Why will it be too late to repent after Jesus shows up?

Question

Why well he be accepting no more redemption's after he returns? It seems to me that would be the perfect time to get lots of redemption's? It sounds as if he values faith more than truth?

Answer 1

Actually, it will not be too late to repent after Y'shua returns. Luke 13:35 and Zechariah 12:10 indicate, for instance, that many Jews will see Him, recognize Him, repent of unbelief, and accept Him as their Messiah and Savior. Passages like Isaiah 2 describe how people everywhere will repent and learn after the Second Coming.

But in the last days, many will understand who G-d is and who His Son is, and they will still reject Him even as they see Him coming. Revelation 9:20-21 and 16 describe man's rejection of G-d even when He is showing them His power and giving them a chance to repent. Revelation 19:11-21 describes how the nations of the earth will make war against Y'shua as He returns. And Revelation 20:7-10 says that many will reject Him well after His return. Some people will have chosen to reject G-d so many times that when His Son finally returns, it will be too late.

Throughout history, G-d gives humans plenty of time to repent. The End Times will be no different--it's just one long extended chance to repent.

Answer 2

God is a being of faith and He can only except those things which are like Him in nature. God knows every being is capable of believing if they choose to do so. He never asks someone to do something they are incapable of doing. If people do not repent at the return of Jesus, then some of them will get another chance during the 7 years of tribulation. But they will have to endure horrible times.

Answer 3

The time to repent is now not when Jesus shows up. No one the time nor the hour.

Answer 4

who told you that?

although waiting until the last minute doesn't really give you a lot of time to build on the positive side of your account.

if you owned a business and you had one or more employees who did whatever they pleased whether it was good for your business or not. and your company goes public with a huge influx of capital. so you decide to give bonuses to all members of your team based on their worth to the business. upon hearing this all the employees who had been goofing around came to you and repented of their ways and promised to do better in the future.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, would YOU give the larger bonuses to these employees?

Answer 5

If you miss the rapture you still get another chance but it will be very hard. But during the trubulation if you do not repent and Jesus returns yes it will be too late, you will be cast into the lake of fire.

Answer 6

But redemption based on what? When Jesus himself was on earth, most people didn't repent. When God caught Adam and Eve after they sinned, they didn't repent. Don't be so sure of human behavior.

Answer 7

no, after his return there will be 7 horrible years when the antichrist will reign. During this time, as long as a person doesn't take the mark of the antichrist, they can repent and be redeemed.

Answer 8

That is like feeling sorry after you get caught doing something wrong.

And you do not start cooking for a guest after they show up, you plan for when you know they will be here.

Answer 9

That's the Christian Religion business. "Buy now, before the offer is withdrawn". Jesus never made that rule, Christianity did.

Answer 10

Faith is Truth. God puts a "premium price" on Faith (look at the sacrifice of His Son). Abraham believed God and it (his faith) was counted to Him for righteousness. You cannot have "Truth" without faith first......and faith is not faith if you have to wait and "see" before believing.
