Subject: Can we say Christs return is imminent? |
Bible Note: Hello Hoppy, Thanks for your information. From your explanation, before Christ returns there is great apostasy and the man of sin must be revealed and reign (2 Thess. 2:1-6) and with all that he must do by the power of Satan (not yet bound) until the first resurrection Rev. 20:4,6. After his release then he gatheres his army for armagadden Rev. 20:7,8. Yours sincerely M.Royal |
