Major News Sources Ask: Will Christ
Ever Return?
From the July 2009 Trumpet Print Edition
(Yes, He will.  And probably within a decade.  Here's why)
By Gerald Flurry

The Bible tells us that no man knows the day or the hour of Christ’s Second
Coming (Matthew 24:36). But that same chapter also tells us that we should
know when Christ’s coming is “at the door” (verse 33; Williams Bible). It is now at the door and you can prove it. I will give you Christ’s own answer to when He will return. After all, no man could possibly answer that question—only Christ (verses 23-24).

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” (verse 3). So what is the sign of Christ’s coming and the end of this world, or this age of man’s rule over man? After that question, Christ proceeded to give His answer. So why don’t men understand? Because human nature doesn’t really want Christ’s answer at this point (Romans 8:7). So mankind must suffer until that attitude changes.

When Christ returns, He will begin to change human nature in all of the world’s inhabitants. Today, the whole world is deceived (Revelation 12:9)—including religious people. Only a very few are having their human nature changed. One day soon, they will be able to help Christ change the world. (Request our free booklet Human Nature: What Is It?)
Christ taught the disciples the sign of His coming and the cataclysmic end of this age. So what is that sign? Christ’s coming will be the greatest event ever to occur in the universe. And it is going to radically change this Earth and the universe! Christ has promised to put the whole universe under man’s rule, to build and beautify, when he surrenders to God (Hebrews 2:8; Moffatt translation).
That means Christ is going to save atheists, Hindus, Catholics, Muslims, Protestants—all humanity. But He will do it in His own time frame.
