When will it happen?
Jesus Christ can return at any time.
The Bible has made it very clear that the exact date and time of His return is known only to God. The timing is not known, and will not be known, by anybody (including The Church). Please disregard any person or group that predicts any particular date as the day of the Lord's return. The Bible passages below make this quite clear.
The Bible uses the imagery of 'the thief at night' (1 Thessalonians 5:2) to explain the unexpected nature of the second coming; warning clearly that it would take the whole world by complete surprise.
It would not take believers by surprise because we have been firmly instructed in the Bible to be ready at all times. The paramount message about the timing of the return of Jesus Christ is this: BE READY AT ALL TIMES, BECAUSE HE CAN COME AT ANY TIME. (Matthew 24:24)
Today, the only reason Jesus Christ has not yet returned is because God is still holding out the opportunity of repentance to all that would take it. But one day, the door of salvation will be shut forever; and it will be too late. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Please repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour today.
