Efforts to determine the date of Christ’s return has crossed many minds. Tabloids have even tried to make the prediction. First and foremost don’t be mislead by anyone who thinks that they know be mislead by anyone who thinks that they know because we can find in the Bible I Thessalonians 5: 1-2: But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. No one knows when Jesus will come back to earth. In verse 6 we find, Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. This tells u that we should be ready at all times. Live each day prepared for his return.
