The Second Coming will happen when all humans are least expecting. The only sign left is WW3. Will WW3 be less dramatic than Covid19? We would not want to get too specific and dramatic to give away the point of the actual Second Coming.
But He's not PHYSICALLY here. And He won't show up til the eschatological events occur. And when he does, it'll be in like manner as He departed."The Return of Yeshua in the Year 6,000 From Creation and How Many Years Are Left"
Yeshua is already here we debate all the time. He'll probably show up any minute now.
There is a Muslim Mosque sitting on that spot on the Temple Mount called the Dome of the Rock that is the third most “holy” site in Islam.No, there are several signs showing the general time of Jesus' return which have definitely NOT yet occurred.......
So, the Jews will build a new temple in Jerusalem where the 'beast' will commit the "abomination of desolation", as prophesied by jesus Himself in Matt. 24......
Is the church working to expose Satan, or does Satan have to walk out and introduce himself to the world?No, there are several signs showing the general time of Jesus' return which have definitely NOT yet occurred. I pointed them out in an earlier post. All are from Scripture.
Matt. 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
So we see, from Jesus Himself, that the great trib must occur first. He gave Paul this prophecy, so Paul wrote-2 Thess. 2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
So, the Jews will build a new temple in Jerusalem where the 'beast' will commit the "abomination of desolation", as prophesied by jesus Himself in Matt. 24.
While the exact time of Jesus' return isn't given, nor will be known until it occurs, there are several signs that will show it's imminent. One that's occurring now is the great falling away, with much of the world accepting LGBTQ as the new normal, & the rise of many cults, sects, & false worship.
Researchers from Hebrew University who illegally entered the passages beneath the Dome found that the actual temple site is beside the Dome. But I still don't see a new temple being buiilt there tomorrow!There is a Muslim Mosque sitting on that spot on the Temple Mount called the Dome of the Rock that is the third most “holy” site in Islam.
Hard to see a Jewish temple being built there any time soon.
peace to you
Evidently, you ignored the Scriptures I posted in #22. I believe Scripture over the guesswork of man every time. Your guru has loaded you with wrong ideas.Is the church working to expose Satan, or does Satan have to walk out and introduce himself to the world?
The Apostasy of the church is enough proof for me that Satan is real. Trying to get Satan to step forward may be an entirely different event.
As for the sun and moon being a sign, when that happens it will be too late, to prepare. That is the Second Coming.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place,
This is not a sign of the Second Coming. This is a sign of the end of the world/age. The destruction of the Temple was a sign 40 years after the Cross, the literal end of the OT economy. The building of the Temple is the sign the end of the church age has happened. The church will be complete before the Temple is built.
The church is complete at the Second Coming. The Temple cannot be a sign prior to the event like the destruction of the Temple was not a sign prior to the end of the OT economy. Has any one considered that Jesus Christ will build the Temple He plans to rule from for the next 1000 years? God allows Satan to desecrate His Temple. In what way? It may only be the outer courts.
1 I was given a measuring rod like a stick and told, “Get up, and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count how many people are worshipping there!
2 But the court outside the Temple, leave that out; don’t measure it; because it has been given to the Goyim, and they will trample over the holy city for forty-two months.
If this is the New Temple of God just built in Jerusalem, would not Jesus build it Himself at the Second Coming?
I gave the Scriptures. And your reply is "I doubt those Scriptures"? You did not address them. I pointed out in Matthew that Jesus was answering about the end of the Age, not His Second Coming. His Second Coming is what Jesus claims:Evidently, you ignored the Scriptures I posted in #22. I believe Scripture over the guesswork of man every time. Your guru has loaded you with wrong ideas.
There are DEFINITELY several prophecies yet to be fulfilled before Jesus returns.
No, Scripture plainly says that the beast will come first, and he will sit in the temple of God & claim to be God. That's the AOD.I gave the Scriptures. And your reply is "I doubt those Scriptures"? You did not address them. I pointed out in Matthew that Jesus was answering about the end of the Age, not His Second Coming. His Second Coming is what Jesus claims:
29 “But immediately following the trouble of those times,
the sun will grow dark,
the moon will stop shining,
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the powers in heaven will be shaken.
30 “Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, all the tribes of the Land will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with tremendous power and glory.
All humanity will see both the sign and the Second Coming at the same time. John confirms this in:
12 Then I watched as he broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, the sun turned black as sackcloth worn in mourning, and the full moon became blood-red.
13 The stars fell from heaven to earth just as a fig tree drops its figs when shaken by a strong wind.
14 The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.
15 Then the earth’s kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and the mighty — indeed, everyone, slave and free — hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains,
16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne and from the fury of the Lamb!
Jesus says they will see the Son of Man. John says they hide from the Lamb and the One sitting on the throne. Hiding from the sun and moon is not the point. They are hiding from God Himself.
Paul seconds the truth in Titus 2:13
13 while continuing to expect the blessed fulfillment of our certain hope, which is the appearing of the Sh’khinah of our great God and the appearing of our Deliverer, Yeshua the Messiah.
This is the Second Coming. An unknown timed event that will change the world forever. An event 1991 years in the making.
Well, that’s interesting.Researchers from Hebrew University who illegally entered the passages beneath the Dome found that the actual temple site is beside the Dome. But I still don't see a new temple being buiilt there tomorrow!
I saw it somewhere on the internet a coupla years ago on one of the legitimate news sites-I don't remember which one. But you've likely heard of the illegal exploration by those professors. (Israel has an agreement with several Islamic nations to not allow anyone, Jew or otherwise, to prowl the passages underneath the Dome. The profs "snuck" in; when discovered, they were ordered out, but not arrested.)Well, that’s interesting.
peace to you
