“But about that day or hour no one knows,
not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,
but only the Father.” Matthew 24:36
Anybody who sets a date for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ
may be crossing the line of blasphemy.
The Bible teaches very clearly and very plainly and our Lord taught
that no one knows the time — no one.
Just before our Lord was taken up into glory the disciples asked Him,
“Lord, wilt Thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons,
which the Father hath put in His own power” (Acts 1:6-7).
No one knows the day when Jesus Christ is coming again,
but what a glorious day that will be!
Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about
those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind,
who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive,
who are left until the coming of the Lord,
will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command,
with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God,
and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that,
we who are still alive and are left will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.
What encouragement do you need to share with someone?
