For every Christian who lived before us, “Christ is coming soon” was realized immediately after death. We may die before he comes again and a thousand generations after us could die before he comes again.
So, it is better to live a life of joy and contentment, rather than one of apprehension that some great tribulation may swallow you up or that you will be saved from it at the last minute.
The excitement of the mature Christian is that death is conquered, salvation is secure, and that you will one day stand face to face with your Savior, even though you will probably have to die first.
