MrG, if he is to come when its least expected, what makes you sure then we are a step closer then since the WT is expecting it to happen. --------------
PPM, Jesus coming will be in fulfillment of what Catholics refer to as the 'Our Father' prayer.
(Matthew 6:9, 10) “You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.
All human goverments will be ''crushed'' to enable God's ''will (to) take place''.
(Daniel 2:44) “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever,
Jesus will rule as king of God's kingdom. Immediately prior to this happening there is to be a proclamation of ''Peace and security'' by those that are opposed to God's rule.
(1 Thessalonians 5:3) Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman, and they will by no means escape.
Even though this warning has been given it will still come as a complete shock to those that ignore the Bible's teachings. Those that trust God will remain alert and ready for whenever it comes.
(1 Thessalonians 5:4, 5) But you, brothers, you are not in darkness, so that the day should overtake you as it would thieves, for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We belong neither to night nor to darkness.
