Is it possible that Jesus might be here now..?

Question

But this time he is keeping a low profile because of his last experience? How do we know he's not here? He could be here, aged 21 and waiting until he's in his 30's before he starts his amazing miracles!

Answer 1

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is the hope of believers that God is in control of all things, and is faithful to the promises and prophecies in His Word. In His first coming, Jesus Christ came to earth as a baby in a manager in Bethlehem, just as prophesied. Jesus fulfilled many of the prophecies of the Messiah during His birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection. However, there are some prophecies regarding the Messiah that Jesus has not, as of yet, fulfilled. The Second Coming of Christ will be the return of Christ to fulfill these remaining prophecies. In His first coming, Jesus was the suffering servant. In His Second Coming, Jesus will be the conquering King. In His first coming, Jesus arrived in the most humble of circumstances. In His Second Coming, Jesus will arrive with the armies of Heaven at His side.

The Old Testament Prophets did not make this distinction between the two comings. This can be seen in Scriptures such as Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; and Zechariah 14:4. As a result of the prophecies seeming to speak of two individuals, many Jewish scholars believed there would be both a suffering Messiah and a conquering Messiah. What they failed to understand is that the same Messiah would fulfill both roles. Jesus fulfilled the role of the suffering servant (Isaiah chapter 53) in His first coming. Jesus will fulfill the role of Israel’s deliverer and King in His Second Coming. Zechariah 12:10 and Revelation 1:7, describing the Second Coming, look back to Jesus being pierced. Israel, and the whole world, will mourn for not having accepted the Messiah the first time He came.

After Jesus ascended into Heaven, the angels declared to the apostles, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11). Zechariah 14:4 identifies the location of the Second Coming as the Mount of Olives. Matthew 24:30 declares, “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.” Titus 2:13 describes the Second Coming as a “glorious appearing.”

The Second Coming is spoken of in greatest detail in Revelation 19:11-16, "And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, "KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

Answer 2

No He is not here- Jesus said He is coming back the same way he went up.

1 John 4:1
[ Test the Spirits ] Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Matthew 24:24
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible.

Revelation 1:7
Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

Answer 3

Jesus said in John 14:2-3, "In My Father’s house are many mansions;if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also."

After Jesus' death on the cross, Mark 16:19 "So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God."

Jesus sits in heaven at the right hand of God. He is the mediator between God and man. 1 Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus".

However for believers, He also live inside of us. Colossians 1:27,"
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."

We are waiting for Him to come again, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 "
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words."

I also want to state that IF Jesus was still on earth, though I believe the Bible clearly says He is at the right hand of God in heaven, He would not nessasarily be popular, Isaiah 53:1-3 "1 Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. "

Answer 4

No because we are told in scripture that we will see Him riding on the clouds when He returns. Also Matthew 24 vs 27 "For as lightning that comes from the east is visible in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of man."

Answer 5

No. Jesus says to not look for him in any hidden places and that if someone should tell you he is out in the desert, do not search for him there.
Basically, when he comes, we will DEFINITELY know it. He wouldn't keep a low-profile. He'd gladly declare himself to be what he is:
The Son of God.

Answer 6

Jesus is not here now. When he comes again everyone will know. It will be like the sun rising in the east. It will not be hidden from anyone. Read Revelation.

Answer 7

15:52 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.

That hasn't happened yet..it will happen when Jesus returns

Answer 8

No Jesus was a man and died and is forever gone, however IF he were here his amazing miracle would be to disappear again for the shameful life he brought upon us.

Answer 9

HE said in His Word, "I am going to Heaven to be at the right hand of my Father. I will return 2 take all my followers home."

If he were here, we`d be in Heaven by now.

Answer 10

Jesus won't be coming back a second time around...

I think that is a prophecy meant to keep humanity in check...not as a literal promise...

besides if you were Jesus, wouldn't you want to be safe and keep as far away as you can from earth?
