One hour early.
Have you ever agreed to meet someone at a certain time, and then been surprised when they came a little earlier than you expected? For some people this can be quite unsettling, and even annoying!
We many be used to people coming much later than they said they would, but its probably quite unusual for things to happen sooner.
Its the same with Jesus coming back. Many people expect him to come in a 'few more years,' or maybe next century. They imagine all sorts of tie s when he ought to appear, but what if he came today? would Jesus be happy with the way you are living right now?
What? Here already!?!
Ding Dong
The Bible says "Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect"
(Matthew 24:44 New King James Version)
