The number of gods recognized around the world and recorded in world history are in the hundreds. The number of religions, current and past, centered on these gods, is in the thousands. But since this Christian website has been dedicated to the Only One True GOD YHWH - I don't see the connection to the many other false gods. Which YHWH has said is false gods and idol worship.
Jesus Christ must come back because of the present position of Satan. The devil is the most powerful being in all the world, except for GOD Himself. The Bible says that the devil is called "the god of this world."(2Corinthians 4:4)
That means that he's the director of the false religions and philosophies of the world.
There is One who is more powerful than Satan is. This One defeated Satan 2,000 years ago on the cross. Satan suffered his greatest defeat at the cross and in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But the devil is still loose, still in charge of the evil that is in the world: All the injustices, all the wars, all the crime, all the wickedness, all the terrible things, in the world.
There's only One Person in heaven or on earth who can deal with the devil, and He's coming back to throw Satan into the bottomless pit and ultimately into the lake of fire. Then we will be freed from this terrible pull of evil and the satanic power that has controlled the hearts of people for all these centuries.
Jesus Christ will return because of the present chaos in the world--our world is racked with pain, suffering, hunger, war, murder, lust, greed, hate, fraud, corruption. Human governments seems to be unsuccessful in dealing with these problems. The world is becoming more and more helpless and hopeless in this technological age. Many sociologists and scientists believe we have the capability to destroy ourselves. And we can.
But the Scripture says "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your GOD will come with vengeance, even GOD with a recompense; He will come and save you."(Isaiah 35:4)
Jesus Christ will save us and set up His Kingdom of righteousness and glory and peace and justice. And what a world that's going to be! Will you be ready?
ACTS 4:12-
"And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." The Name Of Jesus the Christ!
