There is no way to hurry or postpone these events; God in His sovereignty has preordained and predestined all these things at the onset of creation.

(Ecclesiastes 3: 1-22, John 11:25, Isaiah 53: 1-12, Ephesians 5: 22-23)

And in the fullness of time, Christ will return, just as He left this earth gathering all who belong to Him, those who are steadfast in their faith; believing in the Father’s gift of grace, with the inheritance of eternal life; living and reigning with Him forever.

 God Has Given Us His WORD

 “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.  As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for,
