When I was a young lad (19) and came into Christianity, the SOON return of the Lord was an often heard sermon.
Evangelists were shouting it loud and clear. Br. Joe Duke was preaching a revival in Florida. Night after night it was Jesus is comiong soon. It was Janary and he said he did not we'd see Christmas befroer Jesus came back and caught us all away...well not all of us, probably just half us would make it.
I do believe this vein of preraching hurt our churches back in the 70's and 80's
Now today, you rarley hear a message about Jesus coming back again, SOON.
That type of preaching has definetly changed over the years.
