❓❓Do you feel that the prophecy of Lord's return has been fulfilled, how can we do so that we don't miss the chance to welcome the Lord's return?

Every time we watch the news, there are various disasters happening and spreading all over the world, and wars have been waged between some countries one after another, which makes us frightened and anxious. Others will say for the disasters you mention, actually they were happening for many years, but is it right that we think so. For those who truly believe in the Lord and understand the Bible, they know that these disasters are related to the prophecy of the return of the Lord Jesus being fulfilled. Do you know that? Now that the 6 prophecies of the Lord Jesus' return in the Bible have been fulfilled, we have a chance to be saved by God if we can welcome the Lord. Then how can we welcome His return?

Hello. May I ask where you learned this eschatology? Starting with the six prophesies fulfilled? There is peace when we walk with His Holy Spirit. Fear is unwarranted. Also, this " chance to be saved by God" has no scriptural reference as those who are Born Again are now born of His Spirit and are not of the flesh. We welcome Jesus Christ of Nazareth, our Father, by repentance from unbelief to belief. Blessings.

It seems you are right in most of what you say. But I don’t understand the six prophecies of His return!? We are to love his coming or return. Want it, hope in it, have faith that He is coming to get us, and love God for doing this. Realizing that we are not appointed to wrath but will soon be in heaven . God is good to do this. Hang on wait patiently, obey the Lord, love your enemy, Mat 25:40, etc. Wait and keep doing good until He comes. Jesus Loves You.

Be ready. How to be is not what you do but how we become in our character.

"But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts." (Romans 13:14)

"be clothed with humility" (in 1 Peter 5:5)

And prepare for how we will be relating as God's family >

"Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do." (Colossians 3:12-13)

And, of course, grow in relating with our Groom Jesus, so we can become ready in character and how we relate with His brothers and sisters. We submit to Him in His peace and how He guides us with "rest for your souls" >

"'Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.'" (Matthew 11:29)

By becoming like Jesus in our character, and by becoming His way in how we relate with Him and His family, we are ready for His return. We are ready to die right so we rise right, or we are ready to be raptured while we still are on this earth.

When Jesus returns, you'll know it. Everyone will. There simply won't be any question about whether or not it has happened.

Thus if anyone tells you He has returned, that person is not telling the truth. It's that simple. No one will need to tell anyone else, because literally everyone will know.

We who believe, because we shall in some sense be caught up in the air to meet Him as He is coming down; because the dead shall literally be raised from the grave, and everyone will stand before Jesus Christ in Judgment.

Since you are not, right now, standing before the glorious Throne of Jesus Christ and transfigured by His grace and power--then no, He hasn't returned.

And as to how you ready yourself for His return? Jesus tells us that since we do not, and cannot, know when He will return we are simply to be faithful to Him as our Lord and Master. So here is how you be ready: Trust in Jesus, and love your neighbor. Live your life as a follower of Jesus. When you sin, confess and repent, knowing God is faithful and just to forgive you. When you have an opportunity to be kind to someone, be kind.

There is an apocryphal story about Martin Luther, where he was once asked what he would do if he were to know for certain that Christ would return tomorrow, his response was "I would plant a tree". While the story is apocryphal, it communicates an important bit of wisdom: The Christian should live every day in a responsible way. Why plant a tree? Because I want to see future generations enjoy the fruits of that tree. So do not put off for tomorrow what you can do today: If you see a person that is hungry, feed them. Someone in need of water? Give them drink. They are naked and in need of clothes? Clothe them. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, do not worry about tomorrow for today has enough problems of its own. Live every day as Christ's disciple, take up your cross every day, pray hard, confess your sins, believe the Good News, remember your baptism, celebrate the Lord's Supper where you declare the Lord's death until He comes, love others. Be faithful.

When Jesus comes all eyes will see Him

Revelation 1:7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

His faithful will meet Him up in the clouds

1 Thes 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Before this happens, Jesus warns of many false prophets in His name (believers) and Satan will make his final attempt to deceive which he succeeds with the majority Revelation 12:9 the devil goes to war with those who keep the commandments of God Rev 12:17 he will pretend to reenact the Second Coming of Jesus but he will not have the power to have God's elect meet Him in the clouds- so if we hear he is in the desert do not go Matthew 24:26 Jesus tells us a head of time so we are not deceived.

There will be more and more destructions around the world that will increase like birth pangs before the Second Coming of Jesus. We are told not to worry but keep the faith in Jesus and keep the commandments of God. Rev 14:12

We honor God by obedience and discipline.

Amos chapter 2 to document. Biblically illiterate Christian people are of no use to God. Especially those who engage in traditions of men and false doctrine. False religion. Get the picture.
Isaiah chapter 55 . God sent the prophets. Theirs plenty of pasture for Christians. Some Christian people are lazy and listen to any misguided preachers.

Revelation chapter 13 . Were in a one world political system. It has no back bone. No teeth. This political system will receive deadly wound near future.

We're in the 5th trump.
At the 6th trump. Satan as antichrist will heal deadly wound. By establishing world peace, it's 5 month period.

Matthew chapter 24 . We're in the beginning of sorrows. Were approaching the 6th trump.

Bible prophecy is coming to pass.

Antichrist will come 6th trump, and the majority are biblically illiterate. They will be deceived by antichrist lies and deception.
Those who have seal of God are prepared for antichrist.

Ephesians chapter 6 is the key to victory.
