As the kilometres pass and hours of travel blur into what seems like a never-ending journey, children typically ask that most pressing of travel questions, “Are we there yet?” Every parent knows this scenario, and in response, we try to distract them or entertain them or assure them of the great blessings they’ll receive when the ‘ordeal’ is over.

As Bible-believing Christians, we too wonder when the journey will be over, when all the prophecies of Scripture concerning the end times will be fulfilled, and we can experience the great blessings of Messiah’s return.
