How soon as we to Christ's return?

[PrettyboyAndy]

I know no one can know when Christ will return, but following the end time signs, are we close?

The more time that passes, the closer we get. How close? We really don't know. We see the signs, but every generation has had reason to believe THEY were on the edge. Who can say that He might not tarry, and in 500 years things might be such that THEY will be sure it is them?

Does it matter? How should we live?

The truth is, none of us are guaranteed tomorrow. We should always live in preparation for the Lord's coming. Tomorrow it could be, for any of us personally.

(ETA: my apologies. I see this is the Baptist forum. Since I have not offered doctrine, I hope I do not offend. If anyone likes, I will delete the post.)

I really do believe that the end times are near. This is to me when the trumpets sounded

1st. WW1 A lot of artillery and chemical warfare destroying the environment 1914-1918
2nd. WW2 A third of all ships sunk 1939-1945
3rd. Chernobyl (Wormwood) disaster 1986
4th. Fall of the Berlin Wall 1989
5th. Burned oil wells in Kuwait from 700 pits 1991
6th. Soon to come
7th. Soon to come

I was just going over the past older threads and your sort of drew me in. Everyday is closer to the day when Jesus will come again. That being said I do not think anyone can even come close as Jesus said only the Father knows. I not only accept that, but I don't think much about when He will come.

I think the thing I concentrate on more is, how can I be a better Christian. I have so many things to work on myself with. I find it difficult to fit Bible study into my morning retinue. I often wake up any where form 3:30 AM to 5:30 AM in great pain, and I get up while my wife is laying in bed and I turn on my night light and read my OUR DAILY BREAD and do Dr, Stanley's monthly devotional. Then if I am in less pain I go back to bed, but often its close to8*;00 AM so I just get up.

So I am an older man, an even being old I still struggle with being a more concreted Follower of Jesus. I find walking by faith is not the easiest thing to do, if it were Jesus would have not said to do it.

So Andy I would say be more alert to being a genuine Follower of Jesus and doing as he taught and if Jesus returns while you are alive you will be READY. I ask what more can you do?

I agree with all the posts,

And that is very true we must be ready and prepared at all times.

I sometimes think there have been event which might indicate the end times are near, of course no one can know the hour, but Jesus did indicate some events when the time would be near.

I think those events will be cataclysmic in size!!

There is a reason that we are not told when the time of His coming will be. It is because if we knew we would sit on our hands and not be about what we are called to do. We are called to do all that the Lord puts in our hands to do to see that the Gospel is preached to sinners.

Remember that the time is always short. Our generation is but a fleeting moment. Remember as well that it isn't that He will come but that He is coming now. To Him a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as a day.
