2 Thessalonians 2:2-6?

"Those days" prophesied by "all the prophets" haven't come yet. Unless of course you spiritualize every promise in the OT, steal them from Israel and give them to the church like the Papcy has for the last 1,500 years. Then I guess those days would have come.

I don't think Peter could have been clearer:
....
Act 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, [that] every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Peter is addressing Israel - Jews - in the temple of God. Of course he means the days they are living in. He didn't say "the prophecies will come about in the days of some future generation." He said:
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Real, living people, who were children of the prophets, and of the covenant.

Jesus comes by his Holy Spirit to every believer - beginning with the Jews Peter was addressing - for their, for our, blessing. It is dispensational fantasy to even suggest Peter is actually addressing a future generation of Jews 2,000+ years away.

You do not really believe the plain words of the Bible. take off you dispensational blinders & read the Bible seeking a SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING.

Cr 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
