God could have killed the devil but then the question of sovereignty would still be on the table being that the entire heavenly body is witness to these events. This time is given because God is righteous.
#Last soul to be born before end of days free
God has given the devil time to attempt to prove that agents of free will do not need God in their lives. The devil was the first creature / agent of free will to question the sovereignty of God. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.

7īy the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,īeing kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.Ĩ But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day These waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. Into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. They deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?

In fact its pretty clear that we cannot know and that we will not be expecting him.Īs to the second half of your question, God knows what he is doing. 44 So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.Īll this to say we don't know when or under what conditions he is coming back. 43 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. Honestly there is no telling when he will come back, but I can guarantee that no one will expect it when it comes:Ĥ2 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Many people have tried to figure out when he will come back, or what conditions are required for him to return, but quite frankly they aren't specified and we are to be ready for his return at any moment.ģ5 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.ģ6 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
