When Will Our Lord Return?
The Lord has given us a very clear signs as to his return, we may not
know the day or hour, but we can know with certainty of the approximate year.
The following should make that clear to those that watch and follow.
Jesus Said to "Watch"
Christians are to pay attention to world events so that they will know when
events line up with the Bible. Jesus clearly taught that we are to pay attention to end time events, and that those who
do might escape what's coming.
"Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets." (Amos 3:7)
"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." (Luke 21:36)
"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." (Matthew 25:1-13)
"But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober." (1 Thessalonians 5:1-6)
While we do not know the day or hour, we do have a reasonable idea of the season we live in,
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near: So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors." (Matthew 24:3-33, Mark 13:1-37, Luke 21:10-28)
When You See These Things Come to Pass Know He is at the
Door
When you see what things come to pass? False Christianity, Increase in Global Conflicts,
Food Shortages, Pestilence / Sickness, Earthquakes, Christians Under Attack, and
Moral Decline.
"All these are the beginning of sorrows." (Matthew 24:8 Mark 13:8)
Prior to His return the world will experience what is called sorrows.
False Christianity
"For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." (Matthew 24:5, 11, 23-37 Mark 13:5-6 Luke 21:8 Revelation 6:2)
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
2 Timothy 4:3-4 could not better describe the state of the so called Christian
Churches in the world today.
Increase in Global Conflicts
"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:" (Matthew 24:7 Mark 13:8 Luke 21:10)
"And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword." (Revelation 6:4)
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is only the beginning of world war 3,
world war 3 likely will involve most of the world, more so than world war 2.
Food Shortages
"...and there shall be famines..." (Matthew 24:7 Mark 13:8 Luke 21:11 Joel 1:2-20)
Global food shortages are increasing created by both demonic possessed humans and weather related issues.
Pestilence / Sickness
"...and pestilences..." (Matthew 24:7 Luke 21:11)
"If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God." (Deuteronomy 28:58-62)
Sounds like Aides, covid, SARS, Ebola, Cholera, swine flu, Zika, and Monkeypox
just to name a few. Things like measles and others once thought eradicated are
on the rise again.
Earthquakes
"...and earthquakes, in divers places." (Matthew 24:7 Mark 13:8 Luke 21:11)
There have been 34 Magnitude 2.5+ Earthquakes worldwide in the Past Day as of Dec 24, 22. It should note here that there are presently 24 volcanoes erupting as well. Volcanoes can cause sever earthquakes even when not erupting.
Christians Under Attack
"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another." (Matthew 24:9-10 Mark 13:9 2 Timothy 3:12)
"But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake." (Luke 21:12-17)
At this time there is an attack going on against conservative Christians around
the globe like no other time in history.
Moral Decline
"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." (Matthew 24:12)
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;" (2 Timothy 3:1-4, 12 2 Peter 3:3 Jude 1:18)
It is clear that evil is running rampant, and there is a lack of concern for
fellow human beings, and this is all being egged on by demonically possessed
individuals in governments.
Israel's Rebirth
Another clue to the Lords return can be found with the rebirth of Israel
being recognized as a nation again.
Following the United Nations Mandate of 1947, Israel declared statehood on May 14, 1948, and was admitted to the United Nations (UN) as a member state on 11 May 1949.Add 80 years to 1948 or maybe 1949 when it was admitted to the UN, and that brings us to 2028 or 2029.
In Matthew 24:34; Mark 13:30; and Luke 21:32. Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
But which generation is he speaking of? Those born at the rebirth of Israel. And
how long is a generation? Approximately 70-80 years according to Psalms.
"The days of our years are threescore years and ten (seventy); and if by reason of strength they be fourscore (eighty) years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." (Psalms 90:10)
My personal view is that it started when Israel was admitted to the UN, making
the year 2029 the potential year of His return, lining up with other prophecies.
120 Jubilee Cycles
The Lord said that he would not strive with mankind beyond 120 jubilee cycles. We are presently in the 119th Jubilee cycle which started in 2022 and ends in 2029.
"And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days (season) shall be an hundred and twenty years (as a revolution of time)." (Genesis 6:3)
Per Strong's, day could be translated season, and years as a revolution of time.
The Power to Destroy All Flesh
Matthew states that there would be no flesh left alive if he doesn't
return sooner than expected.
"And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." (Matthew 24:22)
It would be a time in which mankind would have the power to destroy all life
on the planet. Mankind has had that power since the late 1940's with the number
of nuclear arsenals around the globe. It also states that it would be the generation alive when this
is possible that would see his coming.
"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled." (Luke 21:32)
A Statement of Return
There is a definite statement of when he will return in Hosea,
"After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." (Hosea 6:2)
After two thousand years, a day to the Lord is as a thousand years (Psalm
90:4 & 2 Peter 3:8 ), our Lord will return and revive us, "living"
with us for a thousand years, the millennial reign. His death was in 30-31,
meaning he will return approximately 2030-31, depending upon whether you count
the year 0 or not. I will use the year 2030 as my count down year.
So we have 2030 as our return year, but then again, we are told that because of the elects sake "those days should be
shortened". How much shorter we have no clue, a year maybe? I think so.
"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." (Matthew 24:21-22)
It would appear to me that 2029 is pretty close to his return.
2029 by the way, is a “Shemitah” or “Shmita” year which refers to the seventh year of a seven-year
cycle. Shemitah refers to the cancellation of debts, and generally, to the concept of release (the “year of
release”), and it is a Sabbath rest for the Land.
Signs in The Sky
Has an Announcement Been Made in the sky of Christ's Approaching Return?
The sun, moon, and stars are the one thing that cannot be changed by mankind, it has been, and will always be, a constant in it's signs for mankind.
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof." (Psalms 19:1-6)
"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:" (Genesis 1:14)
"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." (Revelation 12:1-6)
Reading the above scriptures, one can clearly see that it is speaking of
Christ's eventual birth, and Satan's attempt to kill him. But did you know that
it was also proclaiming an actual event, or sign in the sky, much like a birth
announcement to the inhabitants of the earth.
When we look up the different words in Strong's and use a more applicable word
translation we can get a better picture of what Revelation 12 is alluding to "And something
remarkable, a great wonder in the sky; a woman arrayed with the light, and the
brilliancy under her feet, and about her head a crown of twelve stars:"
Now it is no longer of a figurative nature, but of an actual event, an astronomical
event.
Only twice in history have the planets and stars, Kings and Virgin, aligned
this closely, the first time it occurred was shortly before birth of the Christ
child.
"Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him." (Matthew 2:1-2)
" When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh." (Matthew 2:9-11)
" Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men" (Matthew 2:16)
Micah also speaks of Jesus return using the term travail, woman in labor, as
a sign of his return.
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel. And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth." (Micah 5:2-4)
The Bible does not give us a specific year of birth or age, plus there are no reliable records that provide this
information, but it has been estimated he was born sometime between the years four to zero BC.
With that in mind we know from history that the first time the King and Virgin planets and stars aligned
was 3 BC. Using this year as his birth year would make him approximately 33
years old as many scholars agree. This is supported by the fact that the Bible says Jesus began his ministry when he was about 30 years old (Luke 3:23).
But did he really start his ministry at thirty, or did he start it at 12?
"Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" (Luke 2:41-49)
Just as he announced that he was beginning to do his fathers business at age
12, 12 years after the first King and Virgin planets and stars alignment, could
it be that he will once again be about his fathers business 12 years after the
second occurrence in 2017 of the alignments? That would mean his return to be around 2029.
A Final Note
The Pope's 2030 agenda to reshape the nations of the earth into a one world religion with him as it's leader, is it a coincidence? I think not.
Biblical prophecies appear to be consistent with Jesus returning between 2028-2031, with the Great Tribulation starting 3 1/2 years earlier. Don't be like those in Noah's day, ignoring the signs.
"But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark," (Matthew 24:37-38)
