And this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached through the whole world as a witness to all nations, and then the end shall come." -- Matthew 24:14
To me, IMHO, this occurs during the 7 year tribulation period. A lot of the work is done by the 144000 Jewish evangelists.The end spoken in this verse would be Our Lord Jesus Christ's Second Coming return at Armageddon and the Kingdom would be the millennial one.
I personally do follow the imminent return idea fairly literally. I do try to live in the now. It is kind of easy one day at a time. You get up and say This is the day the Lord has made Let us rejoice and be glad in it! If the rapture happens today that would be cool!
Agreed. That'd be something where I would NOT mind being wrong. Today would be just fine by me.
