2 Peter 3:10 (NKJV) 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As we watch the events of the day unfolding around the globe, those who have eyes to see may be wondering what all of this means with regard to the return of Christ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

More specifically, many are asking when.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There is a curiosity that causes us to ponder on the timing of the return of Christ and the judgment of God upon the evil that has taken place over the centuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is a great question, and one that we all should be considering in one form or another in light of current events. But it\u2019s also a question with no definitive answer. Let me explain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God has purposely hidden the timing of these types of events from human eyes and human understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Because God operates on faith in everything that he does. Our entire walk with Him is based on trusting Him, even though we have never seen Him, and we have limited understanding of the way He moves and operates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And while there are many prophecies (hundreds and hundreds) that can give us a rough idea of some kind of markers to go by, so many of these prophecies are intertwined with each other, and with other events, that it is literally impossible to accurately sort them all out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jesus Himself said that no man would know the day or the hour of His return.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Matthew 24:36 (NKJV) 36 \u201cBut of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It\u2019s plain that God doesn\u2019t want us knowing the exact timing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With that said, though, here is the most important thing to know: We need to live like it\u2019s going to happen today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We need to walk with God as He desires us to do, pressed in closely to Him, letting nothing come between us and Him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We need to be sure we put Him first in everything we do, giving Him precedence in every aspect of our lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And we need to keep our eyes on heavenly things, not worldly things, being sure to be ready if that day arrives during our lifetime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Faith. Perseverance. Trust.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
