8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. (Mark 13:8-10).
Do you ever wonder when the second coming of Christ will occur? Well, scripture tells us very directly. Of course scripture doesn’t give a date (and beware of anyone claiming to know such a date), but it does tells a lot of information about the timing. The second coming of Christ and the consummation of all things will come after the Gospel is preached/declared among all nations. The time between the first coming and second coming of Christ is a time of grace. This grace is seen in the effect that the spread of the Gospel has on all peoples. The effect is that the saving truth of God is made manifest in the lives of His people. God’s timing is such that He will return at exactly the right time, after the Gospel has been declared to all nations.
