ignore the word of your god in the old testament for the word of someone your god specifically warned you about, aka Jesus.
It is well known that the old testament warns of false prophets, people claiming to speak the word of god, devils with magical powers to deceive etc…
This anti-christ thing to me is completely bogus. Where this idea comes from is 2 Thessalonians which is most likely a forgery and not by Paul and evidence points to a very late date for its writing. The consensus is basically that Paul was expecting a second coming to happen right away and that explains his urgency in his preaching, that people had to prepare for this world ending event. Once Paul had died, there was a move to kind of explain that away so someone came up with this idea to say there was something or someone standing in the way, to prevent Jesus from returning. So whoever wrote 2 Thessalonians presented a mysterious figure called the man of sin who would be revealed as someone in the temple representing himself as god. It really does not work for me and I take the view of the biblical scholars who don't accept 2 Thessalonians as authentic. I go a step further in that I don't see Paul promoting an imminent world ending event, such as people have today about Apocalypse and all that rubbish that goes with it. I believe Paul firmly believed in a real spirit of Christ which changes our lives to be better people and that we need to be better people in order for the world to be healed. There is nothing in Paul's message about the world having to be destroyed first.
I think we have to wait for the anti-christ to show up in Jerusalem. Every generation thinks it is the end times.
I realize I may seem nit-picky but this is misquoted unless you have some verse in mind I don't know about.

Its impossible to ever understand a fiction book, your ideas are only opinion; just like mine but at least they have some biblical backing as other people in this thread have clearly shown.
lol if i understood the bible eh.... thanks i needed a laugh. Jesus taught love my friend, the devil is the love of materialism... I never said the bible is straight forward... its complicated. As you can tell by the state of christianity
If the devil is the love of materialism, isn’t jesus the materialism of god and 'love'?
The bible is fiction FULL STOP
Biblically speaking my opinion has more legs then yours.
Why do you ignore the word of your god in the old testament for the word of someone your god specifically warned you about, aka Jesus
