1 | I would like to learn more about this! | Acts 1:11 | dmvd | 79122 | ||
I understand Jesus will return first to take what is his (the church in the rapture) and thereafter, he will come back again in the "Second Coming" (Jesus Return). My question now is, what will really happen on his secon coming? Judgement? War? or the so called Armagedon? Im a bit confused. Some people say he will come with his angels and the church that was lifted in the rapture to fight againts the devil and everyone who opposed his word. I would like to know what will happen in his secon coming? | ||||||

Taleb is so right. I love church history too. From what I remember about the origin of the teaching of the “rapture” it began after some lady had a dream in the 1800’s. Some have told me they believe Jesus made some kind of transition in Matthew 24 from the destruction of Jerusalem in 67-70 A.D. to the second coming 1000’s of years later. But Luke instantly cancels any such notion. Have you ever noticed how they don’t line up? It's important because it proves any "transitional period" can't be. By comparing Matthew 24:17-18 with Luke 17:31. and Matthew 24:26-27 with Luke 17:23-24, and Matthew 24:28 with Luke 17:37 and Matthew 24:37-39 with Luke 17:26-27 and Matthew 24:40-41 with Luke 17:35-36, it sort of puts a huge hole in the “transition” theory. You would have to ignore Luke’s to make a transition of time work. In my Bible Matthew 24:36 “that day” is the same “that day” as Luke 17:31. So it means one period of time rather than 2,000 years of in between. May I suggest you read what Albert Barnes wrote about these things in his excellant volumns of "Notes on the Old and New Testaments." Perhaps your public library, or church has them. Tom |
