As a single mother things are challenging my sons are autistic and now that I’m homeschooling them my hours to work are limited. Lord as I struggle to provide groceries and as I struggle to pay my rent each month I ask for you to continue to give me the courage to keep going. The Lord is my strength and shield.

His return is not based on a few who haven’t heard the gospel and believed. The creation itself is the message along with preachers etc. The Bible says “This Gospel of the Kingdom”shall be preached and demonstrated through His church that would produce a glorious church without spot and wrinkle. And the enemies of God would be made a footstool. The big surprise for the church is that we aren’t leaving He is coming!! There’s a big difference. between the gospel of salvation and the gospel of the kingdom. They are two separate messages. The gospel of the salvation is with in the gospel of the kingdom.

See second Thessalonians chapter 2. And only God knows when it will end. He needs to concentrate on Christian discipline, teaching us how to be better followers of Christ. And how to practice it.

Ezekiel says that He will then gather ALL of Israel together and the whole world will know that He loved Him. When He comes back , He is going to destroy ALL of the nations that scattered His people.

You're a pastor? None hath ascended to heaven, the dead know, and do nothing, bless your heart. There's only 2 reasons Christ hasn't returned, the first might be necessary for the 2nd. 1. Not enough humanity has been born in the history of earth, to complete God's plans. 2. Sunday Christianity has failed to preach the gospel that will bring the return. The gospel from the mouth of Christ, is: Mk. 1:14-15. To embellish or add to the simplicity, makes it another gospel. Currently, Sunday Christianity, calls the message/teaching of salvation, the gospel. Anyone happen to know why? God works in his time, but also expects the professing to comply, not use another gospel, or invent another Lord's day.
