Bible Question (short): Can we say Christs return is imminent? |
Question (full): Knowing that there are two events that are preventing the return of Christ and our gathering to him. as clearly stated in (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4,8-110,and in conjuntion with what Jesus said in Matthew 24:29-31. that his return is after the tribulation. As there are only 2 ressurections regarding end time events and the first is after the antichrist has done what he will to those who do not serve him, Revelation 13;1-9,11-18. How can we say Christs return is imminent without these event taking place? M.Royal |
