Is Really Soon ? by BigMoneyeye: 11:16pm On Jan 29, 2022
I DONT MEAN TO HURT ANYBODY but this sentence ''Jesus is coming soon'' is unture and deceptive. Even though i am suffering and in lack, i have stopped thinking about myself and rather pay attention to my surrounding
When i look around me, i see alot of suffering and hunger, i see alot of pain and hopelessness, i see alot of hurt and diseases.
certainly i can tell ''jesus isnt coming soon''. This world is bleeped up on so many levels with all sort of deception


SOON is the same as never. Nobody is coming to save you, me or the poor and needy.

we are just looking for a way to escape reality. I want to escape. I want to escape this unforgiving world; this poverty stricken world
rat race and struggles that ends ultimately in death.
After all the struggles to ''BECOME'' nobody wins at the end. its a fuckedup situation

If by "Jesus isn't coming soon" you mean people aren't going to be raptured out of their suffering like your mogs and pastors tell you, you are not wrong, only I doubt you even realize the scripture of this yourself.. undecided

The return promised us by Jesus Christ is instead meant to take place at the end of the days when He comes, not to rescue people from sufferings but instead to judge those in the Kingdom of God for the work they have done here on earth in His name. undecided

If Jesus kept His promise to come back immediately after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD, then the second coming had already happen.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened..

In Matthew 24:1-32 Jesus clearly stated that: The distress of those days and the destruction of the Temple were the end time events and Jesus said: “Immediately after the distress of those days
“ ‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
22“If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
30“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven.


There was the greatest distress in Jerusalem around 70 AD leading to the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD by the Romans. Jesus stated that: 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

There's no one coming.

It's just one of those cliches to keep certain religious people hopeful and expectant of what will never be.




What kind of 'soon 'is over 2000 years? grin

The Bible do not lie, if your lucky his coming might be during your children's or grand children's generation. So prepare daily.

Let's pray.

Nevermind my friend your sincerity is enough to tell that you're not here to hurt anyone so whoever feels hurt should check himself or herself because it's time to ask ourselves such honest and sincere question.

What most people like you need is a study of the Bible with Jesus' true disciples (JWs) then you'll be able to answer for yourself after a diligent study of God's word.

Let's consider few scriptures:

God never set up expiring dates for humans, He created us with bodies that could last for all eternity {Genesis 1:26-28} rebellion against God's authority led to a break and the breathe God breath into man began expiring {Genesis 3:17-19} expiring dates set in {Genesis 5:5} and ever since then all faithful servants of God has been anticipating a time when God will restore us back to the mode we were created in the beginning. Job 14:13-15
But before then a case needed to be settled:
Between humans and the Almighty God who should set the standard for good and evil? Genesis 2:7
This is why God allowed for few days to settle the case between God and mankind. By the time mankind is through with all their system of government where none could bring LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, GOODNESS, GENTLENESS, FAITH, MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL {Galatians 5:22-23} in their society God will bring his own government which will destroy all of them {Daniel 2:44} and set all obedient mankind free from slavery to cruel human governments! Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9

Sorry, the few days will last for thousands of years {2Peter 3:8} so that mankind may be given enough time to try all forms of government they can think of.

So how come true believers now agree that the time for God's government is now? Matthew 6:9-10

Well look at the world around you and think for a moment if you can find any country in the world where the citizens are enjoying the full benefits of citizenship {Micah 4:4} that's why most people like you are saying:

Even though i am suffering and in lack, i have stopped thinking about myself and rather pay attention to my surrounding
When i look around me, i see alot of suffering and hunger, i see alot of pain and hopelessness, i see alot of hurt and diseases.

The good news of God's Kingdom is that all these things you're experiencing today will never come up again when God's (Kingdom) kick off.
There will be lots of food for everyone {Psalms 72:16} that's why Jesus (God's Son) practicalized it's possiblity for Israelites when he visited this planet! John 6:10-13
There will be no sickness {Isaiah 33:24} Jesus did this to prove that it's possible! Luke 6:17-19
All amputees will be healed {Isaiah 35:5-6} Jesus proved that this is possible! Matthew 12:13
All evildoers will be destroyed {Psalms 37:7-11 compare to Isaiah 11:4-5}
God will swallow up death forever {Isaiah 25:8 compare to Revelations 21:3-5}
All faithful people who has died before then will be called back to life {John 5:28-29 compare to Job 14:13-15} and all faithful ones who have grown old or wornout by that time will never taste death at all {John 11:25-26} rather they will gradually return to their youthful vigor! Job 33:25

All these may sound impossible for you and i who never saw any Jesus but read about him in books, right?

Well, will you like to know why millions across the globe are happily anticipating the coming of Christ today? It's because they're seeing the fulfilment of something Jesus promised that will take place shortly before his government start ruling the earth!

If you want to know i will show you things happening now around you that has never been so in the history of mankind, this shows that Jesus' government is fast approaching!

Good morning, God bless you and may you have PEACE! smiley

This is what i've discovered in both atheists and misinformed religionists.
You people just like to force your opinion on others and when the person tries to listen and reason with you like a mature mind you either threaten him with torture in some fairy HellFire (Misinformed Religionists Style)

Or you start throwing insults as if the person invited you into a chat in the first place (Atheists Style)

Aren't you the one who first quoted me?
So why are you behaving like a sadist?

Please next time you need to be mature and intelligent before quoting people! smiley

If Jesus kept His promise to come back immediately after the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD, then the second coming had already happen.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened..

In Matthew 24:1-32 Jesus clearly stated that: The distress of those days and the destruction of the Temple were the end time events and Jesus said: “Immediately after the distress of those days
“ ‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’
22“If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
30“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven.


There was the greatest distress in Jerusalem around 70 AD leading to the destruction of the Temple in 70 AD by the Romans. Jesus stated that: 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

This generation shall not pass.... Mathew 24:34
Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
What exactly did the Jesus mean in the above statement of verse 34 ? Is this another controversial statement credited to Him? How many generations have passed since more than 2000 years ago when the statement was made?
A dictionary meaning of "generation" can be: age, age group, peer group, cohort, stage of life
To understand this statement in the Matthew 24:34 let us focus on "generation" as "age" or "stage of life".
Human civilization according to historians, has passed through ages or stages. Prominent among these are: stone age, agrarian age, industrial revolution age, information age and now Artificial Intelligence age.
Stone age is characterized by man in culture of making use of stone as weapon and equipment.
Agrarian age is marked by men using simple machine as farm implement and weapon. It's man's major preoccupation was agriculture. This was the stage at time of Jesus Christ.
Industrial age is defined industrial revolution, when man started using energy driven complex machines for agriculture and production.
Information age came with man started using extremely fast machines.
Now artificial intelligence age means man started using intelligent or smart machines.
So back to the statement of Mathew 24:34 we need to understand that up till today all the features of all past ages are still present in the world today despite the stage of civilization as at now
We still have stone, agrarian, Industrial ages culture among some people in many regions of the world that are regarded as modern civilization till now.
High level of illetracy, farmine, food scarcity, malnutrition, poverty, pandemic and disaster which were all attendant features of past ages are still with us till today.
So in effect what the Holy Spirit want us to know in the statement is that, the iminience of the end of the world shall be so soon that many parts of the world would still exhibit characteristics of agrarian age which was when Jesus was making that statement in Matthew 24:34 .
May we be found worthy to meet Him when He returns.
Re: Is Really Soon ? by twosquare(m): 9:16am On Jan 30, 2022
The coming of Jesus is tied to the raising of a glorious church. If the church hasn't reach a stage of without spot, blemish or wrinkle, He won't appear.

What's He coming to do when those He's coming for are not serious? We're the ones delaying Him. If not, He would have closed this age since.
