Do you expect the Second Coming in your lifetime?
Few topics within the Christian faith have inspired as much speculation and literature as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ—the day in which he will return, as was promised thousands of year ago. A look at Christian non-fiction over the last few decades suggests that many Christians believe that event will take place within their lifetimes—but then again, Christians in every generation since Christ have hoped for the same thing.
What about you? With the disclaimer that nobody can know for sure, do you expect the Second Coming will take place in your lifetime? Why or why not?
I do expect the return of Christ at any given time, for it is written in Matthew c.24v44, Be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Speak The Word
Believe The Word
Receive of The Word (From God)
The scriptures clearly tell us that no one know when He will return and I do think that it could happen in my lifetime.
I believe that Christians living in Germany in the ’30s might have thought they were in the last days. I also think that people living under Soviet domination, especially during the Stalin era, would have thought they were in the last days. Since the time of Christ, history is replete with Christians being persecuted and living oppressed lives. I think any Christian in any of those times would have thought they were in the last days. When I was a child growing up, at the height of the Cold War, I thought we were all doomed (pre-Christian conversion). Our recent history and the world we live in today would seem to point to a rushing towards the Second Coming. As my Christian walk becomes stronger and more focused I cannot but help thinking we are in the last days – especially the way the world hates Israel. I think we could be in the last days based on prophecy being fulfilled. However, since no one knows the day or time I try to live each day for Christ
Only God knows….but I think it is more important to remember when “we Christians” get together and start dicussing the Second Coming that there are still people “out there” who haven’t yet been told about the FIRST COMING!
Let’s spend our time reaching out to them, eh?
God needs harvesters!
I think Christ will return soon, about the same as Paul did
From the perspective of forever “Soon” looks a lot different!
Meanwhile I want to be more conformed to His image!
yes i do the word of god tells us that jesus will come back the same way he went to heaven and I belive it.
