Recall this adage “what goes up must come down, it is simply a matter of time”; as such, the absolute proof that Jesus Christ is alive and ascended to heaven is the truth that he is coming down to forcefully take-over the earth; therefore, the day of this great event (which will affect the entire humanity) ought to be priority knowledge for everyone on earth.
It is also important to know that speaking of himself God did say, “I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure” (Isaiah 46:9-10); since he declares the end from the beginning is it then true that he said nothing about the exact day of Christ second coming (his return)?
The answer to the above question is the major challenge facing those of us, who know that, like the time of his birth, Christ is waiting for the fullness of time to redeem his body from the earth and unleash his wrath, for his return and forceful take-over of the earth (Galatians 4:4; Ephesians 1:10). This challenge is because of the deep rooted believe that no one knows the day of Christ second coming; meanwhile, in keeping with his nature of declaring the end from the beginning, God declared the day of Christ return even before his birth.
Someone might quickly say, but Christ said 'of that day and hour knows no one;' oh yes, just read on, you will come to understand what he meant.
So, just as we know that 25th of December is Christmas day and we therefore, watch as Christmas approaches. In like manner, Paul admonished believers to “consider one another ... so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrew 10:24-25).
How can we see the day approaching if we do not know when that day, of the redemption of the body of Christ, will be? Also, how can we see the day of the vengeance of God approaching if we are ignorant of the day of this event?
As in every long distance race, once the finishing line comes in view, the runner is energized to finish the race. Since we have a God who glories in concealing things for believers (whom he has made kings) to search it out (Proverb 25:2; Revelation 1:5-6); so, if God had declared these days of redemption and his vengeance, though concealed, let us set out to know them (search them out), as to enable us watch their approaching and be energized.
