Why Must the Lord Return? Understanding God’s Timing
Summary
The second coming of Christ isn't just a surprise event; it’s the culmination of a world that has strayed too far. It marks the point of no return for a civilization lost in immorality.Keywords

Throughout history, God has judged both individuals and nations due to rampant immorality and sin. Civilizations, much like ancient Israel, often seek God when they are in need, only to fall back into sin once they feel secure. Prophets, preachers, and messengers have been sent repeatedly to warn these nations. But when these warnings are ignored, judgment inevitably follows.
A recent example of this cycle is the aftermath of the Twin Towers’ destruction on September 11. In the wake of tragedy, church attendance surged as people sought comfort and guidance. However, as time passed, many reverted to their previous ways. The emphasis on fighting terrorism overshadowed the call to return to God.
When people, whether Jews or Gentiles, earnestly seek God, their circumstances usually improve. This repetitive cycle of sin and redemption has been seen throughout history. Judgment comes when people exceed the boundaries God has set. Although God is patient, allowing nations time to change, persistent backsliding only strengthens their resolve in sinning. As Ecclesiastes 8:11 states, delayed consequences embolden people to persist in evil.
The second coming of Christ will surprise many more than it will delight. The apparent delay in His return feeds skepticism and unbelief. Apostle Peter addresses this in 2 Peter 3:3-4, warning of scoffers who doubt His coming, citing the unchanged state of the world since the beginning of creation.
The methods God uses to judge sinful nations are varied. He might employ natural disasters like floods and plagues, or internal collapse in a nation's infrastructure and economy. Often, He uses other nations as instruments of judgment, as seen with the Babylonians who, despite their own lack of faith, were used to discipline Israel. This added a layer of humiliation for the Israelites, being judged by a pagan nation.
In the end times, no nation will be in a position to judge others, as all will have succumbed to perdition and aligned with the Antichrist. With no righteous nation left to bring judgment, God Himself will intervene. This global downfall sets the stage for Christ’s return, marking the culmination of all nations having crossed the divine line set by God.
