Could You Recognize Christ if He Did Return

[Jake99]

Scripture can be seen in many ways, what makes you so sure it is the way you see it? You have no evidence that an actual crucifiction of christ ever took place and beatings, death and resurrection can be done without bloodshed. The bloody robe and wounds of christ could be theoretical. How else could you not see him or find proof of what is written? Many people ignored Jesus when the so called madman walked the earth. The lord works in strange ways.

 

[The First Witness]

If, you go into a boostore and they are everywhere;
If, they are on TV almost weekly,
If, you could view their cloths on all major continents,
If , they were presented with tens of awards,
If, there has been about 300 books written on them,
If, you did a google search for them and got over 11 million hits,
If, you could view their posters and shrines.
If, you can buy their essence,
If, they are the greatest and best loved spirits that have ever lived,
If, they are indeed everywhere

Then,"and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." ( including those that pierced Him and all the kindreds of the earth will WAIL (YELL and SCREEM) because of HIM.

Then, " As the lighning flashes across th e sky and lights it up from one side to the other , so will the son of Man be in His day

Then, perhaps they are like lighning and they have come with great power and glory.



Proverbs 9-10 "If you know see the Holly one you have understanding"

Then, after you see the Holly one you will wail.

First Witness,

If South Africa is an example of the peace and prosperity Nelson brings to town please keep it there. Poverty, crime, protests and the list goes on and on. Not that the rest of the world is anything to brag about but S. Africa is living in the dark ages and you are expecting to be taken into the light. Systematic change is more than just a leader its a totally different system, just like the one the bible recommends. Hardly a job for an attorney.

 

[The First Witness]

History does and will repeat itself.

It's a puzzle that takes wisdom and understanding to assemble.
All the pieces do interlock. Just looking at one piece does not invalidate that complete picture.

The fig tree is ripe, we are that generation, the sea and the waves are indeed roaring.

All the actors are here in place. They have been here on their global stage for the duration of the play. We have seen them all. It would hardly be fair to watch and study a really good murder mystery for years and years and then have all the " unseen and unknown people ( they would not even have to be good actors)" show up out of the clouds just as the curtain is being lowered...why even bother to pay attention...in this scenario no one would wail no one would even applaud.

This script was written long ago. It was designed to be a surprise, to make us watch, pay attention and wail.

Therefore, all the actors must be present on the global stage now. We must have seen them many, many times. The more the better!

 

[Jake99]

The actors are on the stage but you are way off in who they are. The messiah does not seek to be president and he wins every time against all odds walking alone. You picked a bunch of losers because it is the best you have seen. They spent years making a mess and resolving nothing. I hear S. Africa just took all the white mens farms by force, hardly sounds like brotherhood or an efficient system to me. You can only see the messiah if you wake up and hear his call to you.
