Today, September 23, 2025, has been added to a list of days predicted when the Rapture is supposed to occur, yet it did not. It amazes me how many people throughout the years have guested when Christ is going to return and were wrong. To be honest, I am not sure why so many would want to predict the return of Christ because all of them have been proven wrong.
Does that mean Christ will not come back at all? Christ will return one day we just do not know when. Christ Himself said, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone" (Matthew 24:36). The Apostle Paul wrote, "Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night" (1 Thessalonians 5:1-2).
Christ's return will happen during a time we do not expect. Till then, what kind of people ought we to be? The Apostle Peter said, "Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens burning will be destroyed, and the elements will melt with intense heat!" (2 Peter 3:11-12).
We are to be the people of God living lives honoring to the Lord as we wait for Him to come. We are not to guess when that time is but to expect it. It could be after our lifetime or in another 1,000 years. We have a mandate from the Lord to make disciples and teach them to observe all of His commandments (Matthew 28:19-20). We are to be holy at mentioned earlier. We are also to comfort one another and build each other up (1 Thessalonians 5:11).
