When will Jesus come back?

Question

most people say we will go to meet him before the tribulation.and i have studdied till i cant study no more of all of it. and im not trying to prove anyone wrong. but i read it pretty litterally.and it says the opposite. Im starting to think that the churches are brainwashing can this be true. this is strange?someone please tell me . i cant fathom it.

well i know that the churches tell people things that maybe they dont understand.

i already know that the time or hour is not revealed , im just saying that i read it literally, and i have been taught that we wont go through anything bad.but the way i read it we will and it doesnt bother me, maybe its because they think that because of being afraid? maybe? i dont know , im just wondering if there are any passages that say it is pre tribulation or post because i cant see why the churches would be teaching differently.

because some people say when Jesus is speaking to them he is not speaking to the church hes speaking to sinners.

Answer 1

Never.

Jesus, if he existed, is just a dead guy. All the legends and myths written about him decades after he supposedly died are just superstitions. There's no reason to think he'll come to life any more than any other dead person.

Answer 2

you are very right...in this age, there are no teachers or prophets...and not one single organized religion (churches) that teaches the true WORD of GOD. each individual church leader teaches his interpretation of the bible. some have this right while others have that right...but not one has it all right, and what good are they doing if they couch a little truth in a big lie...isnt that just what satan does? GOD is a spirit and is to be worshipped in the spirit...this is what JESUS told the samaritan woman. GODs true church is made up of individual believers scattered all over the world, are small remnant, and they are taught by GOD alone...as HE says, HE whispers HIS mysteries in the ears of HIS children.
to show you what GOD thinks of todays churches...HE says this about them...they teach for doctrine the commandments of men...they worship me with their lips but their hearts are far from me...in vain do they worship me...the list goes on....

Answer 3

Its my understanding that the Believers will be Raptured up when Jesus returns (I Thessalonians 4:16-17), which will usher in the Tribulation period spoken of in Revelation. This is a period where the antichrist will rule on earth and those left behind will either choose the mark or die as martyrs refusing it. After that seven year period is up, Jesus will come back, Satan will be cast into Hell (unable to come back up to Earth where he has had free reign to roam) and Jesus and His followers will reign for 1000 years before the White Throne Judgment happens where those who never knew or accepted Christ before the Rapture will have the opportunity to choose Him.

Answer 4

Not soon enough. I can't wait to be rid of all these dumbass X-ians.
In all "seriousness," though, most believers have a checklist of "signs" of the coming Apocalypse. A good ;) website to check out would be:

Some earlier philosophers also believed that the return of ol' Jesus already happened (around 100 years after his death) and that this is the plagued hell he left behind after gathering his true believers.

Answer 5

The churches ARE brainwashing you. The book of Revelations was written in code regarding the life of early Christians during the time of Nero, who almost certainly is referred to as the antichrist in that story. During that time, Christians were so persecuted that they had to write in code and symbolism (where do you think the fish symbol comes from?) and the Book of Revelations is just that. The preachers who say that the "end times are coming" are either deluded, not educated in religious history, or trying to use fear for political purposes.

Answer 6

No one knows the time or place of Jesus's return. He will come like a theif in the night.

How you interpret it also has as much to do with the version you read as it does the way you interpret it. While most Bible versions are the same in story, some of the translations can go different ways when talking about ideas.

While religions are, in theory, a way to spread faith, most churches end up spreading their certain ideas instead of spreading the word of God and allowing you to apply it to your life.

And let me put it this way. The Bible wants me to accept Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior. If I don't, I will meet Him at the gates of Heaven and He will not know me. That's how I read it.

Answer 7

Are you reading the Bible on your own, or are you asking God to lead you through it. Believe me, when I tell you that there is a big difference. If you are trying to read and study the Word of God on your own, and you don't ask God to open up His word to you according to where you are spritually with Him. You will never understand it, because you are trying to use earthly wisdom and not Godly wisdom. If you are still confused after reading the Bible on your own, that is because earthly wisdom comes from satan and not God. satan is the author of confusion.

James 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

Jesus is returning in our lifetime. The exact time is not revealed in the Bible. If someone told you it was, they were not telling you the truth. Not even Jesus Himself knows of the exact time of His return. Only God knows that.

Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Make sure you are ready for Christ's return. No one but God knows when Jesus return for His church/bride is. While we await that time, we are to make ourselves ready for Him, through our continued studying of His Word, living according to what we have been instructed through that Word, and place all of our trust in the Lord and not expect ourselves to have to have all the answers to all quesitons.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

No where in the Bible does it say that we are entitled to the answers to all questiions known to man. Because we're not. Most of the people can't handle the information that God has given us already. Just make sure you are spiritually ready for when Jesus does come. Make sure your relationship with Jesus is a strong and stable and honorable one. He won't leave you behind once you have accepted Him as your personal Savior. Praise the Lord!

Don't be among those who become decieved by the antichrist and his lies. Because that is happening today.

"Falling away from faith"... 1 Timothy 4:1-2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

"Will not endure sound doctrine"... 2 Timothy 4:2-4 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Do not allow that to happen to you.

Answer 8

I am assuming you are asking if we will be in heaven before the final judgement, if this is the case I can only say this.... when Jesus was on the cross one of the criminals next to him asked him "Jesus, remember me when you have come into your Kingdom," too which Jesus replied "I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise."

Answer 9

The correct answer is 'no man knows the hour or the day'. But I'm betting on September. Whether it's this year, 2012, or some other year, I have no clue. Obviously, I'm hoping for this year. But I'm PLANNING on about 250 years from now.

Answer 10

There are at least 3 theories as to when Jesus will return
amillennium---pre millennium--post millennium--search the three pray about it and trust the Lord to lead you. There is no disagreement about Jesus return--just when. I am a pre millenniumist but I have friend who are of the other persuasions.

Answer 11

The bible says, no man knows the day or the hour. We are given clues as to what will happen first and the condition of the world , when Jesus returns.
