For as long as I can remember, I have always loved thinking about how Christ will one day come back for us.

We will then go up to heven to be with Him for eternity.

Doesn't that seem hard to believe? That such an amazing, perfect place as Heaven exists?

For me the most amazing part is trying to grasp that we will live forever! Forever is such a long time, forever is forever.

There is no end to forever, and just writting this is giving my goosbumps.

Heaven is such a wonderful place, it's thrilling to think about the day we will al go there to live, FOREVER!

Though, as thrilled as I am to go to Heaven, I have to be honest, it scares me.

I'm not sure why, but it does. Maybe it's because I will be there forever, and maybe the thought of infinity scares me? I don't know.

I am excited to go to heaven, but I feel like there is so much I want to acomplish first, before we are taken up.

If Christ is going to return during my lifetime, I dont want it to be untill I am about 50.

It may sound silly to say that, but I want to be able to live most of my life before being taken up.

Maybe you may feel the same, maybe not.

I know it is kind of silly to want that, considering once we go to heaven, anything we have acomplished on earth will no longer matter.

I know I have mentioned this verse in a previous blog post, but I still love to re-read it over and over again.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

16: For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

17: After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

Some people predict that Christ will return in 2012, but I dont believe that the date of Christs second coming is something that can be predicted.

At times I think His coming wont be for another hundred to thousand years, then at other times I think it could be during my life time.

No one can be sure, all we can be sure of is that He is coming.

He promised His descpiles after He had risen from the dead, and we know that He is preparing a place for us.

In Revelations, we can find a list of events that will occur before He comes back.

Some of the things on that list have already occured, and now that there is talk of a one world currency, people are considering that Christs return is closer then we thought.

As I said, we will never know when He will return, untill the clear signs, such as a trumpet blow that all of earth will hear and when it happens, we will all know it, even those who did not believe.

His followers and believers, both dead and alive will kneel down to worship Him, but those who did not believe or aski Him into their hearts, will be terrified.

If Christ does return during my life time, whether it be tomorrow or in fifty years, I want to be ready!
