Bible Question: is Christ coming back more than once |
Bible Answer: I think it helps, when the Bible speaks of the second coming of the Lord, in the future, to know that the word translated, “comingâ€, in the English is take from the word, “PAROUSIA†of the Koina Greek. The word “PAROUSIA†isn’t a verb, as most would assume, but a noun. Just at the Lord’s “first coming†was an event that lasted over 33 years so His second coming will be an “event†that starts with the catching out, or snatching up of the saints and will last for period of time. 1 Cor. 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Thes. 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. The words, “caught up†are translated from one Greek word, “HARPAZOâ€, which is a very rapid amputation. Have a great day, CDBJ |
