1 | Where does Jesus return to? | Matt 24:27 | Loran James | 155244 | ||
Since Jesus absolutely must return at a point in the future, where exactly does Bible prophecy say that He must return to? What location? |

Hi, Loran James! Most likely Israel... but that would be from our perspective... as we know Jesus is God and God is Omnipresent... in the Scriptural passage of Matthew 24, it tells us that He will be seen by all... In Revelation 1:7, it deepens that understanding as it tells us that even those who pierced Him will see Him... since Jesus is bringing the final change onto the world (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17); all will be changed and all will be witnessed to His Second Coming because He will no longer come as the Lamb of God... but as Israel's Lion, God's Justice and Wrath! Still, the when and where is not important... Jesus was never concerned about it... but He stated, "when the Son of man comes, will He find faith on earth?" (paraphrased: Luke 18:8)... God's concern is that we are found in His fellowship. (1 Thessalonians 5:1-24) God Bless! Angel |

It is important to my study that this question be answered with exact specificity. I believe the Bible is pointing at the Mount of Olives as the specific point of return. I need any kind of confirming information (or contradictory information if it exists) to verify this as an unchallengable Biblical teaching. Loran |

Hi, Loran! I understand your concern for specificity... there's nothing than having a clear dotted line about where all should be... but I believe you are missing the point of the Second Coming... Jesus as the Lamb of God came to the people of Israel and it was very difinite because He came to fulfill the Promise of the Anointed One... still as He clarifies to the Samaritan woman, the Kingdom of God is at hand and those who worship Yahweh will worship in Spirit and Truth... the temples on the mountains and other places, gone! The Temple in Jerusalem, gone! On His Second Coming, Jesus is no longer obliged to come to those who are descendants of Abraham by blood... He is coming to all whom He has bought by the shedding of His Blood... When He comes all will see Him even those who pierced Him and all will know of His Coming! (Revelation 1:7) To limit Jesus Second Coming to a specified people or place can only limit His Omnipotence and Omnipresence! It would also make Mount of Olives the most densely populated geographical location in the world since, according to Paul (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17), all who are in Christ will meet Him... that could also suggest a massive exile from all nations in the world whenever scholars decide that the Second Coming is eminent (which brings us to the fact that since no one knows the exact hour and day when the Second Coming will take place the exiles will be chaotic as people will, undoubtedly, be traveling back and forth to the "spot" of His arrival! God Bless! |

5 | Where does Jesus return to? | Matt 24:27 | Loran James | 155405 | ||
Thank you for replying. Allow me to be more precise. I require a documented, justifiable inventory of Biblical evidence that proves the following point: Jesus must return to the Mount of Olives at a yet to be determined time in the future. The point of this requirement is to verify whether or not the Mount of Olives is a fixed point of reference. By saying fixed point of reference I mean that the Mount of Olives, a singularly unique one of a kind geographic location, has a Biblical guarantee of future existence. In other words since Jesus must return to the Mount of Olives in the future, obviously the Mount of Olives MUST exist in the future as well. That becomes a prophetic requirement for God to ensure and as such forms the basis of a Biblical proof that transcends the limitations of proof texts, argument and Biblical translations from copies of manuscripts that cannot be verified or authenticated. |

Hi Loran, Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. This passage speaks of the Day of the Lord, that time of judgment of the earth characturized by total upheaval, cataclysmic devastation, and the destruction of the world system. This has not happened yet, so must be future. In that day, the LORD will stand on the Mount of Olives. This seems clear to me that yes, the Mount of Olives will exist at that time. All of the locations spoken of in these end times prophecies will exist. The Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, the Plain of Jezreel, Megiddo, Bozrah, it will all be there. Bozrah, of course, is no longer called that, but the location exists, as Busayra, Jordan. There are a couple of other passages that could be used to refer to this, but not beyond what has already been offered to you. One clear statement in scripture seems adequate to me to establish a Biblical truth. Are you looking for something beyond this? Where are you going with this? Love in Christ, Mark |

Thank you for your reply. It now seems to me to be adequately documented that indeed the Mount of Olives must exist in the future according to the Bible. I am not looking for anything beyond this as you asked, however it's obvious that more questions need to be addressed about the implications of the fact that the Bible guarantees that a certain place on earth is indestructible in the present since it HAS TO exist in the future. Think about it. Loran |
