Watching And Waiting

Q

I found your article Seven major signs of the Second Coming – Thank You very helpful– Be careful however to not set dates- Jesus himself said he did not know. Yes, current events point to His coming soon — I pray that He will !!

A

Saying that all end times prophecies could be fulfilled as early as 2018 but no later than 2037 is hardly date setting. Or did you see something in the text that I missed?

And while the Lord said that we wouldn’t know the day or hour, He also said we should be able to recognize the signs of the times. (Matt. 16:2-3) And Paul said that the coming of the Day of the Lord should not take believers by surprise. (1 Thes. 5:4).

Don’t let a misguided interpretation of the “day or hour” phrase prevent you from knowing all you can about the times in which we live. We are to be watching and waiting, not ignoring the signs of His coming.
