Jehovahs Witnesses: Which scripture says Jesus will come back twice?

Question

Many JWs have told me that Jesus has already come back, but invisibily. Which scripture indicates this in the bible?

They are also still expecting him to come back (again). Which scripture says he'll come back twice?

Thanks!

I'm not talking about Jesus coming to live inside you. JWs told me he came back in 1914.

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses wrongly use the expression 'Jesus presence' rather than the correct Biblical wording 'Jesus coming'. This is a semantic wriggle so they can attach 'invisible' after the word presence. 'Invisible coming' just doesn't go down as easily as 'invisible presence'.

The signs of Matthew 24 are NO-signs. Jesus spoke of false prophets and wars then said "Such things must happen, but the end is still to come." After listing international wars, famines, earthquakes, etc., he said, "All these are the BEGINNING of birth-pains." It's only after the gospel has been preached in the whole world, to all nations, that the end will come. The appearance of the Antichrist is The Big Event heralding that this stage has been reached and Jehovah's Witnesses have precious little to say about that, having fired all their big guns prematurely. Christians cannot say what that event will be until it happens and it becomes clear to them.

Speculation on when Jesus SECOND coming will be (not third, as Jehovah's Witnesses would have you believe) is a waste of time. We should be living every day as though the Lord was about to return.

This is a very good question because there is no scripture to support their false teaching that Jesus came invisibly in 1914. They are false prophets.

Answer 2

I am not a JW, but a SDA, and we also believe that there will be two separate resurrections 1000 years apart. Christ will return a third time for the last resurrection.

Jhn 5:29 - "And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. "

Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.
Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.


There will be two resurrections; the one when Christ returns, which will be the resurrection of life, for the saved; as Revelation 20:5 says, the wicked dead will remain dead for 1000 years, at the end of which time there will be another resurrection, the resurrection of damnation, for the wicked.

Answer 3

You don't need JW's to tell you this. Your own Bible will tell you if you can believe it. Read John 14:15-24 and tell me when will Jesus make His home on the inside of you? There is a reason we don't hear these verses in church and that is because we have changed the gospel to suit our own itching ears. All believers no matter what denomination they are from make up the body of Christ on earth according to the Word of the Lord written in Ephesians 1:23 and Colossians 1:24 and Romans 12:5 as well as other verses.

The being caught up or so called rapture at Christ coming is written in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Enjoy!

The Greek word which some bibles translate as "coming" (or "advent") is more accurately translated as "presence". If the so-called "first coming of Christ" lasted some 33 years, would it be reasonable to expect the so-called "second coming" to be of a shorter duration?

What might occur DURING such a "coming" or "return" or "presence" of Christ? The bible tells its readers.

1. Jesus takes his heavenly throne, ousting Satan from heaven.

(Revelation 12:7-10) And war broke out in heaven...So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him. And I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ


2. Jesus rules "in the midst of his enemies" while the composite "sign" of Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 21 unfolds for sincere Christians to observe.

(Psalm 110:1-2) The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord [Jesus] is: “Sit at my right hand Until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.” The rod of your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion, saying: “Go subduing in the midst of your enemies.”


3. Jesus completes his conquest over Satan and Satanic agents, at Armageddon.

(Revelation 6:2) [Jesus] went forth conquering and to complete his conquest.

(Revelation 19:19-20:3) [Anti-God] armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. ...the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse... And [Jesus] seized the dragon, the original serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he hurled him into the abyss
