I've always been a consistent "date setter". If anyone says he's going to come back on a date certain, you can be certain that he will not come back on that date. Jesus said that he comes at a time when ye think not. So if you think so, then I think not.
So when everyone has pretty much given up on the idea that he's going to be coming, then he will come as a thief. Just my $.02. :-)
Interesting.
I think my bias is that The Lord still wants those who earnestly and faithfully truly love Him . . . to be alert, prepared, ready and not caught by surprise all that much.
We shall see.
For now, off to bed.
Thanks all for your comments. . . . till another day.
