The practical local church must be therefore a place where the co-workers are planting and growing Christ within men and women.
The normal church life must be a FARM of the cultivation and growing of the life of this Person Christ within her constituents.
Right here in First Corinthians -
"I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth.
So then neither is he who plants anything nor he who waters, but God who causes the growth.
Now he who plants and he who waters are one, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor,
For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's cultivated land [or farm] God's building." (First Cor. 3:6-9)
If we want Christ to hasten His return, we have to GROW.
We have to let Him grow in us.
And we have to plant and water this divine life seed in others that He grow in them also.
Do we play enough attention to this? Or are most of the Christians wanting Jesus to return pre-occupied with outward signs concerning temples and things of that nature?
What about the living temple of the new covenant community? What about Christ growing that a Harvest may soon be reaped by Him?

Is that what you told jaywill?
Then you're just as imbecilic today as you were months ago if not years.
It will also bring us closer to "2017 XQ60", the foretold eight day warning sign due on December 21, 2018 A.D.

That might buy you a medium cappuccino. (An estimate, not a prediction).

What angel was sent ahead of Jesus' first advent? Are you talking about Gabriel?
This second half of your sentence does not logically follow the first. First, Jesus is Lord and doesn't require entitlement. Second, Jesus' return isn't the fulfillment of "so that where I am, so also you may be."
John 14:3

Those questions are answered in the material at hand.

Time to catch the express train to Sleepytown. Choo, Choo, Choo.
Get in your jammies, brush your chompers and I’ll read you another chapter from the Encyclopedia of Ale.
And Bronwen will be in to kiss you goodnight, but she said only a peck and no tongue this time - eight-year-old boys shouldn’t be French kissing!

Or are you simply going to attribute anything that happens in the world on that day as a vindication of your prediction? (Say, an earthquake or global shortage of celery).
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeYou might be right. I'm stocking up on celery.
