1 | How can Christ return be imminent? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 14620 | ||
Greetings CDBJ! The word "imminent" is never used in Scripture in connection with the return of Christ. The word is used by believers to stress that Christ could return at any moment. However, it may not be the best word to use. In it's favor, there are many Scriptures which stress that we do not know when Christ will return. Against it, there are many Scriptures which refer to things that must occur before Christ can return (though we must be cautious simply because our interpretation may be wrong). Milliard Erickson (a well known theologian) recommends that we speak of the whole complex of events surrounding the second coming of Christ as being 'imminent', but the second coming itself as 'impending'. Great question! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Good answer Tim. I agree that the imminence is may be a bad choice of words, but there really is no good way to say... "You better be ready because Jesus is coming"! O:-) God Bless, Devan |
