13 years ago…was according to you imminent? I guess I am a scoffer, but someone here is a false teacher!
MY RESPONSE:
@ThirdHeavenTraveler
@Tired-and-waiting and scoffing. Pathetic... Grammar lesson for you: Your homework assignment :
I wrote HAS RUN OUT... I was using the Present Perfect Tense. Your work is to study the full meaning in English Grammar of PRESENT PERFECT TENSE and in the context of the video tell me exactly what I'm saying.
Here is both a blog to help you clean up your ignorance and a video if you're an audio learner. I will be using your comment as a CASE STUDY. please do not delete your comment. Thank you.

@Thi@ThirdHeavenTravelerI am not deleting my comment, false teacher. I guess you should change your title instead of trying some feeble explanations conflated with personal attacks. Lame. Very lame of you. Have you noticed that most ppl in comments are laughing at you? Instead of coming up with excuses, go and check the meaning of the word “imminent”. That should clear it for you. Once you understand it, go and correct your errors.
MY RESPONSE:
@Tired-and-waiting •
What is most terrifying is you are blind and deaf in accordance with Isaiah 6 and Matthew 13 and your heart is hardened as it is written in Luke 8:13 KJV. You don't even realize that when I had that terrifying vision back in 2013, the Holy Ghost literally told me that what I saw in my vision was that exact moment the young man running had just realized that TIME HAD RUN OUT at that moment in time. I was compelled under the most powerful unction from the Lord to say and write and WARN exactly what you see in the title and you are SCOFFING. Your soul is in serious peril. REPENT!

I am saving and posting your last comment for a CASE STUDY to teach the extraordinary level of ignorance in our dumbed down society in these last days... I will then be blocking you, removing you from my channel as we do not suffer FOOLS - REPROBATES that spew vile demonic sayings to pollute the air. REPENT!
Tired-and-waiting, your repeated scoffing exposes not only grammatical and lexical illiteracy but a willful rejection of both the English language and the clear testimony of Scripture. Your demand to “check the meaning of the word ‘imminent’” while ignoring the present perfect tense that frames the entire statement is the very definition of the mocker described in 2 Peter 3:3 KJV: “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts.” You have now become the living case study of that verse, and the present perfect tense itself mocks you.Deep Etymological Study of “Imminent”The word imminent entered English in the early 1500s (earliest OED evidence 1528) as a borrowing from Latin imminēns, the present participle of imminēre. Imminēre = in- (“upon, toward, into”) + -minēre (“to project, jut out, overhang”).
The root -minēre is cognate with Latin mons (“mountain”) and the PIE root men- (“to project”).
Thus the core image is something that overhangs, leans over, or projects threateningly toward the subject—ready to fall or occur at any moment. Etymonline and the OED confirm the semantic development: “impending, about to occur,” especially (though not exclusively) of something unpleasant or dangerous. Classical and early modern usage emphasizes nearness and overhanging threat, not a calendar deadline of “must happen within X years or it was never imminent.”Oxford English Dictionary senses (the entry notes five meanings, three obsolete) center on: About to happen; impending; ready to take place.
(Obsolete) Overhanging or projecting.
Modern dictionaries (Oxford Advanced Learner’s, Merriam-Webster, Collins) uniformly define it as “likely to happen very soon” or “ready to take place; hanging threateningly over one’s head.” Nowhere does any authoritative lexicon require that an “imminent” event must materialize inside a humanly fixed window of years. The word describes proximity and potential immediacy, not a stopwatch that expires if the event delays.Epistemological and Contextual Study
Epistemologically, the meaning of a word is established by historical usage, morphological structure, and consistent application across contexts—not by a scoffer’s private demand that “imminent” must equal “happened by 2026 or the speaker is a false teacher.” Knowledge of the word is public and fixed in the linguistic record.
You cannot redefine it to fit your mockery any more than you can redefine “has run out.”In the specific context of the 2013 video and the blog “The Present Perfect Tense MOCKS the Mockers,” the phrase is “TIME HAS RUN OUT.” That is present perfect tense: has + past participle. Present perfect (standard English grammar) expresses: An action completed at an unspecified time before now,
With continuing relevance or result in the present.
It does not mean “the event already occurred and is finished forever.” It means the decisive threshold has been crossed and the consequences remain operative now.
Examples: “The deadline has passed” (the window is closed, the consequences are current); “The season has ended” (the state of being post-season continues). Applied here: the appointed period of delay has reached its limit; the stage is set; the event (the catching away) stands ready.
The ongoing relevance is that it can occur at any moment from the present forward. This is precisely the biblical doctrine of imminency: no prophetic event must intervene; the Lord can come for His own at any instant. The present perfect is the perfect grammatical vehicle for that urgency. Noah was told the flood was coming 120 years earlier; when the time “had run out,” the door still stood open until the rain began. The prophets spoke of the Messiah for centuries; the event remained imminent until the fullness of time. Your demand that “imminent” in 2013 required fulfillment by a date of your choosing is pure eisegesis of the dictionary and pure rebellion against the text.Scripture: Sober, Vigilant, and the Crown of Righteousness1 Peter 5:8 KJV:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” You are not sober. You are intoxicated with the spirit of the age that measures God’s timetable by human calendars and then mocks when the Lord delays according to His own purpose (2 Peter 3:8–9). You are not vigilant; you are asleep to the very signs and the very language that warn of the nearness of the Day. The roaring lion uses scoffers exactly like you to devour the faith of the simple by turning “any moment” into “already failed.”2 Timothy 4:8 KJV:
“Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
The crown is reserved for those who love His appearing—who long for it, watch for it, and live in the present-perfect reality that the time has already run out and the next tick of the clock may be the shout.
Scoffers do not love His appearing; they mock it. They walk after their own lusts and demand proof on their terms. The righteous Judge will give the crown to the watchful; the mockers will receive the consequence of their own words.
Your comments are preserved as the textbook illustration of last-days ignorance: lexical, grammatical, and spiritual. The present perfect tense continues to mock you. Time has run out. The event remains imminent—overhanging, ready, any moment. Be sober. Be vigilant.
Repent! The Lord rebukes the scoffer.
