Waiting for Godot Anonymous 02/11/16 (Thu) 03:45:51 No.9146

Will there come a time when all Christians will stop waiting for Godot? 10,000 AD, or 100,000 AD years after "I'm coming soon." How many years would need to pass for you to change your mind and decide to stop waiting because no one is coming?

Some people already have.

Paul and the early Christians were sure Jesus was coming back in their lifetime to bring the Kingdom of God on Earth. It didn't happen, but Christianity is still around, still waiting. It doesn't have an expiration date, it can't be undone. It will go on and evolve and spread out and reform until either Jesus returns or everyone slowly but surely moves on to something else (or simply a "Christianity" unrecognizable to us today).

there is many different viewpoints but here are the two most prevalent ones. Which are the pre-millennials and post millennials. The pre ones think that Jesus is coming soon while post millennials believe that he isn't and that we have to make the earth into a good place in preparation for it. Sorry this isnt in depth but I amquite rusty when it comes to this

>Will there come a time when all Christians will stop waiting for Godot?

I estimate some hundred more years.

Did you know the Jewish religion has an expiration date? Their relationship with God is contractual: if - by some date - God doesn't send them the Messiah or deliver his promises, then the Jews are free to stop believing since one of the parties has violated and voided the contract, meaning all obligations are null.

>premillennialists

believe the thousand years of on-earth blessedness will only come AFTER Christ, implying only Christ can fix the world and are awaiting his return to fix everything in the meantime all we can really do is sit on our chuff and be better Christians

>postmillennialists

believe the thousand years of on-earth blessedness will only come BEFORE Christ, so we should get on with the job of remaking the world in God's image, which is how all the reform movements in the 19th and 20th centuries got fomented.

>Amillenialists

believe it's all done already, this is it, the existence of the Church is what Rev 20 refers to, the thousand years is now, enjoy it while you can. But, they do still believe Christ is returning.

In fact, all three believe Christ is returning, that is a fundamental core tenet of Christian belief, to contend otherwise is to divorce yourself from Christian belief. And that statement answers OP's >>9146 question: For as long as there are actual Christians on the earth, they will look for a return of Christ.

This universe will end eventually, maybe a few hundred billion years till the wheat death happens? By then all life and humans will be very different. Very strange to us.

We are at the point where is return is close.

Jesus died in year 4028, so he still has if he continues where he left of exactly 2000 years later he still has some time.

I dont like fix days, because the politics and economics are just to unpredictable. At one point it appears that we are just a breat away before total tribulation, just for the situation to turn 180 and relax, then everything is queit and suddenly great destructuion arrives.

I would guess that we have around 6month to 10 years until the tribulations can start.

Reasons

I feel in my spirit, that God is awakening many people and training them, for the big event that is soon to happen.
