Blog Post: https://wakinguptograce.com/061-ten-reasons-futurism-is-destructive/

The destructive nature of futurism and its eschatological interpretations creates harmful consequences ranging from personal anxiety to political deception.

• Futurist prophetic predictions have a 100% failure rate despite being proclaimed throughout church history
• Scripture clearly states false prophets deserve death according to Deuteronomy 18
• End-times teaching creates unnecessary anxiety by telling people to "be ready" for events that already occurred
• The rapture concept misinterprets passages like 1 Thessalonians 4 and Luke 17
• Believing in imminent end times causes poor life decisions and diminishes motivation to address world problems
• Futurism leads to loss of hope when promised relief doesn't materialize
• Christian Zionism has caused support for violence through misunderstanding of biblical Israel
• Political deception occurs when Christians support modern Israel based on misapplied scriptures
• Futurist theology makes light of the apostles' mission which was already accomplished
• Christians are waiting for what they already have – the established kingdom of God
