1 | End of Times ??? | NT general Archive 1 | 3in1 | 119305 | ||

2 | End of Times ??? | NT general Archive 1 | Rowdy | 119306 | ||
I can only quote from Matt 24:6 "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. In contrast we see a very different set of guidance from Jesus as follows: Matt 24:42 "Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. 43 "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 44 "For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will. I'm firmly convinced that Christ's second coming will be a complete surprise to everyone left on the earth at that time. Thus, with so many people expecting to see Him in the near future, I think that's a pretty good indication this is no the time of His choosing or His Father's. There's another reason why I think this way. When we look at the previous times in the world's history when God destroys on a large scale like the world-wide flood and Sodom and Gomorrah, we see a certain pattern. God allowed the world to progress and live on in Noah's age until it was so corrupt that only Noah and his family of seven others were saved. In Sodom and Gomorrah, He was willing to save those cities if Abraham could have only found 10 righteous people. But of course, only Lot, his wife and two daughters were all that avoided the actual destruction of the cities. So what pattern can you deduce out of God's actions in this regard? Well, at this point, I'll let you (and everyone else) think about the infinite amount of patience of our Lord and Father. God bless. --Rowdy |

1 Th 5:4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief; Does this not say that those knowing Christ will not be overtaken as by a thief. Therefore believers will know or realize when His coming is near? SIncerely Henry and Emmy |
