The Return of Christ |
I believe we will never know the exact day of Christ's return for His
Church. Not
only because the Bible spells it out plainly, but because it's God's nature
to
act independently from man's thinking. If He returned on a date that someone
had
figured out, that person would deprive God of His triumph. When it comes
to His
glory, God doesn't share the spotlight with anyone.
The return of Jesus Christ for His Church will easily be the most important
event
in history. The glory of heaven contrasted with our life on earth is like
comparing the job of running a hot dog stand with the job of President of
the
United States.
Finally, when it comes to knowing the general time frame of Christ's return
for
His church, the word of God is more generous. Jesus forewarned us of a number
of
events that will take place. When we see the predicted events coming together,
we
can conclude that time is short. Most of the prophecies will take place
during
the tribulation. Any forewarning of their arrival would make the rapture
all the
more likely, because it occurs at the start of the 7 year tribulation period
