Christian Missionary: When will Christ Come?
Published by Valeriy Kesov on 2011-02-21 11:23:02
For many centuries, there were people who predicted the start of the last time and date of the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. History tells us that the predictions mentioned in the 1260's, then in 1360's, and later given to the sixteenth century. Archbishop James Usher, who lived in the years 1585-1656, appointed date between 1896 and 1901 years. American theologian Jonathan Edvards (1703-58) predvek opening the kingdom of Christ in America in the late 19 - early 20 th century. In Russia, there were also predictors of such dates the coming of Christ. In 1832, representatives of some Dukhobors Molokan wing, who lived in the Crimea, according to the prediction of Nikita Izhanozha, sold the property and entire families have moved into the Caucasus - to meet Christ on the mountain, but this did not happen. In 1928, the spirit told a representative of the leading evangelical denaminatsy, whose name I will not mention, that urgently needs to go to Zion to meet Christ. "Despite the cold winter weather, almost all the carts were otezzhat in an unknown direction, leaving the home farm. They are, of course, detained by local authorities, and medical examinations have found some of them nervnorastroennymi, almost insane, and under the supervision of the police went back to Romanivka . Two of the children froze to death "
Such predictions have occurred from time to time .... 1874, 1878, 1914, and finally in 1975
The Bible says that "there is nothing new under the sun." Perhaps in the future or even now someone is trying to mislead the people of God, appointing new dates coming of Christ. And now, living in 2010, looking at history, I ask myself, "And why do people have tried to assign the date of the coming of Christ?" Indeed, in the Scriptures indicate that on that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only (MF 24:36). The Bible is the unshakable basis for the beliefs of, any prophecies that contradict the Word of God has already said through his prophets and apostles in the Scriptures, are baseless and false. On the basis of Scripture, we can find signs of recent times. In recent years, the Bible says, "For many shall come in my name, and will say:" I am Christ, and shall deceive many. " (MLF 24: 5) The English Bible: "for many will come in my name, claiming" I am the Christ ", If these" many have come and said that we have Christ, then people would not believe, after all who of them is present, but these people are cunning. like their father, and they say that Jesus Christ - is the Christ, hiding behind the name of Christ, but actually preaching to them and their objectives.
Another sign of the last time is that it will be great changes in nature will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines, and pestilences, and fearful sights and great signs from heaven. " (LK 21:11) Over the centuries, sometimes these things happen, and carry with them thousands of innocent lives, causing much material damage. I believe that by approaching the end, these various natural phenomena will occur all chasche.Eti terrible events and great signs from heaven, will sign for humanity.
That the braid of the spiritual condition of people before the end of the world and the coming of Christ, there will be depression, sadness and bewilderment (LC 21: 25-26) "People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the earth for the heavenly bodies will be shaken," Oh, it will be awful! Dies we are now waiting for disaster, coming on the earth? I do not think so! Do we understand the full meaning of the words "for the powers of heaven shall be shaken"? Our planet is a way to overcome its orbit in 24 hours. Exactly so, this is the planet revolves around the sun, so now it's winter, and then it will be summer? And if these orbits will be shaken? If suddenly these celestial forces, which are kept planets, the sun, the earth, the moon - will be shaken - will be terrible!
No less important will be changes in the nature of man, in his heart. In 2 Timothy, 3:1-5 verse, we see that "in the last days grievous time. For men shall be lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control , brutal, not lovers of good, traitors, heady, conceited, more voluptuous than bogolyabivy, having a form of godliness but denying its power. " Why come the time serious? Because people will be "bad", I wonder what they will have a form of godliness, but their internal forces are denying, but they will still have "a form of godliness."
It only remains to add that nynyashnyaya depressed economy, is far end of the world, but only an approximation of the time, which is written in the Bible and the change / transfer of power .. We do not know when will be the coming of Christ, and I never take him to predict. Encounter with God may have occurred in people who have predicted all these pseudo-coming, and I hope very much that they have repented of his deed. God help us, live for today, cherish every day of our lives, doing the right thing, that we should not be ashamed at His coming, as it is written. A meeting with God, be sure to come, every man, sooner or later.
Live with Him, to not be ashamed at His coming.
God Bless
