A warning
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.  
As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.  
For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;  
and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.  
Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.  
Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.  
But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.  
So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
Matthew 24:37-44
I believe Jesus will one day come again to this world. This time as a conquering king.
He will bring peace and justice to the world. I also believe the above scripture that he will come when we don’t expect him. That even Christians will be surprised.
Jesus make it clear that things will go on pretty much as they always do. That it will be like the times of Noah when. “people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,”
Now I do realize that to the non-Christian this is at the very least pure speculation at the most pure fantasy. So if I am wrong there is nothing to fear.
If on the other hand I and my Christian brethren are correct the world has a lot to fear.
This however is what I believe. I believe Jesus will return because if he doesn’t we as a race will go extinct.
Mankind is not a good steward of this world.
According to Milton Leitenberg writing in a paper Death in Wars and conflicts in the 20th Century, published by Cornell University Peace studies program 3rd edition August 2013, 231 million people died in conflicts in the 20th century alone.
Man is violent.
But man is also a terrible steward of the environment. Global warming is real and those who have political and economic power are reluctant to end the causes of global warming.
Profit, not being proper stewards of the earth are foremost in the minds of our businessmen and politicians. And as the apostle Paul puts it,
 “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.”
I do not think mankind can handle things themselves. It would take a massive change in the thinking for mankind. A monumental social shift.
  In a book entitled “Essentials in Christian Faith” by John B. Harrington, published  in 1958, there is a piece that could have been written today.
It opens with this quote from Paul Gallico in Esquire Magazine in 1948:
“A writer in a popular magazine has written the following words; ‘We are all, if you will pardon the expression, Headed for Hell in a handbarrow. If, ever the people of the world stood in need of a spiritual revival, it is now. We are beginning to poison the face of the earth with our miserable presence. The brakes are off. The cart of the world is sliding down the way greased with hatred, ambition, lies, self-seeking and avarice toward the pit.’”
I think Gallico is correct, and if so we are further down that slide than ever before. Moreover we are gaining speed and we will end in a catastrophic crash.
I believe Jesus will return before we crash and will judge the world justly. That he and only he can bring about the monumental social change that has to occur to save the world.
Think about it.
