Hi everyone.

I know that Jesus will come soon and the Rapture will come also în the near fufure.
I am sad because I am only 21 years old I am still not married. I wanted to see how it was like to be a parent.

What would I do ?

No one knows when Jesus will return.
The Apostles thought it would be in their lifetime, and people have been looking for it ever since. We are to be ready for his coming - it could be tomorrow or nest month. But that doesn't mean we need to put our lives on hold.
You could meet someone and have kids before he returns - then again, you may not meet the right person and never have kids.

Talk to God about it; tell him your fears and ask him what he wants for your life.

1. change your mindset, you will experience exactly what God wants you to experience, no need to be sad or in fear

2. the teaching of "the near second coming" and of "rapture" is not probable at all, Jesus said He will come in His generation, i.e. in the 1st century. not in our, 21st century. Its just a fear mongering by some pastors, made up for getting money and controling people by fear.

Set your mind on things above. Have you never received something so special that nothing else compared to it? I remember my first bike. It was way too big for me but I loved it. Riding the bike erased every other interest. What we are able to experience here on earth is nothing compared to the life to come. Enjoy life here but remember that it is nothing compared to what we will have in eternity.

I've always disliked this coping mechanism.
The whole chocolate vs sex analogy.
Just because you find a greater joy doesn't mean you suddenly stop enjoying lesser joys as well. There's a lot of enjoyable things rather than 1 singular focus. Do you think the God who created this diverse and vast universe really just wants you to get all your joy staring at His face? There's a staggering amount of variety of things you can do in this life, why corner the next life down to just 1 singular activity?
We're to glorify God but is there only 1 single way of doing that?
Does God feel unappreciated if you thank Him for creating something you enjoy?
Happily married couples with several children still enjoy chocolate.
Thank the Lord for creating the cacao plant right?

The 'recent events' have nothing to do with an imminent rapture. We're just dealing with it like a bunch of morons, as usual. God is a craftsman, he isn't going to end it on an anti-climax like this.

Sorry, but you're here until you're opening up your centenary telegram mate. You'd better belt up for a long ride.

Look at your own parents, and other parents, to see how it is like to be a parent.
Jesus was not a parent, and it would not surprise me if he never wanted to be a parent.

As others have hinted, it's best to let go and let God. God knows exactly what you need to experience in preparing you to come 'home'.

You should reconsider / re-examine your faith.

We should love the Lord more than anything in this world and as such, those who do, eagerly awaits (His return)

The life to come will so eclipse anything offered by this short life, that your concerns about what seems to be a loss now, will totally disappear.

"The things of this world will grow strangely dim in the light of His Glory and Grace."

Rather than dread His coming work towards His coming into your life. Love God and neighbour true. Put your faith and hope in Jesus and let His word teach you true.

P.s He brought me my wife when i felt very much like you do now, all these years ago thinking Jesus would come soon. He did. He came and dwelt in my heart ever since and brought me my wife Yvonne Yvonne means gift of God, she surely been. You have a good chance that marriage might well be God's will for you yet. Jesus always comes spiritually first after that you will long for His coming instead of dread it. Why let satan take your future away? Only with Jesus and from Jesus do we get a good future!

Peace.

Or you could seek the Kingdom of God first and enjoy what is available to you instead of pining for what is not.

We are to live our life as if Jesus would return at any moment but we are not supposed to live our life with the idea that Jesus is coming again at ay specific time in history as NO ONE knows the day or hour of His return.

Do not be sad, live your life, continue on in your plans with God leading the way.....when He comes He comes and nothing else will matter then.

Mark 13:32–37 (NKJV) Jesus speaking

Exhortation to Watch

Matt. 24:36–51; Luke 21:34–36

32 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. 34 It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch. 35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning—36 lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!”

hi say you won a trillion $ inheritance would you not be looking forward to receiving that? Say it was contested in court and you know you will win but now are delayed from getting your money so you have to keep on living as you were but life will be different when you receive it. How long is eternity? How long is this life? We have each day a chance to love others and participate in sharing the love of God. When you die or are raptured do you know what really takes place? Your body now has both the nature of Adam and the spirit of Christ which is what we were created for fellowship with the son of God and the father and each other. When we die we put off the nature of Adam and the nature of Jesus is now 100% in us. We will be at perfect harmony with the father and each other and the new creation will make this place look like a dump. You are seeing the judgments of God righteously coming upon the earth so that many may still turn to Jesus and make it. You are living in most exciting times and I agree you will see these things come to pass as the momentum and direction are clear and there is not much space until the NWO takes over and the man of sin is revealed. To me this is proof of the faith I have as all things are coming to pass as written so make each day a celebration and be filled with teh Spirit and share your testimony.

We don't know, but we keep looking (1 Cor. 11.26) and meanwhile serving Him by His grace.

What would I do ?
1) You don't know how soon Jesus will come.
2) I'm sure Heaven will be better than anything we could have hoped for in this life.
3) If you want to see part of what being a parent is like, hang around friends or family that have small children already. That will either reinforce your desire for children, or cause you to reconsider it.

Daniel 12:v.11-12:
God revealed to the prophet Daniel, and JESUS confirmed the prophecy, that "from the TIME that the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days (1.290 days). Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days". - 1335 days -

That said here goes exemples of the moment of JESUS's coming. Here is wisdom: Matt;24:v.15 - JESUS said: When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand? Now see: The AD was not established yet, but IF it had been established today, the coming of JESUS would be as follows:

See, IF the Abomination of Desolation had been rise up and be manifested today 03 31,2020 - then the day 1.290 (3 years and 7 months) would be 10 31,2023; plus 45 days---> day 1.335 ---> it will be december 15, 2023, this would be the day of JESUS coming;

See, IF the Abomination of Desolation would rise up and be manifested tomorow, at 04 01,2020 - then the day 1.290(3 years and 7 months) would be 11 01,2023;plus 45 days -->day 1.335-->it will be 12 16,2023, this would be the day of JESUS coming;
And so on.
The examples above give us only a rough idea of when the wonderful event of the return of JESUS may occur, if we count the days as soon it be established the Abomination of Desolation in Jerusalem, understand?

The AD will be established in the middle of the week(Daniel 9:v.27), that is the last week or the 70th week, and the last week will begin soon, very very soon, as soon as manifest the false messiah of the Jews, the son of perdition, a former Cherub, who is the Beast of the earth, the Beast like a lamb (Rev.13:v.11-18), whose man was born decades ago and is among the people of Israel ready to manifest himself as the messiah of the Jews and of his destroyed world, as was prophesied by my Lord JESUS-John 5:v.43: 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another (AN IMPOSTER, yes, AN IMPOSTOR) shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. - TAKE CARE. BE CAREFUL -

Notice that before the establishment of the Abomination of Desolation there will be a period of 42 months(1260 days) ruled by the Beast of sea with 7 heads and 10 horns-Revelation 13:v.5.
That said, it is impossible yet today to say the day and the hour of JESUS's return, only the Omniscient God the Father knows it.

THE WORLD OF DEVIL IS ALREADY IN TOTAL CHAOS AND GOES TO THE ETERNAL FIRE

One thing is right; In the face of world chaos, the way is open ahead to manifest the false messiah, the lamb with two horns because he represents tweo KINGDOMS, in fact a false lamb, but he speaks like a Dragon (Revelation 13:v.11-18).

Everything will change excessively from now on, that is, while the Devil's world is descending into the abyss, into the ETERNAL FIRE, the true people of God begin to ascend towards the third heaven, the Kingdom of God, but remember Acts 14: v.22: "that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."

Be ready, or, get ready, and be very careful of yourself.

Could happen 10 seconds from now, could happen 100 years from now. You go to remember that we tend to look things from the human perspective. We see all things we would like to do and often we fear not being able to do them. I didn't get married until I was 32. I still want kids but it just won't happen. Sure, I am sad about it.

But if God comes back before it happens, if it does, I am ok with that too. What we may miss out on is not the end of the world. Because this life is temporal and none of it matters once we die. By that I mean marriage, kids...etc aren't a thing after this. Being free of this life is something I look forward too. Doens't mean I don't love my wife or care about the world. I just know the future is way better.
