Any moment now. That’s what the vast majority of believers today think as far as the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Christ: Jesus will be back any moment now, destroying the wicked and restoring the Earth to the days of Eden. Or, that the Great Tribulation is imminent. Maybe it’s time that we have a second look at those prophecies.

A third World War. A nuclear attack or war. Pandemics. A one-world government. The Great Tribulation. The rise of antiChrist. The list seems to go on for a while longer of all the things that the average Christian believer is expecting in the future of this world. Some of these Christian believers have their hope in a pre-Tribulation rapture from the Earth, with those “left behind” facing 7 years of unbelievable horrors and trials. What is the basis for all these expectations?

The hope that Jesus will come back soon is a hope that sustains Christian believers around the world through hardship and suffering, and yet day after day things seem to continue for the worse. Will we live to see the Second Coming?

Never before in my life had I encountered a group of Christian believers who insisted that their leadership was the means by which God was speaking to His people today… Never before in my life had I encountered a group of Christian believers who expelled believers who asked Bible-based questions about doctrines and practices… until I encountered the Watchtower organization.
