The Bible teaches that no one knows the exact time of Christ's return, and it will be preceded by significant events, including a falling away from the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:3).
The New Testament, particularly in 2 Thessalonians 2, addresses the second coming of Christ and the need for believers to be aware of the signs preceding this event. The Apostle Paul emphasizes that before the return of Christ, two significant occurrences must happen: first, there will be a falling away from the faith, depicting a departure from sound doctrine and the truth of Christ. This falling away has been witnessed throughout history as many professing Christians turn to teachings that deviate from the gospel, promoting a message based on human effort rather than the grace of God as revealed in Jesus Christ. Therefore, Christians are encouraged to remain steadfast in their understanding of the gospel and vigilant against these deceptions.
