The Signs of His Coming

In 1533, a German preacher promised the New Jerusalem would come in Strasbourg. It didn’t. In 1844, an American farmer promised the return of Christ. He didn’t show. Charles Russell promised Jesus’ return in 1878, 1881, and finally in 1914. All were wrong. Recently, Harold Camping promised it in 1994, 2005, and 2011. Yet, here we are, still awaiting the return. We might be tempted to ask again with the disciples “What is the sign of your coming?” Today, we get to consider Jesus’ own answer.
