So, maybe the ongoing, active plans to establish a one-world government will continue for another 500 years, and maybe the technology which now exists to number every person on earth will be put on hold for 500 years, and maybe the alliances which are being cemented among the players listed in the Ezekiel 39 and 39 prophecy, who will attempt to invade Israel, will be put on hold for another 500 years, and maybe the ongoing, already-announced plans to rebuild the Jewish Temple, which, as we're told in Scripture will be in existence during the seven-year Tribulation, will continue for another 500 years, and maybe the decedents of the Old Testament Levite priests who have been located in Israel and who are, as we speak, being trained to carry out the rituals and sacrifices for that soon-to-be-rebuilt Third Temple will be training for the next 500 years, and on and on and on.
Somehow, something tells me that all of these signs which are happening in our time tell us that Christ's return is very near.
I don't think we're going to have to wait long at all- much less 500 years. And my vision hasn't waivered at all, but has come into much sharper focus, believe me.
My general feeling on this is that everyone who *wants* Christ’s return to be imminent, instead of far off into the future, will wish indeed that they hadn’t wished so strongly when they see their family being carted off to the gallows (or the loss of their job, reputation, livelihood, etc).
Even Paul thought Christ was coming back in his own lifetime, and if he was wrong, how wrong are all the “Endtimes” scholars?
