There’s so much emphases put on trying to figure out when Christ will return.

 

WHY ?

 

After reading revelation i came to the conclusion and realization that it does not matter when He comes back, what does matter is are you ready for Him to return or not.

The people I have known who are always trying to figure out when He will return are so busy looking at when that they are missing the present. Today is the present, the present, that’s right to day is a present a present from God, and most people miss opening it up and enjoying it, or taking advantage of the time to bring others in to the flock of Christ.

 

Jesus said that everyone will see His return He gave us the example of the 12 virgins and the lamp oil

 

Mat 24:35 - Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

 

¶ Matthew 24:36 - 44

But of that day and hour knows no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

But know this, that if the good man 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.

Therefore you also be ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

 

¶ Matthew 24:54 - 51

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming;

And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

¶ Mathew 25:1 - 6

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

 

¶ 25:6 - 11

And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

But the wise answered, saying, Not so (NO); or there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

 

¶ Matthew 25:11 - 12

Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

 

¶ Matthew 25:13

Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

 

 

The thing is be ready, it does not matter when Christ will return, you can spend all you time your life trying to get others to see it your way and you will miss out in the end or you can go about the work the Lord has given you to do (which is to love others in to His kingdom)

Not to drive them away with your miss led righteousness.

 

If you are one of these who are hung up on when Christ will return open your eyes, relies you have a duty to preform and it is not to figure out when He will return but to be ready for His return, and to look forward to His return. Caring for others and loving them in to the kingdom of Christ.
