Why is Jesus coming back for those who believe?

Question

What is the purpose of His return?

Answer 1

Your question is unanswerable because it presupposes that he actually is coming back, and that he actually exists/existed, neither of which is factual so far as we know.

Answer 2

The Manner of Christ’s Return

According to the book An Evangelical Christology, “the second coming or return of Christ (parousia) establishes the kingdom of God, finally, openly, and for all eternity.” It is a widely held belief that Christ’s return will be openly visible, literally seen by everyone on the planet. To support this notion, many point to Revelation 1:7, which reads: “Look! He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those who pierced him.” But is this verse meant to be taken literally?

Remember, the book of Revelation is presented “in signs.” (Revelation 1:1) This passage, then, must be symbolic; after all, how could “those who pierced him” see Christ return? They have been dead nearly 20 centuries! Furthermore, the angels said that Christ would return “in the same manner” as he departed. Well, how did he leave? With millions watching? No, just a few faithful ones beheld the event. And when the angels spoke to them, were the apostles literally watching Christ’s journey all the way to heaven? No, a cloud cover had obscured Jesus from view. Sometime thereafter, he must have entered the spirit heavens as a spirit being, invisible to human eyes. (1 Corinthians 15:50) So, at most, the apostles saw only the beginning of Jesus’ journey; they could not watch its ending, his return to the heavenly presence of his Father, Jehovah. This they could only discern with their eyes of faith.—John 20:17.

The Bible teaches that Jesus returns in much the same way. Jesus himself said shortly before his death: “A little longer and the world will behold me no more.” (John 14:19) He also said that “the kingdom of God is not coming with striking observableness.” (Luke 17:20) In what sense, then, will ‘every eye see him’? To answer, we first need a clear understanding of the word Jesus and his followers used in connection with his return.

The fact is, Christ does much more than simply “return.” That word, like “coming,” “arrival,” or “advent,” implies a single event in a brief moment of time. But the Greek word that Jesus and his followers used means much more. The word is pa·rou·si´a, literally meaning a “being alongside” or a “presence.” Most scholars agree that this word incorporates not only an arrival but also a subsequent presence—as in a State visit from a royal personage. This presence is not a momentary event; it is a special era, a marked period of time. At Matthew 24:37-39, Jesus said that “the presence [pa·rou·si´a] of the Son of man” would be like “the days of Noah” which culminated in the Flood. Noah was building the ark and warning the wicked for decades before the Flood arrived and wiped out that corrupt world system. Likewise, then, Christ’s invisible presence lasts over a period of some decades before it too culminates in a great destruction.

Undoubtedly, the pa·rou·si´a is not literally visible to human eyes. If it were, why would Jesus spend so much time, as we shall see, giving his followers a sign to help them to discern this presence? However, when Christ comes to destroy Satan’s world system, the fact of his presence will be overwhelmingly manifest to all. It is then that “every eye will see him.” Even Jesus’ opponents will be able to discern, to their dismay, that Christ’s reign is real.—See Matthew 24:30; 2 Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 1:5, 6.

Answer 3

He already came back and took a look around. He saw that the fundies are all ready to crucify him all over again, because all they care about is a book. Last time he was here he asked only this of people - Follow me. There are darn few who cold do it. There are even fewer today who will give up their cozy self-indulgent life and follow him. They prefer to live comfortably and occupy themselves with worshipping the Bible's mere words, a form of idolatry, while ignoring the man and being deaf to his call to follow him. They are busy telling other people how to live their lives, as if they are somehow appointed to judge others. Jesus has taken a look at these fundie hypocrites and has gone back upstairs for another two thousand years or so, waiting for the idolatrous fundie fanaticism to blow over.

Answer 4

I believe that when Jesus comes back(called the Second Coming), that there will be the Final Judgement of everyone who ever lived. He will separate the believers from the unbelievers. The unbelievers will go to the lake of fire and the believers will go to be with Jesus in the New Jerusalem on the New Earth(also called "Heaven"). www.equip.org

Answer 5

Your first question is another ploy, as you know if you have read the bible, Jesus goes straight among the sinners where he can serve the needy and not to those who could give help.
Your second is about the written 'second coming' which is also made some few debates as you'll find them out more on the Bible, John 3:2 - John 3:22...

Answer 6

His purpose of returning is to do away with all evil in the world once and for all. When he returns he will not be the gentle Jesus that died on the cross that everyone imagines but will come back as the all powerful judge with a rod of iron and smite the nations in judgement for sin and eradicate everything that exalts itself against him. This is only a promise for those who choose not to accept him as Lord and Savior, He loved mankind thats why he died for us but if we choose not to accept we have to pay the price for our sin and that is a price we cant pay.

Answer 7

Jesus is coming back on judgment day for those who believe and for those who don't believe.
