The second coming of Christ is the hope of the Church of God as well as the world. “He is the desire of all nations” (Hag. 2:7). It is revealed that we might comfort one another and edify one another (1 Thess. 4:18; 5:11). Nevertheless, it is a well-known fact that the truth of the Second Coming has been a veritable battlefield and we have beaten “our ploughshares into swords rather than the opposite” (Joel 3:10; Isa. 2:4).
It is very important that we should “rightly divide the word of truth” and try “the things that differ” (Phil. 1:10 margin).
