The Return of Christ

1999 Vol. 6: Nov/Dec

A few months ago, a devout Muslim friend in the Middle East lamented about the widespread moral decadence and increasing frequency of calamitous events taking place in the world.

"It seems to me that the world may be coming to an end," he said.

I nodded agreement and replied, "Yes, I believe it is nearing the time when Jesus will come back."

"Oh," he said, "you are right. I also believe the Jesus will return."

My friend was simply reflecting the belief of most Muslims: that Jesus will come back to earth during the "end times."
