Oh, but does not the Bible tell us "when" He will come back?
No, I'm not referring to the day and hour, for no man, no, not the angels of heaven knows that, but the Father only.
Why can't we know of the "general time frame" for His coming? Is the Bible truly silent on this matter?
When Jesus spent 40 days with His apostles after His resurrection, telling them of all the things written in the Scriptures "concerning himself," don't you think this would have also included what the holy prophets were inspired to write about His 2nd coming?
Did not Jesus also say that when the "Spirit of Truth" is come, it would be then that "He will shew you things to come"? In saying this did He exclude the "approximate timing" of His return, which is one of the "things to come"?
Seeing that the Bible is replete with many details which tell of the circumstances that are to precede and surround His return, don't you think it strange that He would leave His saints in turmoil and doubt regarding the "timing"?
How is a saint of God to know when his/her "redemption draweth nigh," lest they also know the "general time frame" when He will come again to receive them unto Himself?
All such questions are answered in the writings of the Bible, I assure you. We just have to search them out for ourselves!
