A second group of christians do not believe Messiah Yeshua can return for a long time. They live in the world and trying to make their fame and fortune while ridiculing those who believe Yeshua will return within their lifetimes.
A third group of Christians are watching for Messiah's imminent return while occupying / doing what Yahweh has them doing in case Yeshua's return is not as close as they hope.
Messiah Yeshua said the road is very narrow and few find it. Many whore after false prophets that tickle their ears and others act like they are children of the devil trying to make fame and fortune and hope Yeshua does not return for a long time while they are enjoying their lives. There are wolves on both sides of the narrow road.
Matthew 7
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Is it no wonder Yeshua will tell many who claim to be "doing things for Him" to 'Go away, I never knew you'. These people want Messiah Yeshua to save them from hell but they refuse to obey Yahweh's instructions or are not even looking for Messiah Yeshua to return any time soon. They are not on the narrow road even though they believe they are.
Matthew 7Note that the evil servants spoke of below are called servants, not unbelievers. It is clear many who believe they are Christians and going to heaven are deceived and will be rejected by Messiah for their disobedience.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 24
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
