Many many Chariot wheels found at bottom of Red sea.

Actually no. This was a very early Egyptian chariot wheel. But you might notice a slight difference from the one that I posted earlier. Perhaps they "plump up" in water:D
How do you ride that thing? Kneel?

Well it's still very easy to see it is nothing like the bronze ships valve wheel in the picture.

Jesus' prophecies about the kingdom of God appearing imminently, within the lifetimes of his disciples was failed prophecy! As time went on past his death, those who wrote the late gospels start pushing his return farther and farther out, until we get to the point where they have Jesus saying that his kingdom is not of this earth. This is how Christian writers adapted to Jesus' failed prophecies: pushing his return farther and farther out, pas the death of the disciples, past the Jewish revolt against Rome, past the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem, until Jesus' kingdom was no longer a physical kingdom.

The Gospels were written around or after the deaths of the disciples. Assuming there were disciples.

That has been the prediction for about 2,000 years. The End was supposed to start while at least some of the original disciples were still alive. I have not seen any 2,000 year old Jews lately.

That sounds like a misinterpretation of what Jesus said.
Have you ever thought how odd it is for gospels that are claimed to have been written after the generation of Jesus day has died, to be saying that Jesus will return before they all die. Maybe the gospels were written by people who wanted to discredit Jesus.

It is easy enough to show that Jesus did not mean that He would return in the lifetime of the people He was talking to,,,,,,,,,,, or at least that it does not have to mean that.
