Christian faith is an unconditional trust in what Christ has promised.
Hope is almost a maybe maybe not attitude, doesn't sound very trusting to me or anyone ?
...
So what is this hope (blessed hope at that ) that Paul speaks about ?
The taking of The Church in the twinkle of an eye, that is The Blessed Hope.
The imminent return of Christ for His Church.
Then the 7 year tribulation will shortly begin for those left behind (non-believers)
...
The Blessed Hope is that Christ returns for His Church while the believer is still alive.
That's the blessed hope we have.
We unconditionally trust that we will go to Heaven
We hope that it happens before we die.
..
See the difference ?
No?

Hmm, I see what you are saying- we Christians believe in Christ and in heaven.
We hope however that Christ returns in our lives- before things get too bad.

Personally, I think the 7 years of tribulation began on August 21 2017 and, it's only going to get worse before August 21 2024- that was when the great eclipse occurred and it swings back 7 years later. The woman pained in birth was only one of the signs in the heavens that year.

End of 2017 was when we realized that the flu vaccines don't work anymore as was the case with the Australian flu that year and since then, it's been one misery after another. Be it antifa, blm or china, they've all become overtly evil, delighting in causing suffering to others in the 3.6 years we've just gone through.
But the last half of the 7 years of tribulation is going to be worse than the first half. There's a BIG war coming and it's going to draw many nations into it...
