We prepare b; iving every day as though its going to occur tomorrow and as though it's not going to occur for a million years, said the clergyman. To me, the big question is not the Second Coming but rather the quality of a persons own Christian life It "To me, the big question is not the Second Coming but rather the quality of a persons own Christian life man, K$ his relationship with God and naid the Rev.

Paul ly happen, In the about it in his preached epistles, and people misunderwould it stood, thinking happen immediately. Must Be Prepared What Paul meant is that we don't know when, but we must be prepared at all times. said the clergyman. The Second Coming must be (understood from the divine perspective, since a day with the Lord is as a thousand years, he said. Jesus spoke of the signs of the times in Matthew 24 and 25. and there are signs that will be and perhaps are being said Pastor Van fulfilled. Heyst. The first of hese is the spreading of the gospel to all the nations of the world. The second sign will be the fulfillment of the prophecies concerning Israel, he said. To me, this does not mean the nation Israel but rather the people of God. Along with a be will there that, or conversion, reawakening, of many Jews to the Christian faith. FREE The Second Coming of Christ is a literal, physical event that will come after the gospel has been proclaimed throughout the length and breadth of the earth, said Elder Cantral Jefferson of the Liberty Park Seventh Day Adventist Church. We cannot set a date, because we dont know, but our denomination believes the time is late, he said. We base our opinion on the prophecies in the Books of Daniel and Revelation, many of which we see as being fulfilled. Fulfillment is coming in terms of events in society, he said, including the areas of politics and religion. We see the various ecumovements menical as a fulfillment of the prophecies that in the latter times all churches will be united as one. he said. Turn to Bible Persons can best prepare by turning to Biblical doctrines, said Elder Jefferson. Everyone needs to accept the complete Bible from Genesis to Revelation; not only in terms of Bible study and reading, but also in terms of turning their lives to Bible principles, he said. large number of persons aren't preparing, because they don't feel the Second Coming of Christ will really happen ana are looking for utopia here on earth, he said.
