and if so ... when? What are the signs of His return?
Does it matter when? It could be tomorrow, or 3000 years from now.
I prefer to live the best I can, so that if it happens tomorrow I’m in as good standing before God as I can be. I could be hit by a car tomorrow as well, more or less the same results about keeping myself in good standing with God.
Just my meager opinion.
and if so ... when? What are the signs of His return?
"For you know quite well that the day of the Lord's return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night."--1 Thessalonians 5:2
Yes, He is coming. He said so, the angels in Acts 1 said so, and the scripture says so.
When? Could be any second. Or could be after I’m dead and gone...almost all believers close to God have believed His coming was imminent for 2,000 years.
But the question is not WHEN He is coming - for no one knows.
The question is, as He repeatedly told us - are we ready for His coming? Are we looking for, expecting His coming? Are we even longing for it, crying out as the last words of the Bible, “Come, Lord Jesus!” ??????
Because He told us He is coming when no one is expecting it. No one.
There is nothing here, but a dark, quickly decaying world - that still needs to hear the gospel.
But He is coming for a people who long for, and who are looking for and expecting His coming......
No one knows. You certainly don't know, nor should you be making predictions that it will be soon. We may very well have thousands, even millions of years till that particular event occurs. Some people in every generation think theirs is the last, and they are always wrong.
