When Will CHRIST Return?

 

When Will CHRIST Return?

And Establish His 1000 Year Reign Over The Earth?

 

This is a question that plagues the modern world, especially the various Christian religions. Many have thought they figured it out in the past, present and many will try to figure it out in the future. Some guess the exact date and some just guess the month and year.

 

JESUS said:

Matthew 24:36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angles of Heaven, but only My Father.”

Acts 1:7 “And He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know times or seasons which The Father has put in His Own hands.’”

 

So no one knows except The Father!

 

One reason that GOD keeps that council to Himself is that JESUS taught us to watch and be ready because of the very fact that we do not know when He will return. He does tell us to know the signs of the times in which we live. Matthew 24 and 25 are full of examples of both of these commands.

 

Another reason is that we do not even know for sure what month or year it is now! Our modern Roman-Greco calendar is not accurate, scientists have corrected it (they hope); they count time as more than 4000 years BC (Before CHRIST) and 2022 years AD (Anno Domini [in the year of The LORD]), now called BCE and CE (Common Era); that is recorded history only. This is the month and year of August, 2022.

The Hebrew (Jewish) calendar counts history from the creation to the current month and year of Av, 5782; they have changed their calendar a couple of times and they have changed their new year date from Abib (April) to Elul (September).

The Essene calendar also counts the years from the creation, but to the present month and year of Av, 5947 and still has the New Year starting in Abib (April); Exodus 12:1; Deuteronomy 16:1.

 

So why all the fuss about when JESUS will return? It was not a subject that He emphasized; He emphasized preaching The Gospel to all the world; to every tribe, language and nation. In fact He commanded us to do so, we call it the Great Commission, Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:1418; Luke 24:44-49; John 20:19-23; Acts 1:4-8. Go into all the world and preach The Gospel, proclaim liberty to the captives, make disciples of the nations, baptize them in My Name, cast out demons, heal the sick.

 

I have enjoyed my study of The End Times and the return of CHRIST, I have written about my studies and posted them on my blog. I will teach on The End Times and the return of CHRIST with anyone who wants too. But that is not my call nor is it anyone’s call, every Christian is called to preach the Gospel, to be a witness of CHRIST’s Salvation to everyone we can. It is not important to know when CHRIST will return, it is important to be ready for His return. Being ready for JESUS return and proclaiming JESUS as Savior and LORD to those who don’t know Him is what we are called to do.
