I believe we may know the season of "end time" events, but not the exact date. There are signs Jesus gave, some ignore them some do not. Regardless, I believe we will all face our Maker one day and will all come up short in that we all have sinned. I have broken the ten commandments many times over in one sense or another. Those who realize they have, that they do not have the righteousness of God, simply trust Christ for the free gift of having the penalty of their sins paid for (the penalty is death so Jesus died). Christ then forgives us and gives us his righteousness, the righteousness of God so we are then fully prepared whatever happens. That's my belief.
The advent of the Son of Man has been here since the 1890's but nobody had eyes to see Him.
It happened just as Jesus warned. If the people were not faithfully watching He would come in an hour they would think not and He would be among them as if a thief in the night. (Luke 12:37-48)
The Gentile Christians were given an opportunity to receive the Father and His Kingdom but when the servants of the Father came to deliver the "meat" so that they actually had all of the details on exactly what the business and the primary objectives of the Kingdom were they counted them as foolishness and beat those servants and drove them out from among them.
Just as Paul warned, if anyone corrupts and perverts what the "good news" was all about, to look for and prepare for the coming of the Father and His Kingdom, that instead of it being a blessing to them it would be a cursing to them. (Galatians 1:6-9)
Nowadays if you speak in any way shape or form to indicate you have had a revelatory experience and acquired divine knowledge similar to what Paul experienced, you are immediately assumed to be a nutcase. I recently experienced such treatment from a Christian on these forums. That is a form of beating the servants of the Lord He calls to preach the arrival of the Father's Kingdom.
Now, instead of being met with anxious anticipation and sincere consideration and inquiry hoping that the Father is now establishing it, you are met with the claim that there won't be any more prophets to bring anymore revelation or modern scripture and Christianity itself is already the spiritual vehicle and there is nothing more to come so if you claim to be any special servant of God we know you are of the devil.
Because this blind and arrogant attitude has overcome the body of Christianity, it has utterly failed to realize the hoped for fruition. And, soon, it seems things are coming together such that there shall be a Christian holocaust and they shall be beaten with many stripes, not withstanding they cry "Lord, Lord, we have done all these mighty miracles in thy name..." and the Lord shall I knew thee not, depart from me ye workers of iniquity". (Matt 7:21-23)
Christians have done their best to be nice people but when the final exam came to see if they really meant what they were asked to pray for in the Lord's Prayer came, which is for the Father's will do be done here on earth in His Kingdom, they beat those sent to fulfill their longed for hopes.
That's where things are at right now.
