I certainly do believe in the soon return of Jesus Christ... and there just may be something to this idea that He will return at the end of 6,000 years. <br /><br />The only problem is that there has been some terrible record keeping over the past 6000 years... and some years were lost. The calendar got reworked... so who now is able to pin point the exact date with certainty? Me thinks that little muddle up was God's way of confusing and shutting down the date setters.<br /><br />Furthermore, how can any serious Bible student overlook the caution about setting a date for His second coming? Matt. 24:36 clearly tells us that no one knows the day or the hour, not even the angels in heaven, but Jesus said only My Father knows.<br /><br />I like to look on the bright side. Even though Christ did not return today as many hoped, it brought the issue to news all around the world. No doubt it has got some people looking into their Bibles and asking questions... and that is a good thing. We need to study and know in our heart what is right and wrong... and how best to live for Him.<br /><br />I like the CS Lewis quote you used... since we don't know when He will return, we need to live so that we are ready whenever He does come.Sherwin Goerlitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819728977792967305noreply@blogger.com
