I didn't say that nobody shouldn't believe what they want to, but that I don't believe in this stuff. Oh I believe that Jesus IS coming back, but as you quoted above, no man shall know when.
I know world history, I know the history of Christianity, and yes, I know what the Bible says.
Why do you imagine that Paul pushed celibacy ( yes, yes, I know..."IT'S IS BETTER TO MARRY THAN TO BURN." ),as did many, many other early Christians and yes, even much later ones sects of Christianity.
The "signs" that you've listed, have been bunched up, like that, over and over and over again, throughout history. If you want, I can go through quite a list, juts off the top of my head, but as late as during the Cold War, people were going through Revelations with a fine tooth comb, saying that the dragon is, of course China, the bear is of course the USSR, etc. and 60 years later, here we all are still and the Christ has NOT yet come again.
I have absolutely NO interest in keeping this back & forth going so don't reply to me. TAKE IT TO THE RELIGION SECTION!
And btw -- my post was NOT "preaching"; I offered a brief overview of the signs of an "End Times" in which YOU wrote and claimed there's been a wide-spread expectation that "Jesus would come back RIGHT NOW." If you can't handle a courteous exchange and discussion, don't waste MY time.
60 years later, here we all are still and the Christ has NOT yet come again.
Keyword: "YET." Comprehension of Scripture takes patience and a deeper understanding, of which you seem to be lacking. Ignoring and dismissing the "Signs" of The End bullet points I presented wasn't designed to be a definitive, which I could have backed up verse-by-verse. But again, it is your prerogative to read/ignore, believe/disbelieve anything you want.
"Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." ~ Jesus Christ, Matthew 24:44 NKJV.
So if you agree with the last verse quote by Matthew of Jesus, why the claim that people have been insisting that "JESUS IS COMING BACK NOW??
Finally, a helpful reminder in courtesy and respect: Belligerent commands barked in CAPS and explanation points will not help any future reciprocation.
