Will Christ’s Second Coming Be Unexpected?
September 12, 2022
#STRaskStand to Reason
Questions about how to reconcile the unexpectedness of Christ’s second coming with passages that advise believers to pay attention to the signs of the times, why Christ hasn’t yet returned after 2,000 years, and whether a person who has died experiences time as a disembodied spirit.
* How can we reconcile the unexpectedness of Christ’s second coming spoken of in 1 Thessalonians 5:2 with other passages that advise believers to pay attention to the signs of the times?
* Though many early Christians thought Christ would return in their lifetimes, it’s been 2,000 years, so where is he?
* When a person dies, is that person experiencing time as a disembodied spirit?
