1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:1-2).
These verses indicated clearly that we will not be able to predict the timing of the return of Christ. While there is the ability to determine the order of events, there is not the ability to determine the timing. The timing will however catch people by surprise, this we know. We therefore are to be always prepared and assume that the Lord may return at any moment. This should add both a sense to urgency and a sense of immanency to our daily lives. There is no better time than the present to follow Christ.
