Yes you have some excellent points!It is true, NO ONE but God knows when this is going to happen, but Jesus did make sure we had very specific signs to watch for, so we would know when he is ‘at the door’…if he truly wanted no one to have a clue about his return, why would he give these signs and warnings? Especially since we are living in a time when so many of these are happening at the same time. Its very eerie to read some of these and then see how they are coming to fruition in our modern times, and from a book written over 2000 yrs ago!!! How could anyone deny the bible considering this alone?
I guess it comes down to Gods definition of ‘at the door’, that could be 100,000 years or 2 days, but Im assuming since he was speaking to us, he meant in our definition of near/ close.
The only thing I could see causing this world to create a one world Govt and basically abolishing all borders, would be some kind of major threat to the entire planet, like an asteroid, or some kind of natural event that would drastically change our planet.
But in Isaiah 9:6 it says that someone called ‘the mighty God’ and would have the ‘Goverment in His Shoukders’ would bring peace.
unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
But Christ denied bringing peace.
Matthew 10:34 Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword
And government was not on Jesus shoulders
John 18:36
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest by the Jews. But now, My kingdom is not of this realm.”
The problem with misinterpretation led to Christ’s crucifixion by the Jews.
The great Princeton theologian of the last century, Dr. Charles Hodge, said something which I have always thought is worth remembering. He said that though the Old Testament is filled with some 333 prophecies concerning the first coming of Christ; in spite of that, nobody got it right.
This PDF asks what if Christ comes as a thief and we miss Him. He’s supposed to bring a new world order as the government will be upon His Shoulders according to Isaiah 9:6
