  7. Mar 20, 2019 · Sam Waldron argues that even though Christ’s return is imminent, that doesn’t mean he could return at any moment without certain events happening first. The Bible never teaches that Jesus will come back at any moment.

  8. The imminent return of Christ, however, does not mean it could happen at any moment without any preconditioned fulfillment of prophecies or signs.
