Hello Makarios, I agree, He has risen and He is coming and we are definitely living in the end times! We have been since the time of His resurrection. My point was not arguing that fact, but rather that although we all know that Christ will come again and that He is coming, our time line is different than that of the Lords. All of the scriptures you posted there are wonderful reading and do tell us that He is coming, how He is coming and what it will be like when He does arrive. I cannot wait for His Glorious Reappearing! People tend to get caught up in the fact that Christ is coming again and they seem to always think that it is RIGHT NOW. I am not one who pretends to know when that time is, for in fact I don't. None of us do. Christ will come and when He comes it will be with a host to destroy all evil that lives (physically and spiritually) upon this earth. Oh, what a day that will be! As with all Christians, I too would love to be a part of His Glorious Reappearing and to be involved in the war against Satan, his angels, and his minions. We cannot forget though that we must also live and abide by the laws of God until that day. So, no matter when He does reappear, we must continue living our lives through Christ and to be living it as though He would. We cannot get caught up in hoping that TODAY is THE DAY so much that we forget to LIVE in Christ. So, if that day comes while I am still alive in Christ or if it happens after I have died in Christ, it really doesn’t matter because no matter what… I am with Christ. Peace be with you. Dan |

So far, everyone is correct. :o) One thing I ask you to remember... This has been a question asked every century since Jesus Christ was resurrected. Everyone seems to think the "NOW" will be "THIS" generation. I give you the following to consider in that respect. I was actually reading 2 Thessalonians today, this early afternoon and then came upon this question... I hope this helps. These are the words written by Paul with Silas and Timothy as well, to the church of Thessalonians. 2 THE 2:1-4 - "Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by some prophecy, report or letter supposed to have come from us, saying that the day of the Lord has already come. Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God." In this verse we see "...for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed..." Unfortunately, we are still waiting for the "man of lawlessness" to be revealed. 2 THE 2:7-10: "For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing." This still holds true even after a couple of thousand centuries. The secret power of lawlessness is still at work. It is, even now, stronger than ever. We are still waiting to see the counterfeit miracles, signs of wonders and all of the other evil that will accompany that time. Remember that only the Lord knows when this day will be, when he will remove the restrictions placed on Satan and the day that our Savior will come again. It doesn’t matter if he comes tomorrow or even still if it is a thousand more years away. If we follow what Paul said in 2 THE 3:2-5: “And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance.” then we will be just fine. May the Lord bless you all and may you do all in His name. God Bless. Dan |
