Answer 1

Having ears to hear ... they hear not ! Having eyes to see ... they see not !

Answer 2

The Psalms and Isaiah both talk about two advents of Christ.

Psalms 22 for example says:

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

Isaiah 53 tells about the sacrifice of Christ. so we do have the first advent told about to the smallest detail including a vivid description of the Crucifixion.

We are also told that there would be two advents. Jesus said Himself that He would return to gather His own when He talked about going to prepare a place for us that where HE is..we may be also.

Jesus did also tell about those who would tell us that HE is already here...perhaps in an invisible presence but if this were the case such as the Watchtower tries to tell us to mask their false prophecy of His suppose return in 1914 where they said all earthly governments WOULD cease to exist...then changed it to will begin to cease to exist. (it has almost been 100 years since they said Christ returned and things have gotten worse....my friends..my LORD is much better then this..we will see INSTANT changes when HE returns)

e Second Coming is a term applied to the return of Christ. If there is a second coming, it follows that there must have been a first. The first coming of Christ was His incarnation when He was born. At the Second Coming of Christ every eye will see Him (Rev. 1:7) as He descends from heavens in the clouds (Matt. 24:30; Mark 14:6).

One last point...in 1 Thessalonians 4, we are told about what we call the rapture. This is when those that are really Christians are taken up to meet Christ in the air upon His return. Those that are dead will raise from their graves to meet Him. Folks this has NOT happened yet so Christ did NOT return in any way YET.

Answer 3

In Daniel, chapter 9 and Isaiah chapter 53, the death of the Messiah is foretold.

In Zechariah chapter 12, the Messiah comes on the scene at the end of the world, alive, and with a pierced body.

Zec 12:10 ¶ And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.

There you have it. The Messiah is both put to death, and yet appears ALIVE at the end of the world... All foretold in the Old Testament.

Answer 4

“When the Son of man arrives in his glory, . . . he will separate people one from another.”—MATTHEW 25:31, 32.

THREE days before Jesus’ death, four of his disciples approached him and earnestly asked: “Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming [Greek, pa·rou·si′a], and of the end of the world?” For centuries Christendom’s clergy and writers have interpreted these words spoken to Jesus at Matthew 24:3 (King James Version) to mean that he would again be visible in the flesh to be viewed by all mankind. Hence, they have taught that Christ’s return would be with great display and visible pomp. They refer to it as Christ’s second coming. But are their assumptions correct?

By 1889, Jehovah’s anointed ones, as 19th-century light bearers, had already received correction on the matter of Christ’s return. In Volume 2 of Studies in the Scriptures, pages 158 to 161, Charles T. Russell, the first president of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, wrote: “Parousia . . . signifies presence, and should never be translated coming, as in the common English Bible . . . The ‘Emphatic Diaglott,’ a very valuable translation of the New Testament, renders parousia properly, presence . . . , not that of coming, as being on the way, but presence, as after arrival [Jesus] says, ‘As the days of Noah, so shall also the parousia [presence] of the Son of man be.’ Notice, that the comparison is not between the coming of Noah and the coming of our Lord . . . The contrast, then, is between the time of the presence of Noah among the people ‘before the flood,’ and the time of the presence of Christ in the world, at his second advent, ‘before the fire’—the extreme trouble of the Day of the Lord [Jehovah] with which this age ends.”—Matthew 24:37.

So Jehovah’s people of the 19th century correctly understood that the pa·rou·si′a of Christ would be an invisible one. They had also come to an understanding that the end of the Gentile Times would occur in the autumn of 1914. As spiritual enlightenment progressed, they later understood that Jesus Christ was enthroned in heaven as King of the Kingdom in that same year, 1914.—Proverbs 4:18; Daniel 7:13, 14; Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:15.

Answer 5

He's not coming back to "finish the job". When He does come you better watch out! because the "job" would be done...he's coming to get those who believed in him enough to wait for the second coming and for those who didn't believe it will be too late by that time.

Answer 6

To bad your recall doesn't remember what the OT says about JUDGEMENT DAY. I am sure you could find it if you wanted to.

Answer 7
