Look at the signs, all over the world.
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. - Matthew 24:7
I believe that it is this generation that will live to see Jesus return. Look around you. Don't you think that humans often think they are invincible, like they know everything, yet we can't control tsunamis, or earthquakes. We can't. We are powerless. Also why is it that many people blame God for natural disasters, but when something positive takes place, no one bothers to? They just thank themselves.
Exactly. But don't you think it's all getting more and more out of control?
Richter: No one knows of Christ's return.
Daniel: I'm making us look ignorant? Why not read Revelation. I assume you haven't.
"Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ, ' and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. [Matthew 24:4-14]
Daniel: Did I say that these are the only things that will happen before his return? No. Since you are also a fellow Christian, can you suggest what I should say if someone asks me about Christ's return?
