"Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God,..." (1 Cor. 1:1, YLT)

"Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God,..." (2 Cor. 1:1, YLT)

"Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, ..." (Gal. 1:1, YLT)

"Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope," (1 Tim. 1:1, YLT)

Isn't it more probable that our understanding is wrong and that Paul an Apostle called by Christ is right? And, not only are men teaching that Paul was wrong, but that Jesus lied to His disciples. Jesus told those living in the first century AD that was coming back SOON, and if men teach that He has not, then they are anti-Christ.

Speaking to His disciples in Matt. 10:23,

?"for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come." (YLT)

Speaking to the scribes and Pharisees before His crucifixion,

"verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this generation." (Matt. 23:36, YLT)

Speaking to His disciples in the prophesy of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem,

"Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away till all these may come to pass." (Matt. 24:34, YLT)

"A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify [it], having sent through his messenger to his servant John," (Rev. 1:1, YLT)

"And he said to me, `These words [are] stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly: 7 Lo, I come quickly; happy [is] he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.' (Rev. 22:6-7, YLT)

"And he saith to me, `Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh;" (Rev. 22:10, YLT)

"And lo, I come quickly, and my reward [is] with me, to render to each as his work shall be;" (Rev. 22:10, YLT)

"he saith -- who is testifying these things -- `Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!" (Rev. 22:20, YLT)

"Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become many -- whence we know that it is the last hour;" (1 John 2:18, YLT)

Paul told those in Thessalonica that THEY KNEW the time.

"And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you, 2 for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come," (1 Thess. 5:1-2, YLT)

They had been told by Jesus and His apostles what to watch for, and what was it they were watching for? The destruction of that temple in Jerusalem (Matt. 24-25, Mark 14, Luke 21, all of Rev.) The error that has crept into the churches and assemblies of Christ is the misunderstanding of "the end" or "The end of the age", often mistranslated as "the end of the world."

Jesus wasn't telling them to watch for the end of the physical world, but to warn them of the end of that Mosaic age, the end of that animal sacrificial temple in Jerusalem. Those days were the last days of the tribes of Israel (Gen. 49), of the old law, and of the worship at Jerusalem in that old temple. The last times were when Peter told those of that century in which Jesus appeared on earth,

"foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and manifested in the last times because of you," (1 Pet. 1:20, YLT)
