The Second Coming

[Overaged]

Perhaps Today

Perhaps at cool of morning when

The day is breaking light

Perhaps at noontide s hour, or

Midst gathering shades of night

I’ll see a burst of glory and

The angel s voice I II hear;

The trumpet’s golden throat will sound

The summons loud and clear!

Then suddenly — I’ll see the Lord!

I’ll meet Him face to face

The Lord of all the universe,

The Lord of truth and grace!

My cup of bliss will overflow;

I’ll see Him as He is!

What joy to place my hand within

That nail-scarred hand of His!

Perhaps today will be the day

I’ll hear His welcomed voice!

Perhaps today I’ll see the Lord

And evermore rejoice!

— Geoqia B. Adams

[Lysimachus]

AMEN!

And it isn't a PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE EITHER!

Jesus coming back ONE TIME, for ALL the Righteous!!

ALL the righteous will be taken STRAIGHT to Heaven, while ALL the wicked will be destroyed by the brightness of His coming.

This earth will be left VOID and DESOLATE during the millennium!

Have you been mislead into the false idea that Jesus could come at anytime? Please read and attempt to understand the prophesies in the book of Revelation as many things must first take place prior to Jesus coming in the clouds at the end when the seventh trumpet blows. The seperation between the sheep and goats must take place (those sealed by God verses those sealed by Satan--it being the Mark of the Beast).

Please understand that Jesus WILL come before these events, but only for the first fruits and 5 wise virgins and that is to seal them prior to the time of trouble (Rev. 3:10) so that the time of trouble will not be a testing time for them. Yes, they go thru the time of trouble, but it's not a test for them because they are the ones who's deeds cause the bride (those found in Rev. 7:9-15) to repent and become rightous during the time of trouble.

However, after the censor is cast down (5th Bowl) the keys to the abyss are given to Satan so that he and the demons (messangers of Satan) can have their spiritual AND physical bodies (at the start of the last five months) in order to torment the wicked who have taken the Mark of the Beast. And no, it has nothing to do with any national sunday law.

There are a lot of very interesting, Biblical points to study regarding the second coming. here are just a few:

D.Christ’s Second Coming

1.The Scriptural Evidence

Closely associated with Christ’s ascension and high-priestly ministry is His coming again. For though He had come to this world to found the kingdom of God and fulfill the true spiritual meaning of the Messianic hope, He stated that the object of His mission would not be fully attained in that first coming. There was to be a break in His visible connection with earthly affairs (Matt. 16:21). He would depart for a time (John 14:19; 16:7), but He promised He would come again to carry on His work to complete fulfillment (John 14:1–3) and bring the kingdom of God to its supreme triumph and glory (Matt. 25:31–46; see Second Coming I. D. 4).

The biblical concept of our Lord’s second coming is expressed by such terms as parousia (“presence,” “arrival,” or “coming”), often of a ruler or king (as in Matt. 24:27, 37, 39; 1 Cor. 15:23; 1 Thess. 2:19; 3:13; James 5:7, 8; 2 Peter 1:16; 3:4); apokalypsis (“disclosure,” “revelation”) in glory (Luke 17:30; 1 Cor. 1:7; 2 Thess. 1:7, 8; 1 Peter 1:13); . epiphaneia (“manifestation” or “appearing”), a term used of Christ’s incarnation (2 Tim. 1:10) and of the Second Coming (2 Thess. 2:8; 1 Tim. 6:14; 2 Tim. 4:1, 8; Titus 2:13).

These terms stress the thought that the Christ, who has now withdrawn to the Father’s presence and is pursuing His high-priestly ministry, will come again in visible glory, unveiling His true nature. The OT “day of the Lord,” modified in reference to Christ as “a day” (Acts 17:31), “that day” (Matt. 7:22; 2 Thess. 1:10; 2 Tim. 1:18; 4:8), “the day of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Cor. 1:8), “the day when the Son of man is revealed” (Luke 17:30), “the day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6) or “of Christ” (verses 10; 2:16), or “the last day” (John 6:39, 40; 12:48), clearly emphasizes that Christ’s return (Matt. 25:31; Mark 8:38; Acts 1:11; 1 Cor. 4:5) is part of God’s expected schedule at the end of time. (See Second Coming I. B.)

I see lots of disinformation here. Lots of cut and past theology too.

Here is the thing: Jesus did NOT come to establish a church or a kingdom of heaven, but He did say that in the future another group (nation) will be the KOH and that is what happened in 1844 as found in Matt. 25:1-13.
