Bible Note: 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 |
