When will
the world end?

No one knows the exact time of Christ's coming?
Matthew 24:36 says, “But of that day
and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”
Also, in Matthew 24:42 the Bible says, “Watch
therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.”
However, what does Jesus promise?
John 14:1-3 says, “Let not your heart
be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are
many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a
place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and
receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
How will Jesus return?
The Return
1) Visibly
Revelation 1:7 says, “Behold, He is
coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And
all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.”
Matthew 24:27 also says, “For as the
lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming
of the Son of Man be.”
2) Audibly
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says, “For
the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an
archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the
clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”
3) Literally
Acts 1:10-11 says, “And while they
looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them
in white apparel, who also said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up
into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so
come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.’”
So why is Jesus taking so long?
II Peter 3:8-9 says, “But, beloved,
do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand
years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His
promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing
that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”
What will the world be like when Jesus comes back?
Matthew 24:37-39 says, “But as the
days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the
days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the
flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man
be.”
What additional warning does Christ give?
Luke 21:34-36 says, “But take heed to
yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and
cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as
a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch therefore,
and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that
will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
While we wait for Jesus, how should we live?
Titus 2:11-14 says, “For the grace of
God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying
ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly
in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of
our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He
might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special
people, zealous for good works.”
