Can the world repent enough to postpone the revelation and the second coming of Christ?<\/p>\n\t
There is no way to answer this question. But why so tied to this world? “Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells<\/em>” (II Peter 3:11-13).<\/p>\n\t Thank you.<\/p>\n I would answer the question with: of course. God is God, a loving God, and always forgiving God. That is how I answered my friends since we don’t know the day or time. The season is now. Can we change the way it is? We can through fervent prayer and by returning to God. Will it happen? I don’t think so.<\/p>\n Thank you for the words of great wisdom. God bless all.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Can the world repent enough to postpone the revelation and the second coming of Christ?
