I am so sick of hearing of this portent of doom and that sign of Christ's return!
All the predictors are doing is hurting the cause of Christ. They are making us look stupid, fearful, and medieval.
Christ is a message of hope and joy, not a doom-ology.
Yes He will return, yes He will judge, but we do not, can not know when He will return.
It may be the next moment or the next century or the next millennium.
He Himself tells us no one knows the day or time of His return.
We have "mercury passing close Christ is coming back!"
We had "4 blood moons Christ is coming back"!
We have had some try to put a date to it, even the minutes and hour predicted, yet still Christ has not returned but has given mankind more time to turn to Him.
Matthew 24:42-44KJV
42 ¶Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
So we are told exactly when He will come, at a time we know not, nor expect it.
Stop the sign soothsaying. Stop making us look like idiots. All you are doing when you prophesy these false statements is hurt the cause, give satan room to work, and harden men's hearts.
Christ wants us to look for Him to be here at any moment but live as if He won't be back for a long time.
Use this time to turn men and women to the Good News of Christ, to preach the gospel to all nations, to disciple the young in Christ, and to feed His sheep.
The Good News is the hope of the future! The Gospel is the main reason we are here.
Be thankful He has delayed His coming that more may come to know Him, to escape the lake of fire.
Be thankful we have been allowed time to further His message, His Glory.
Stop the signs, start the message of Hope.
Christ lives, and He wants all men to live eternally with Him in Glory.
2 Peter 3:9KJV
9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
