to conclude that the timing of Judgement Day is not to be known by the sons of God is the
same as saying those who perished in the Flood were not alerted to their End by Noah, a
preacher of righteousness.
its the same as saying the people of Nineveh were not told beforehand by Jonah that...
" Yet forty days and Nineveh will be overthrown." Jon. 3:4.
it's the same as saying the Israelites did not know they would be delivered from the
Egyptians or carried away into Babylon.
from an objective point of view the proclaiming of the Day of Judgement is no different
than proclaiming anything else found in the Bible. this is where making predictions and
proclaiming what is found in the Bible two entirely different things. Martin Luther found
that the Bible teaches salvation is by faith alone and was a hunted man from that time on
by the haters of Christ. there likewise follows many objections to the timing of the End.
yet, we should not overlook that the End comes when we die... both physically at the end
of our allotted days as well as when we've died to the world by the salvation which is of
Christ as He causes His elect ones to be born from above. so, as far as the End coming,
it has already come for His elect ones as far as their dying to the things of this world
is concerned... this is a basic tenant of all the truly elect.
we all know that the Bible teaches Judgement Day and the End of the World. not peculiar
that the only scoffers are those outside of salvation as the Israelites opposing Moses
showed themselves to be, while at the same time, the only ones filled with joy to see
their deliverance coming in their lifetime were the truly elect of those days.
likewise, we are told the scoffers of these days find this kind of talk utterly repulsive
and hurl names at those who look for the Promise of Christ's Second Coming as we find them
singled out as " mocker's following after their own lusts... " in the chapter of 2 Peter 3
while these " unprincipled men " want the world to know they as pastor's and apostles,
these are the first to be deceived by their own thirst for pride and recognition, and
being such, their kind follow them. so be it. this is another sign we are at the End as
they fulfill the accusations God has pointed at them... these are practiced in calling God
a liar.
on the other hand, in the same chapter, we are told we are " looking for and hastening the
coming of the day of God... " that we " look for these things. " ... we can not look with
eyes closed.
