when is the 2nd coming of jesus. ??????

[thesaintman]

can you say me it ? rapture then tribulation then 2nd coming?

how long the 2nd coming after the rapture?

 

[Knotical]

After now. That is truly the only true statement that can be made about any of these events.

 

[winepress]

Here is the next event for me

(1Jn 3:2) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

It will be sooner or later depending on how agile we are able to step out of the path of that inevitable logging truck or not hehe!

Then that last thing to be fulfilled happens;

"Death is swallowed up in Victory!" :woot

how long the 2nd coming after the rapture?

There is some pretty good indication that Jesus' return (i.e. the rapture) will happen after the tribulation.

MT 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

MT 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

MT 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

A week from Tuesday.

My comment

Could be before this day is over .... a time that no one can know

Make certain that you are ready

The next event of the tribulation will last for 2550 days .... then He will appear upon the earth

This time lapse can be precisely calculated .... a time that one can know

 

[Willie T]

Yep, BE READY ! (I think you have to have a bag packed, and stop your newspaper delivery.)

 

[IncredibleTransformation]

We don't know but the sooner the better. Just be ready because we don't know the time or the hour.

The Spirit of Christ dwells in your temple. There is no use looking anywhere else.

1 John 3:2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

The Temple from which the Lord Arises in in fact "within" you, right now. Yet, it does not appear "what we shall be." The Lord will come suddenly, IN HIS Temple(s.)

Malachi 3:1
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

In the way of God the Arrival of our King was first in the natural, in the external temple of captivity. The "first messenger(s)" also pointed only to the external "natural" lawlessness. Jesus has already advised, in His first physical appearance, that He will Judge on the Inside, FROM the inside. And much has already been shown by Jesus and the Apostles, in this "internal" regard. Enough for us to know all we need to know.

In the Second Arrival, it will be Spiritual, from within, in full, and we will be "like" Him.

This is our Promise, and our HOPE.

Colossians 1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

God is WILLING to show His Wrath. This is required, and WILL transpire first. The "enemies'' of the temple, INTERNAL, will be DRIVEN OUT and EXPOSED. Not all that differently than the "money changers" who were driven OUT the first time, and the CORRUPT RULERS 'in the temple' at that time, externally exposed for what they were, children of the devil.

These were all external showings of forthcoming "internal" judgments in the "temple."

Looking on the outside will avail no man anything. They will see nothing coming, but will view these things as upon someone else, and not upon themselves, where the "real internal action" WILL transpire, and is transpiring, even now.

 

[Straightshot]

"We don't know but the sooner the better. Just be ready because we don't know the time or the hour"


Yes .... ready .... keep the faith, stay the course

Related scriptures to the Lord's sudden intervention [Matthew 25:1-13; Revelation 3:10; 3:15-19]

Here is the proof of the Lord's immortal church with Him in the heavenly state of existence during the coming tribulation [Revelation 4:4; 5:1-10; 7:9-17; 11:1; 12:12; 13:6; 17:14; 19:1-9; 19:14; 20:4 [those already on thrones .... symbol of the Lord's government]]

Revelation's unfolding is a series of visions by topics which are repeated giving more details about the same

"Looking on the outside will avail no man anything. They will see nothing coming, but will view these things as upon someone else, and not upon themselves, where the "real internal action" WILL transpire, and is transpiring, even now"


Agreed that the believer is a temple of God's

But also understand that He intends to intervene and to bring judgment upon an unbelieving world .... still pending

He also has a temple in heaven, has had two brick and mortar temples on the mount, and will again have the same during His coming millennial kingdom upon the earth

 

[Sinthesis]

The current Temple Mount was built in anticipation of abandoned plans for a pagan roman temple to jupiter. The Jewish temples never stood on today's awkward trapezoidal mount, but were situated on mounts long since destroyed and rebuilt into today's mount.

I can only say WAKE UP. The enemies are in our own temple, and it is from there that they are revealed and driven OUT.

He also has a temple in heaven, has had two brick and mortar temples on the mount, and will again have the same during His coming millennial kingdom upon the earth

Ain't gonna happen. The TEMPLE that returns to earth is this one, right here, and it is comprised of BELIEVERS:

Revelation 3:12
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God,

Don't expect to be seeing any bricks and mortar in Jerusalem.

Revelation 21:2
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Bricks and mortar make me laugh.

 

[Straightshot]

Laugh at this

[Ezekiel 40] .... the Lord's millennial temple

Laugh at this

[Revelation 21] ... at the center of the earth in the Lord's eternal kingdom

.... "as" a bride .... not "a" bride

No one knows when the Lord's next intervention into the affairs of humanity will be

 

[Sparkey]

Part of the song that is written into the heart of one called Sparrow:
(but there is no guarantee that I won't sing a sour note, I have not been trained bu man and this is purely off the cuff-link, or from the hand-cuffs) -- as I am indeed constrained by my current constraints - and more may be revealed, so I'm like those scientists that are very good and codifying stuff through peer-review, but not so good because they stumble around and hit on truth almost accidentally but even a blind chickun, like me, stumbles onto a kernel of corn every once in awhile... right?

Ready? Okay. Here we go:

The 2nd Coming comes after He who is NOT WILLING has been preached into the hearts of all who will hear... and for them to be given a proper chance to hear and act on the truth... then (and only then) that which preserves (the Very Salt of the Earth see Col 4:6) is removed. But even then, there is a remnant left for the space of 3 and 1/2 years... He is, as you know, because you too read about how it is said, "How Long? OH LORD, must we wait?" In the Book of Revealing... How Long? And we are told that He does not delay as men do, but rather, He (our King) is unwilling... that any should perish...

But no man knoweth the hour, not even the Son... No flesh knows the hour. No, not one.

But the First shall be last and the Last shall be first..., and know and see (because you looked with the eyes of faith) that that parable (about first being last etc.) is taught in terms of the laborers that are sent into the field, the very field that is ripe and white and ready for harvest and there will be those who toil all day, but there will be those who remain faithful and ready for the call while others are working, and they may be the lame and the cripple (like me, being a cripply dude, that is, who walks with a cane, but who isn't crippled at all, but who mostly has not been reveled as the champion kid who can climb mountains, that is) or as one who has been touched in the sinew of the thigh by the finger of God, who have had their very walk hindered, so that they walk with a limp like the one who Prevailed-with-God, the God-Fighter, Yakov, himself -- who have the Ladder of Jacob and they may be seen ascending and descending on the Ladder to Heaven (which is Jesus, The Christ himself) -- and they remain faithful to the potential call even as they are passed over again and again and again, and even as they are being transformed from glory, to GLORY to GLORY(!) by the renewal of their minds, by the workings of the Spirit Holy, who is utterly apart from all sin... but it is very true that He who cried to them, whom were given an ear to hear, said that the Last that shall be first! And only at the end will the tares be gather for the flame... and God gives that command to angels, His servants... to gather... at the time of the harvest... and speaking of which, you should put down the copies of Daniel and event the words give to Ezekiel (which are locked up for a time ... but still tantalizing) and turn to the parables that are given for us to hear without hearing, but spoken so very plainly and with such compassion that they have a greater chance of being understood)...

And they (those who are given an ear to hear) are given greater honor, because it is as you have heard and as has been written from thousands of years ago, REJOICE YE BARREN for you are the greater... and Greater things shall ye see than me... Who was given at the time of the Former Rain... Greater is reserved for those who will of the later rain, the very rain, of which we are being watered even now! Yes, even now. Those who have not seen with their eye, but who see by the eye of Faith, who have not touched Jesus in the flesh, like the disciples have, those are the greater. Greater shall be given that what has been seen....

Spoiler: Warning this is a Spoiker, (spoiler)

So if you are a single drop who falls?
Then call, as you fall.
Call to others who fall and know that as you fall,
As you call...
Your call is HEARD in the heavens.
... In the time of the later rain.

And be sure to Then call as you fall...
Bind the truth to others and be bound by Him.
By Him who declares that what we bind here on earth, is bound in heaven
Bind love into the hearts of your brothers and cease from your own works
but begin the works of Our Abba, Father in heaven, begin the work
Of Him who knits us together in the womb, not the worm... but the womb!
For it is His job to rightly knit us together,
Us the adopted, rightly joined, into His family... and it is for us to know that we are called into that holy place,
Where we may be one in Him even as He is one with the Father, our God.​

​

Look to Him, turn your eyes to Him and make His heart flutter, so that He may be your Roe, Bounding on the Mountain Tops, for He can not resist... Nor will He rest, until He is done with all He has been given to do... He works in us, even now....

He will come for me, for thee... He comes as we call... and we may hasten the day of His coming.. by our adoring eye, turned lovingly as we cease from our labors and begin to set our hand to the plow as the Spirit leads, but do not turn back, having set your hand, for all that do so? It's not our works. It's not us working, but all things that endure are done from the beginning. Are you unworthy of Him... Have you set your hand, but then withdrawn? but even if you do backslide? (And I'm telling you do NOT do that) but even if you do? Then you may still turn your eyes to Him, the King of kings, for He is the Good Physician who is sent to the sick, and He is your Shepherd who leaves the 99 for the one... be the One that He loves, but do note that we are to become more and more like Him who sticks closer than a brother and who has promised, "I will never leave nor forsake you."​

Come Lord Jesus, come. Call my your bride, that I may call you my ISHI and no longer my Baali. Take me and catch me to the Valley of Achor, to the place of my shame, and exchange your up-rightness with me, for I want to accept your deal, I want to be the one whom you, as my kinsman redeemer, You redeems, be my your Ruth, your Revkah, the one who waters camels until they thirst no more.

Come, for the Spirit saith come, the Bridegroom saith, come... the friend of the Bridegroom whom some now say is John the Baptist, but who is filled with the Spirit of Elijah, whom You mentioned, and the Bride also saith come... and maybe? Just maybe the bridesmaid, whom I hope to become part of, whom is also a friend born for the day of adversity, born for the day of the shortness of bread... who hears and who says, and who is the little sister, and who may be a door, or may be a wall... she whom I wanna-be... says, "Come soon, Lord, ISHI! You are no longer Lord Baali to me."

Come!


Bonus question: What does it mean about how Boaz was Naomi and Ruth's kinsman-redeemer? :nod

Who is the Friend of the Bridegroom if it isn't just John, the Baptizer and if he is still, as the Jews believe, yet to come and signal the coming of the Messiah? What will he say? Will he say, "Make straight the paths," as one calling in the wilderness? Or will he sing a new song, one that has never been heard before? What will the sound of that song be? Tell me, if you know... Tell me, please. I adjure you.

I feel the symptoms of Low Blood Sugar. I need to eat.

So, "Toodle-oo...", which is an informal, dated, greeting, just like me!
