When Jesus Christ will come again in the world?

Answer 1

I'm no expert on eschatology (study of last things), but I know enough to be able to tell you that a lot of the popular stuff that's been floating around-- like the whole -Left Behind- series-- is based on a poor understanding of scripture. I'll give you a small sampling of how.

In the days directly preceding His crucifixion, Yeshua (Jesus) thoroughly denounced the behavior of the religious leaders in Israel. He went so far as to call down curses on them. Many are likely familiar with some of the things that Yeshua said on the occasion...

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! ...Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside, you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."
(See Matthew 23:1-36 for Yeshua's long discourse on how bad the Pharisees and other religious leaders of the day were.)

After delivering this speech on how to win friends and influence people, Yeshua sighed a lament over Jerusalem:

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'"
(Matthew 23:37-39)

Leaving the temple, His disciples were really excited about the beauty of the temple and its buildings, but Yeshua's reply made them uneasy:

"Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

Yeshua and the disciples went out from the city, resting on the Mount of Olives, and asked Him about His words concerning the temple and Jerusalem. His answer, which is the focus of Matthew 24-25, is thus called "The Olivet Discourse," being devivered on the Mount of Olives. This passage is one of the main places people go to try to figure out when the world is going to end, but look closely at the question posed Yeshua and how He answers it.

"Tell us," his disciples asked, "when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" "These things" must be referring to the things Yeshua has just said, namely that the temple and all of its buildings will be destroyed. That being the case, the disciples' question is three-fold.

1. When is the temple going to be destroyed?
2. What will be the sign of Yeshua's "coming," or the sign of Yeshua's "presence," depending on how one renders the Greek word -parousia- used here.
3. What will be the sign of the end of the age?

Perhaps the last two questions might be rolled together into one. In fact, Yeshua practically rolls all three of them up into the same question.

What was Yeshua's answer? Well, He answers all three questions in a fairly broad stroke. He gives a few indicators of what must happen first. In verse five, Yeshua warns that many people would claim the throne of Israel. Where am I getting this? "Christ" is the English transliteration of the Greek word meaning "anointed one," where "Messiah" is our transliteration of the Hebrew word of the same meaning. Any time you see "Christ" in the New Testament, "Messiah" in the Old Testament, or "anointed" or "anointed one" in either testament, they mean the same thing. The term "messiah" had a very political connotation-- take for instance when David killed the Amalekite who helped Saul kill himself. It's in 2 Samuel 1. David asks the Amalekite, "How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy YHWH's anointed?" Here, "anointed" is practically synonymous with "king." (This very strong political connotation of the term helps to explain why Yeshua avoided being called the messiah on several occasions.)

Some more precursors to the temple's destruction and Yeshua's -parousia- are listed in verses six and seven: wars, rumors of wars, famines, diseases, and earthquakes. These sorts of phenomena have always been going on, and indeed, even within the first century, all sorts of wars were being fought, there were all kinds of food shortages, disease was all over the place, and there was an earthquake in Asia minor that leveled much of Laodicea.

In verse nine, Yeshua says that the church would be persecuted. In verse eleven, that many false prophets would arise. In verse fourteen, that the gospel would be proclaimed to the whole Roman empire. (-Oikoumene- was often used in this sense, although most translations render it "world." If you look up -oikoumene- in a Greek lexicon, you will see that it usually had particular reference to either the Roman world or the land inhabited by Greeks as opposed to that of "barbarians.") These, too, all came to pass in the first century. In Acts 8:1, it says "a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles." Paul speaks at length in nearly all of his letters of false prophets and contrary doctrine plaguing the church.

What of the gospel having been "preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations"? In Colossians 1:6, Paul mentions that "the gospel, which has come to you, as it has also in all the world, and is bringing forth fruit..." Here the Greek word rendered "world" is -kosmos-, which is an even broader term than the Greek word used in Matthew 24 which was often more limited to the Roman empire (-oikoumene-). According to the New Testament itself, the gospel had been preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations within the first century.

The abomination in verse fifteen is probably referring to either the Jewish Zealots (radical militants who opposed the Roman occupation) entering the temple shortly before AD 70 or the Romans actually setting up pagan military standards bearing markings of their religions. Yeshua here warns His followers of the horrible destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, telling them to run for the hills as soon as they see these signs. Verses 23-26 are warnings against following any would be king gathering forces to oppose the Romans.

I'm afraid I will have to stop here due to time constraints, but if you have found what I have said helpful, I recommend to you any of the books I have listed as sources. Also, James Holding's site (tektonics.org) has a pretty good overview of eschatology. I've given a link to one particular article that deals witih the Olivet discourse. The main thing I would say to you concerning this question is this: read the Bible. A lot of the New Testament cannot be fully understood without a substantial background in the Old Testament, and vice versa. Keep this in mind: the whole focus of the Bible is on Jesus Christ (Yeshua, the Messiah) and His work on our behalf.

Answer 2

God will return within the Generation of the 'fig tree' that generation is when Israel becomes a nation. Israel became a nation in 1948 and celebrated their 50 year jubilee in 1998. A generation is 100 years. The year 2048 will be one generation. Do the math. He will return during this generation. The actual time no one knows the day or the hour but HIS followers will know when the time is near as pregnant woman travail with child. It is written so shall it be done.

Answer 3

get over yourself! look at a dead bird,fish,dog,ant,fly,butterfly,moth or whatever, i wish that people could get over themselfs and realise that we are just another carbon based living organism the same as any other! why do you have some big special important meaning in life??? if you want to know the facts on how matter and life was formed, dont be so ignorant, and do some study & all yr answers are known!!! you are probably one of these retards that thinks science is wrong!!! pretty good for someone with an iq that allows them to believe in gods and ****!!! the bible STATES that the world is flat, and that the earth is the centre of the universe and that the stars are gods angkes looking down upon us!!! the easter bunny is more believable!!!

Answer 4

A man dead never comes back. He is dead and his body is fossilised. How can he come back? Some body else in future or for that matter at present may claim that he is Jesus of the past and there may even be takers to believe. But the fact remains that both are not the same person who are divided by the nature's tyrant called 'Time'.

Answer 5

Not even the Son knows, but only the Father. If someone tells you it's such and such a date, they are lying and the truth is not in them. Many religious teachers use this as a scare tactic. Remember, to God, a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day. God does not percieve time in the same manner in which we do.

Answer 6

Any time soon, but the exact time we do not know. Then we will have 1000 years of peace after the wicked are destroyed. Satan then will be bound and will not be able to tempt us. What a beautiful and glorious day it will be for the righteous.
