Perhaps a netter word than ‘culmination’ would help. Do you know what that word means?
“Perhaps a netter word than ‘culmination’ would help.”
Christ taught that His return would come AFTER all these things. Not at the beginning. Not in the middle. At the end.
So He does not say to look up to see His return when we see wars and rumors of wars.
The signs are multiple. It is not one single sign. And it is when these multiple signs “come to pass” as opposed to just getting started.
There are 7 signs of the end of the world given by Christ in His Olivet Discourse. His return is the seventh and final sign. That means this series of events culminates with His return.
The first 6 signs are signs of His coming. These are specific and direct answers to the questions His disciples asked about the sign of His coming and of the end of the world.
