When will The End happen? We do not know. Even Jesus’ disciples “asked Him repeatedly”:
6 So when they had come together, they asked Him repeatedly,
“Lord, are You at this time reestablishing the kingdom and restoring it to Israel?”
7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority.” – Acts 1:6-7
The What’s Up Calendar
The Bible is not an interactive future-telling calendar for us to know the dates of what is going to happen in The End times. I wish!
I kind of wish we had a calendar of what’s up! But, that’s not happenin’. We have no What’s Up Calendar from God.
“It is not for you to know
the times or epochs
which the Father has fixed
by His own authority.”
– Verse 7 of Acts 1:6-7
PIC by Peter Garcia: Jesus returning in the clouds
What we do have from God is “signs” of the times, warnings, major events coming ’round the corner, so to speak. Jesus offered signs.
The prophecies of the Bible do make up a map-like graph of what’s up. But the prophecies are scattered all over the Bible, so nobody can be sure of the future. We must trust that the God of the Ages is in control of His Master Plan — and He will bring about all of His plans according to His timing.
Time as it really is
We must remember that He is taking His sweet time to do it all. He’s not on human time! Wait for it. God wants more people to be saved for eternity. That is why He “waits” (2 Peter 3:9). He’s not late! In reality — He will be right on time.
FOR MORE:
Jesus said, “It is not for you to know the times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority.” The Bible is not an interactive future-telling calendar for us to know the dates of what is going to happen in The End times. I wish! What we do have from God is “signs” of the times, warnings, major events coming ’round the corner, so to speak. Jesus offered signs so we would know what’s coming.
Jesus volunteered to give us signs that would usher in the End Times
