The Coming Of Jesus by Dawinlove(m): 2:02pm On Jul 20, 2022 |
Why the second coming and not the first coming? Luke 1:31And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end Jesus already had his first coming, he came through a virgin to fufil the will of restoring humanity back to God. Jesus was not accepted by his own but rather was crucified. Those who killed him never knew his death was the will of God concerning him and that through his blood man can be cleanse from sin. Jesus endured the shame to fufil the will of his father(Phil 2:5- 8 ) Notice in Luke 1:31 above, we were not told how Christ kingdom will reign forever but only told the purpose of his birth. The sacrifice of Christ life was the price for the good the Father gave to him, this point us to understand that, their is no vision without a price. Jesus had to complete the first process of his assignment by accepting the will of God to die for man sin. Jesus died and rose up on the third day, his resurection was not to stay but to stir up revival among his disciples via his instructions. Jesus in John 21:22 instructed Peter and the other disciples to "tarry till he comes" but they never understood his statement. Where is Jesus going that he would instruct they tarry till he come. They thought the resurrection of Christ was the second coming because in Acts 1:6 they were asking if he would restore the kingdom of Israel, the gathering together before he ascended into heaven was a restoration of the kingdom of Israel to them. Jesus told them, you are not to know the time and season of God's plan for restoration. Your assignment 'disciples' is to witness to unbelievers because only the father knows the time. He then instruct them to tarry in Jerusalem until they are endued with power to carry out the gospel. Eschatology Jesus was taken up in Acts 1:9 and a cloud received him out of the sight of his disciples Acts 1:10 They looked up to see how he was taken up Acts1:11 He shall come in like manner(second coming, when he will restore the kingdom of Israel) Now who are those to see him appear in like manner? This time it is no longer the apostles (they are no longer here) It is not us the privilege Israelite by salvation but the children of Israel. The children of Israel in our current world who do not receive Christ won't be raptured. This include the sinners of other nations. The advantage to Israel is, the remnants of Israel will have the opportunity to be save according to; Rom 11:25-27. 25For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26And so all israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, And shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27For this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins. The remaining people on earth not israelite will not find opportunity to be save anymore. They would be thrown into the lake of fire after seven years on earth, while Israelites seven years experience will be the reign of Anti-Christ for 3 and half years and their discovery of the messiah for the next 3 and half years which will lead to their repentance. The rapture is not the second coming. His second coming is the time he would come and reign on the earth. During the seven year period, God is judging those who raptured, not to throw them in hell but to reward them (Rev 19:7- ![]() Watch out for my next post as I give bible reference and explain further. God bless you |

The second coming of Christ He will return with the cloud Bible reference: Rev 1:7 , Daniel 7:13, May 24:30, Acts 1:11, Mark 3:26, Rev 14:14 The second coming dominion will be given to Christ for a period of one thousand years (Rev 5:10-12). At that time, it would be interest in that we no longer have properties wealth own by nations but everything becomes Jesus. We would have airlines as, Jesus airline, Jesus island etc and you know how it will be to be ruled by Christ, how sweet it is The Rapture This is an event for the bride, the church that are born again, will be caught up to meet with christ. 1 Cor 15:52(the rapture is a dissapearing event that will happen to the saints who endured and stick to Christ law despite the happenings in this wicked world) The rapture is a secret event, in the sense that only those who are saved will see Jesus. On the other hand, the second coming is a public event. John declares that every eye will see Jesus at the second coming. At rapture heaven is a temporal place for seven years for every believer that made it. We all shall return back here on earth to see our rewards. John 14:3. |
