2 | second or third coming??? | Titus 2:13 | kalos | 149088 | ||
A second and third coming of Christ? 'Will there be a second and third coming of Christ? 'By Rev. Bill Lee-Warner '"...looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus" 'Titus 2:13 is often used by pretribulationists to show that there is a difference (of time and objective) between what they refer to as "the Rapture" and "the Revelation of Christ." 'The "blessed hope" and the "glorious appearing" are said to be two different events, or in effect, two distinct comings of Christ. For the pretribulationist, the "blessed hope" is seen as the Rapture, when Christ comes (secretly) "for" the saints at the beginning of the 70th Week of Daniel while the "glorious appearing" is seen as Christ's physical return to earth "with" His saints at the end of the 70th week of Daniel, for the final judgment of the world and the setting up of the Millennial Kingdom on earth. 'For the following reasons, this passage in Titus cannot support the notion that there are two comings (parousia) of Christ: one for the saints, the "blessed hope" and one for the world, "the appearing of the glory of... Christ Jesus." (...) [Note: In the full article there are 15 paragraphs here, which have been omitted due to limitations of space. I urge you to go to (http://www.solagroup.org/articles/faqs/faq_0011.html) and read the entire article.] 'For the above reasons, to understand that a difference was intended in Titus 2:13 between "the blessed hope" being the (secret) Rapture of the saints and "the appearing of...Christ Jesus" as the Revelation of Christ at the end of the 70th Week, is to incorrectly understand the verse. Therefore, there is not a distinct second and a third coming, rather one coming, one Parousia at which time God "sum[s] up ... all things in Christ" (Eph. 1:10).' ____________________ http://www.solagroup.org/articles/faqs/faq_0011.html * * * * * * * * * * * * * www.seekfind.org Christian Search Engine The mission of SeekFind.org is to provide God-honoring, Biblically-based, and theologically-sound Christian search engine results in a highly accurate and well-organized format. |

3 | second or third coming??? | Titus 2:13 | kw5kw | 155844 | ||
I think what LIVE4GOD and LSmith are asking is not about the rapture, but is indeed talking about the 1000year reign of Christ. The before and after of the 1000 year reign so mentioned in scripture. Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, This being after the Second comming of our Lord, then... Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. "Reigned with Christ a thousand years", the thousand year millenium reign of Christ after His second comming, then... Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and the final comming (third???) of God and his Judgement. Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever Rev 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. If you look at this one way, the First comming was when Jesus walked the earth 2000 years ago. Second comming, with the rapture and... then binding Satan for 1000 years then the third comming and the final judgement. I'm confused as well Russ |

Hi Russ, Maybe if we don't consider the Final Judgment as another "Coming of Christ"? After all, He will already be here, its heaven and earth that will flee. Love in Christ, Mark |
