One important issue concerning the return of Jesus Christ is that it will take place at a time when no one will be expecting it except His saints who will only recognize the “season”–general time element–of His second advent. This is born out in Luke 21:35 where Jesus compared His second coming to a snare […]
Looking Ahead: The Return of Jesus Christ (cont. 9)
Of those who believe in the return of Jesus Christ to the earth, the question one hears most often concerns the timing of His advent. Even before His death and resurrection people were asking Him about it. Such is the case as recorded in Luke 19:11-27. Here we find Jesus walking along road accompanied by […]
Looking Ahead: The Return of Jesus Christ (cont. 8)
Prior to His death Jesus spoke about those who, following His resurrection, would immediately begin to proclaim that He had already returned to earth. In Matthew 24:5,11,24-25 He warned that false prophets claiming to represent Him would deceive many people with a false message about Him. Some of these self-proclaimed ministers would perform such persuasive […]
Looking Ahead: The Return of Jesus Christ (cont. 7)
As stated in the previous posting, most of the world’s inhabitants do not believe in Jesus Christ. Therefore His return is not a topic of their conversation. Of the two billion plus parishioners who profess Him, not all believe that He will return to earth. Among those who do there is no firm agreement as […]
Looking Ahead: The Return of Jesus Christ (cont. 6)
Most of the world’s population does not believe in Jesus Christ. Of those who do, most believe that He will return to the earth at a future date. Among those who believe in His second advent there is little agreement as to when, where, how and why He will return. Then there are those who […]
Looking Ahead: The Return of Jesus Christ (cont. 5)
World War III will result in the death of one third of mankind (Rev. 9:14-18). This is in addition to the millions who will die due to famine and disease. As a result of this combined devastation the Lord tells us in Isaiah 24:1-6 that He will make the world “empty” and a place of […]
Looking Ahead: The Return of Jesus Christ (cont. 4)
In God’s Word we find that God has given us a number of signs, some of them relative to the second coming of Jesus Christ to this earth. In Matthew 24 we find the Lord’s disciples asking Him about the sign that would warn mankind that He would soon end the world as man has […]
Looking Ahead: The Return of Jesus Christ (cont. 3)
On Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings during my youth I would routinely join my religious counterparts in singing a song which asked the lost soul among us “Why not tonight?” This would follow the inevitable warning from the pulpit that, because Jesus could come before he/she could make it home, should he/she not […]
Looking Ahead: The Return of Jesus Christ (cont. 2)
The United States–the ONE NATION UNDER THE GOD SHE CLAIMS TO TRUST–leads the “Christian world” in a variety of categories, most of them bad. One such category involves the realm of imagination. For “Christian America” and those who follow in her religious footsteps, imagination is the new reality. Imagination allows man to form an image […]
Looking Ahead: The Return of Jesus Christ (cont. 1)
Many in professing Christendom do not believe that Jesus Christ will return to stop man from destroying himself. Many in the world’s churches do not believe in the infallibility of the Holy Bible, but instead view it as an interesting historical book full of discrepancies and contradictions written by men with vivid imaginations. Professing Christendom […]
