SECOND COMING.... happened already!?!

in religion •  8 years ago 

SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so "Hold fast till i come"... NOT ...“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! ...those that deny the second coming of Christ in that first generation are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ( 2Peter 2:1-2 ;2Tim 4:8)……. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.

The following quote from Bertrand Russell:is often quoted by Atheist et al and from his published work “Why I Am Not A Christian”
Defects in Christ's Teaching
Having granted the excellence of these maxims, I come to certain points in which I do not believe that one can grant either the superlative wisdom or the superlative goodness of Christ as depicted in the Gospels; and here I may say that one is not concerned with the historical question. Historically it is quite doubtful whether Christ ever existed at all, and if He did we do not know anything about him, so that I am not concerned with the historical question, which is a very difficult one. I am concerned with Christ as He appears in the Gospels, taking the Gospel narrative as it stands, and there one does find some things that do not seem to be very wise. For one thing, he certainly thought that His second coming would occur in clouds of glory before the death of all the people who were living at that time. There are a great many texts that prove that. He says, for instance, "Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel till the Son of Man be come." Then he says, "There are some standing here which shall not taste death till the Son of Man comes into His kingdom"; and there are a lot of places where it is quite clear that He believed that His second coming would happen during the lifetime of many then living. That was the belief of His earlier followers, and it was the basis of a good deal of His moral teaching. When He said, "Take no thought for the morrow," and things of that sort, it was very largely because He thought that the second coming was going to be very soon, and that all ordinary mundane affairs did not count. I have, as a matter of fact, known some Christians who did believe that the second coming was imminent. I knew a parson who frightened his congregation terribly by telling them that the second coming was very imminent indeed, but they were much consoled when they found that he was planting trees in his garden. The early Christians did really believe it, and they did abstain from such things as planting trees in their gardens, because they did accept from Christ the belief that the second coming was imminent. In that respect, clearly He was not so wise as some other people have been, and He was certainly not superlatively wise.

Gal 1: 8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

The book of Revelation offers us an interesting Theological dilemma. It states Rev 22:16. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. Revelation also states it is “the true sayings” of Jesus and that it is “the testimony of Christ”. If this is not “the gospel of Jesus Christ” then what is it and should we consider it accursed testimony of an angel? If it is not to be considered accursed, then it cannot be some other gospel message then what was already given previously. However, this is the conundrum, for if this is the gospel message, then why do so few understand it? There is a possibility which few consider but is the overall thesis of this apology. The reason people don’t understand revelation is because they never understood what the gospel message was in the first place! In that case, where does that put those who claim it is not essential for salvation? Do you not find it quite curious that the most "Personally" given NT book By Jesus himself, is the least understood and given the least importance for Salvation in Christendom?....There are numerous preachers and bible exegetes but as Paul said “… I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge” . Most who profess the name of Christ are feeding on doctrines of devils and the ignorant.. There are, without question, many “qualified” teachers and scholars with many years of “dedication” and “solid education”. However, teachers, no matter how well lettered or numbered in degrees; if obtained from others; who are just as equally ignorant in such matters, are just “ blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”..................

YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE GOSPEL IS…

The idea that 1 cor 15:1-4 is "the gospel in a nutshell" demonstrates what Peter said about the woefully and or willfully ignorant and what they do with Paul's doctrine, writings and the scriptures.
2Peter 3:15. … even as our beloved brother PAUL … 16. As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which THEY THAT ARE UNLEARNED AND UNSTABLE WREST, as they do also the other scriptures, UNTO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION.

Jesus went around for about 3.5 years preaching the gospel and hardly ever mentioned his death burial and resurrection and NEVER “Made known” (mentioned) his death burial and resurrection until much latter after the gospel was being preached…because death burial and resurrection were the sign that the gospel he was preaching was true and Jesus was not PREACHING Death burial and resurrection...

Mat 4: 23. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, (MK 1:1 & 14)

(1) Jesus NEVER "mentions" his death burial and resurrection until much latter AFTER THE GOSPEL had been preached so how is death burial and resurrection the gospel??? ..Even in Jn 2:18-19 Jesus did not “Make known” /MENTION his death burial and resurrection until much latter after the gospel was being preached.........Jesus did MENTION a temple in Jn 2:18-19) he did not "mention" a death or resurrection.....So, in this case "to mention" implies "to make known" or relay knowable information not coded language that no one can understand until after the fact....as opposed to Mat 16:21. FROM THAT TIME FORTH BEGAN JESUS (Mark 8:29-31) to SHEW unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day...............look here:

(2) death burial and resurrection of Jesus was ONLY THE SIGN that the gospel message that Christ preached was true

FIRST: Jesus only gives as a SIGN a temple and Jonas …no mention of death and resurrection it is only understood as such after the event.

John 2:18…..WHAT SIGN sign shewest thou unto us,… Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

…..and again here

Mat 12:39. … and there shall no sign be given to it, BUT THE SIGN of the prophet Jonas: 40. …so shall THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH. (Lk 11:29)

LATTER: JESUS MENTIONS (makes known) his death & resurrection

Mat 16:21. FROM THAT TIME FORTH BEGAN JESUS to SHEW (Mark 8:29-31) unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day...............look here:

The death and resurrection is ONLY referenced (in code) as A SIGN that the gospel Jesus was preaching/ explaining was true…JESUS WAS NOT PREACHING (explaining about) death and resurrection! Jesus ONLY begins talking/make known his death burial and resurrection LONG after he had been preaching the gospel so how can death burial and resurrection be the gospel if it was never mentioned when the gospel was FIRST PREACHED?!? (MK 1:1 & 14)

Paul, first begins mentioning THE GOSPEL specifically by name in Ch 1 NOT CH 15 !?!

1Cor 1:6. Even as THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST (the GOSPEL) ….. 7. … WAITING FOR THE COMING OF OUR LORD …….the rest of Ch 15 all speaks to the coming of Christ NOT the death burial and resurrection which was ONLY a sign!?!? Latter when Paul gets to CH 15 most of what is in that chapter is focused the gospel message on the 2nd coming NOT the cross or death burial and resurrection which was the only sign given to validate that gospel which is why Paul mentioned it first because it validated everything that came afterward...when you approach a city the sign is what validates your on your way and is the first thing you see but only a fool would consider the sign the city!?!?

Paul makes clear what the Gosple he preaches is..........

2 Thess 2:1. Now WE BESEECH YOU, (preach/teach/ encourage you) brethren, BY THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST (by the GOSPEL) AND BY OUR GATHERING TOGETHER UNTO HIM, (NOTE: 1Cor 15 is predominantly about this NOT death burial and resurrection!?!)……. … 14. Whereunto he called you BY OUR GOSPEL …………………..because the coming is the gospel

2Thess 3:5. And the Lord DIRECT YOUR HEARTS into the love of God, AND INTO THE PATIENT WAITING FOR CHRIST...........................Also take note of the fact that What Christ first preached when he preached the gospel was about repentance because the kingdom was at hand and God/he was going to reward his servants but punish the wicked.....THIS coming was the Gospel message and his death and resurrection validated that everyone should belive in his Gospel ......

AND HERE IS WHY

....its destruction is so important to Daniel and putting a end of sin the blood of the NT covenant could not be offered not the temple in heaven until the first temple of the first covenant was destroyed

The new covenant is what is being CONSUMMATED in DAN and THAT WHICH IS PERFECT that was coming. this is why it reads:

Dan 9: 24. SEVENTY WEEKS ARE DETERMINED upon thy people and upon thy holy city, TO FINISH THE TRANSGRESSION, and to MAKE AN END OF SINS, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. …….26. the prince that shall come shall …………

(A)….. DESTROY THE CITY AND THE SANCTUARY (AD70) and THE END THEREOF SHALL BE WITH A FLOOD …

(B) …UNTO THE END OF THE WAR DESOLATIONS ARE DETERMINED. 27. And he shall CONFIRM THE COVENANT WITH MANY FOR ONE WEEK: and

(A) …IN THE MIDST OF THE WEEK (AD 70) HE SHALL CAUSE THE SACRIFICE AND THE OBLATION TO CEASE……he shall

(B) …MAKE IT DESOLATE, EVEN UNTIL THE CONSUMMATION, ( 1 Cor 13:10. But when THAT WHICH IS PERFECT IS COME)

Mat 5:1818. For verily I say unto you, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE LAW, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.

Heb 9:8. The Holy Ghost this signifying, that THE WAY INTO THE HOLIEST OF ALL WAS NOT YET MADE MANIFEST, WHILE AS THE FIRST TABERNACLE WAS YET STANDING:…… .28. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him SHALL HE APPEAR THE SECOND TIME WITHOUT SIN UNTO SALVATION.

Sacrifice and offering do not cease until THE WAR (of AD70) ac when the first temple ( temple under the first covenant) is destroyed
........this war is also THE FLOOD refereed to in Mat 24:39 et al.

THIS IS WHY NO ONES SINS WERE BLOTTED OUT UNTIL THE WAR OF AD 70 .......

Acts 3:19. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED out, WHEN (Heb 9:8; Luke 21:28; 1Peter 1:5) THE TIMES OF REFRESHING SHALL COME FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD. 20. And HE SHALL SEND JESUS Christ, WHICH BEFORE WAS PREACHED unto you: 21. Whom the heaven must receive UNTIL THE TIMES OF RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS, (Acts 1: 6-7; Luke 21:31) WHICH GOD HATH SPOKEN BY THE MOUTH OF ALL HIS HOLY PROPHETS SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN.

........WHICH WAS CHRIST 2ND AND LAST COMING AND WAS ALSO "THE CONSUMMATION" OF THE NEW COVENANT (AKA THAT WHICH IS PERFECT IS COME")

1Peter 1:5 unto SALVATION READY TO BE REVEALED IN THE LAST TIME; (1 John 2:17-18: 1 Peter 1:5 & ch4:5,7,17) 7...AT THE APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST:; …LK 21:28 et al

.....AS WELL AS THE REDEMPTION THAT CHRIST PROMISED TO COME WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM

LK 21:28 20. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, ….. 22. For these be the days of vengeance, that ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN MAY BE FULFILLED.…………. 27. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up YOUR HEADS; FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH. ….. 32. Verily I say unto you, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS AWAY, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.

SECOND COMING Thou Fool! “I come quickly” so "Hold fast till i come"... NOT ...“in another 2000 yrs I might be coming soon any time now, so hold fast”!?! ...those that deny the second coming of Christ in that first generation are practicing a damnable heresy in denying the lord that bought them ……. If I said I am coming to your house in this generation when these things happen but no one knows the day or hour what fool would think I might be coming in 2000 years latter!?!? ..2 Tim 4: 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be TURNED UNTO FABLES.

Even in the OT the destruction of the temple and Jerusalam was said when the coming of the Lord would be to judge the world and put an end to sin et al…..

The Gospel message is the coming of Christ in judgment on the world JUST LIKE JESUS WAS and NOT the death burial and resurrection! Pauls’ comments of the gospel is not confined to verses 1-4 just because someone arbitrarily decided so!?!. Any one who preaches or teaches you that Death burial and resurrection is the gospel is either a ignorant unlearned, a fool or just a outright liar!!

………………………..The gospel of the kingdom is NOT death burial and resurrection!?!.....However, the sign ( of the gospel which is death burial and resurrection Mat 12:38-40 ) is part of the city (gospel) and the sign belongs to the city (gospel) just like the sign of the gospel is part of the gospel but it is not the Gospel itself any more then any other sign is the city you are going to Nor is the sign the focus point of the journey unless your outside the city!?!?.this is why 1Cor 15 1-4 Paul states first but then goes on and spends the rest of that same chapter 15 talking about the gospel and same things he started speaking on back in CH 1:6!........Most folks do not understand the redemption message of the cross at all!?!............Redemption was NOT completed at the cross, Acts 3:19/Heb9:8 & Luke 21:28…( the cross was only the purchase price not the Redemption date)...............Just like in real-estate (Eph 1:14 et al) you put up the purchase price first and latter there is a redemption..........His coming is the gospel. 2Thess 2:1 Mat 24:14;Acts 20:25;2Tim 4:8 et al….

THEY DID NOT CRUCIFY HIM BECAUSE HE WAS PREACHING ABOUT THEM TO LIVE GOOD MORAL LIVES OR THAT HE CLAIMED TO DIE AND RISE ON THE THIRD DAY, THEY CRUCIFIED HIM WHEN HE TOLD THEM ABOUT HIS RETURN coming on the clouds MAT 26:64 (THAT IS THE GOSPEL CHRIST DIED FOR).......You cant love or keep the words of Christ much less preach the gospel of the kingdom when you either don’t know what it is and or deny its meaning (John 14:23 et al) the context is his second coming. The Pharisees could quote scripture and the did not deny what Moses and the prophets wrote they only denied the meaning and purpose and Christ coming his first and second......Mat 10:33;

……….so many like to cherry pick Ch 15:verse 1-4 while ignoring the context of that very book and the rest of that very chapter and the very author you cite to make your case

Way too many "Christians" living out Prov 26:12 professing to be ministers elders et al preaching and teaching the gospel of Christ when you do NOT even know what the Gospel of Christ IS!?!

2Thess 2:11...................Most of you have absolutely no Idea what the gospel really is about what it teaches and as such have no business whatsoever trying to teach or preach when you do not even know what the gospel message is and or you deny it (2Tim 3:5/rom 1;16; 2Peter 2;1; Titus 1:16).

The book of Revelation offers us an interesting Theological dilemma. It states Rev 22:16. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. Revelation also states it is “the true sayings” of Jesus and that it is “the testimony of Christ”. If this is not “the gospel of Jesus Christ” then what is it and should we consider it accursed testimony of an angel? If it is not to be considered accursed, then it cannot be some other gospel message then what was already given previously. However, this is the conundrum, for if this is the gospel message, then why do so few understand it? There is a possibility which few consider but is the overall thesis of this apology. The reason people don’t understand revelation is because they never understood what the gospel message was in the first place! In that case, where does that put those who claim it is not essential for salvation? Do you not find it quite curious that the most "Personally" given NT book By Jesus himself, is the least understood and given the least importance for Salvation in Christendom?....There are numerous preachers and bible exegetes but as Paul said “… I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge” .

There are, without question, many “qualified” teachers and scholars with many years of “dedication” and “solid education”. However, teachers, no matter how well lettered or numbered in degrees; if obtained from others; who are just as equally ignorant in such matters, are just “ blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.”..................

If you ask most people what the Good news or Gospel is they will probably tell you about the virgin birth or Christ death burial and resurrection. This would be rather humorous if it was not so sad considering that for the three and half years of Christ ministry he does not mention it very many times at all. However, Christ does spend a lot of time preaching out of the OT scriptures. Which is doubly ironic since it is from the OT scriptures that the word Gospel or Good news comes from…and the context has very little directly to do with death burial and resurrection…......................NEVER MIND 1 Cor 15:1-4..... BETTER Consider 2Cor 4: 3. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them…….People better wake up!?!

DAY OF THE LORD”/ YEAR OF THE LORD - does NOT last for 24 hours!?!..Also means the day of resurrection & judgment do not last for one hour or one day either! They only being (NOT END) in a certain hour & on a certain 24 hour day ...."SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to arise".....NOT.."come & get (your new resurrected body) it while it is still hot, only 24 hours of solar power left"!?!.........The resurrection and the judgment for all of mankind all began with the war of AD70 for everyone and we have been living in that day of the Lord "the judgment" now for almost 2000 years. To add insult to injury as the saying Goes you have no excuse for even the very secular term A.D. as in 2015AD means "in "the year of our Lord" which is one of the designation for the day of the lord because it ONLY BEGINS on a certain day and a certain year it was never promised to end within 24 hours or the same year.....the last day refers to both the day of the lord which does not last for only one day as well as the very 24hour day that the last day day of the Lord/year of the Lord began!?!..........................
