“Time Won't Tell”

Why does the Bible not tell us when God will return in the end?

Sincerely,
Counting The Days

Dear Counting The Days,

We are not told when the end will come because God wants us to live each day prepared to meet our Maker.  The Bible specifically says that the Second Coming of Christ will come like a thief in the night (1 Thess 5:1-2).  Jesus will return when people least expect Him.  The apostle Paul warned all christians to live their lives soberly, so they would be prepared whenever that great day might come (1 Thess 5:4-8).  Whether Christ returns in your lifetime or whether you die before you go and face the judgment, live your life so that at Christ’s appearing, you shall be saved (Heb 9:27-28).
