2. If one takes the Bible to be literally true and inerrant

then on has to believe the second coming happened in the first century AD as Jesus said it would. The end times were the decline of the Roman Empire and the coming of Attila and subsequent waves of Germanic migrants out of the east.

The decline in the west occurred as Christianity was becoming accepted and thus reflected in the Christian biblical canons of both the Old and New Testament which were generally established by the 5th century. So the New Testament may well have been influenced by the barbarian migrations and chaos in the west.

Note that I am not suggesting the rise of Christianity was a factor in the fall of the Empire.
