The Bible teaches that the present age will come to a close, and Jesus will return to establish His eternal kingdom. According to Matthew 24, believers must be prepared for this event, as the time of His return is unknown, and He will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. The book of Revelation looks forward to this culmination of history, with Jesus proclaiming, "Surely I am coming quickly." The apostle Paul also warned of difficult times in the last days, as described in 2 Timothy, emphasizing the need for believers to remain faithful and vigilant until the end.

For this reason, you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour you do not expect.
But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day on which your Lord will come.
No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
