His return? Some questions.
lilitalienboi16:
Hey guys, i got a question.
After learning many spiritual truths, and i know im no where near the end, just scratching the Tip of the iceberg here ive become slightly confused.
All my days i was taught Jesus would come a second time.
The more and more i read revalations (Which is what i used to Justify His second coming to earth) the more i realize its completely spiritual and has to do with us, His followers. The more i study the more i realize JESUS IS BACK, except He is back in us. As He is, so are we in the world.
So my question is, Is Jesus gonna come back to this fleshy world?
That would bring me to my next question.
I was always taught that when Jesus returns to this Fleshy earth that He would sound a physical trumpet and we would arise from the graves, and those that didn't die would be caught up in the heavens with Him, and He would start His reign on earth. Now like i've said this has become less and less the truth for me the more i learn the fruits of the spirit. So if this isn't the case, when exactly do we rise to our inheritence at the end of days, if Jesus isn't really coming back to this fleshy earth at all?
Thanks for any help and answers in advanced,
God bless,
Alex

Good question, Alex.
We have been taught so many lies. Now that the blinders are coming off, we see many beliefs are not true. So, what about this grand second coming they preach about.
His Spirit is in us now and His kingdom is not of this world. Kind of has me stumped a little also. Another question that goes along with this is the Thousand year reign. Is this symbolic of something other that a literal rule on this earth?
God bless,

The world will end though. most likely in the next 100 years. I really do not see us going on for another 200 hundred years but we might, if it is God will. Human nature and technological growth demand it.

Alex,
You will get a variety of responses, this is one of those things you need to search out. Don't assume that what He teaches you (as he does) in accordance with His words will resound back to you in everyone.
At this point where you are is a good place. Questions come because you doubt in yourself asking, "what do these things mean"? Its the interpretation given by others you heard on these things you are questioning. Thats good let Him show you. He has the ability to "convince" or not to convince you of something. That why its best to trust whats "in you" is either affirming or not affirming. We all have that in us.
Where is the word "reign". Whats a "thousand years" likened to? Whats His definition of rule? Why don't the apostles sound like todays teachers? What are we waiting for? Hoping for? Desiring? What would it "look like" if it appeared? I ask myself these questions all the time. Did the religious in Christs time in the flesh misunderstand by their own wisdom? A scribe is one of those of whom is considered "the wisdom of this world" thats foolishness to Him. THE Teachers of the time (and THAT of the book). Did they know the scriptures? No but they shared from them. What is it to know the scriptures and the "power of God"? Whats the difference? Is there one? See? These are honest and respectable questions.
Who else can reveal the Father but The Son? Thats our hope, to "know Him". We need a direction, our hearts into His love. He is so able to teach us. Be confident in "that".
I like what Jesus says here, always blessed me.
Mark 4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.[/u]
This one always got me to bend my ear and listen to how something was worded and what He was trying to say. Praying all the while He help me asking for His holy Spirit to guide me always in His ways.
I'll pray for your understanding. At this point it might appear as "guess work" and differences of opinion sometimes breed other things. Familiarize yourself with these things and write down (or remember) the first question that arises in you when you cant connect the dots. Thats good. When it starts to look like a grocery list of weird time tables, God help you :lol: Nah trust Him always
Peace
Daniel
