False Doctrine of the Imminence of Christ's Return -  myth Christ may return anytime, perhaps tonight.

There has been tremendous confusion regarding when Jesus Christ will return to set up His Kingdom. I have put together a web site on this very subject, which is specifically designed to make simple an extremely complicated and misunderstood subject.  To reach this page go to  the various Signs of Christ's Return.

Some folks believe Christ could return at any moment, and rapture them to heaven.  Yet there is no scriptural evidence to support that assumption.

I will just quote some scriptures that so many attempt to twist around to prove their belief that Jesus may return at any moment, perhaps even tonight or tomorrow.

Matthew 24:36-39  "  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. "

Matthew 24:40-44   "  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. "

If you have gone over my article on the Signs of Christ's Return you will have a fairly accurate picture of the events that must precede the return of Christ.

I will just like to point out that we could die at any moment. None of us knows the exact hour of our death (unless we plan on committing suicide or something unthinkably horrible and terrible like that). Hopefully most of us will live to a ripe old age, but still we do not know when we shall meet our Maker.

This is why Christ said that we should always be ready for Christ's unannounced return, because none of us hopefully knows when we will die.

Death is like going to sleep sort of. In the next moment of consciousness we will meet Christ. We will be unaware of the passage of time. Perhaps hundreds and indeed thousands of years will have gone by since we had died, but at our resurrection we will not be aware of the length of time of our  ' sleep'.

I feel there are quite a few people who want Christ to return so desperately that they start to read things into the scriptures that really are not there. Christ will return when God the Father decides - not us. God has revealed certain events or prophecies that need to come to pass first before Jesus returns, and you can read them by gong to my web site Signs of Christ's Return.

There isn't a shred of Biblical evidence that there will be a sudden rapture of the saints to heaven.

My educated guess as to the approximate date of Christ's return is probably sometime between the years 2040 and 2070.
