2nd Coming

Robert, I finally get to respond to a message you wrote today. This is so cool. You talked about the second coming. Yes, I do want to hear your views on it, and we do have plenty of time to discuss it. I don't think He will come before the year 2000 either. Heavenly Father knows and Bro. Valletta said that that time IS set in stone. It is not dependant upon our righteousness or wickedness. It will come at a time when the saints are heavily persecuted. Heavenly Father isn't going to say, okay, I think now is a good enough time. It will be like the flood, when it is the only alternative left. When I was younger I used to hope that it would come during my life, but as I study more about it I don't think it will be in my lifetime. I don't remember exactly where it was or who it was that said it (we read it in Valletta's class), but someone said that it wouldn't be in his lifetime, nor his children's lifetime, nor his grandchildren's lifetime, nor in their children's lifetime, nor in THEIR children's lifetime. I will have to look over the handouts again to find this. If I can't find it I will ask Bro. Valletta about it Tuesday and email it to you. I know that we will be happy. Someone once said that it doesn't matter wether or not you see Christ come again or not. Your second coming could be when you die. I truly believe that we need to prepare to meet Christ again. It doesn't matter wether it is during THE Second Coming, we will see him again. I had better reply to your last message. I kind of got preachy again. Oh well. I love you and would love to talk about this, or anything with you, especially when it concerns the gospel, because the gospel, like you, makes me happy. Love, Wanda
