Revelations?

Question

I've read the bible and have asked plenty of times on here and still haven't gotten a straight answer from anyone... but what will be the circumstances of Christs return?

I still thoroughly believe he's gonna be reborn into this world and carry out the same burden he did last time of life on Earth...

And his death will signal the apocalypse bein the "slain lamb" and all.

i don't wanna hear anything from athiests either, i'm just gonna delete it.

Answer 1

First will come the catching away of the church. Then, the Great Tribulation, during which time the anti-christ will appear. Then Christ returns to set foot on the earth, the enemy will be bound, and Christ will reign for a thousand years. We know this as the Millennium. He will come as He left, in a glorified body, full grown. He will rule with an strong hand. Most likely, He will rule from Jerusalem, on the throne of His ancestor, David. Finally, the enemy will be loosed from bondage, and will provoke the nations to rise up against Christ, resulting in what's called the Battle of Armageddon. When Christ is victorious, the final judgment will follow. A new heaven and new earth will be created, and those who had put their trust and faith in Christ will abide on the new earth with Him forever.

Answer 2

From my understanding of Revelation, I don't think he's going to be reborn into this world as he was before. Revelation says he's going to appear in glory the second time. Some will be taken right into heaven without "tasting death," while the rest will be left to face the tribulation. I don't understand all of Revelation--and I don't think anyone truly does--but there is to be some kind of battle between Satan and Christ, lasting 1000 years, if I remember correctly. At some point all people living and dead are judged and either condemned to eternity in hell or taken for eternity to paradise.
But no, I don't believe he will come to earth the same way as last time.

Answer 3

Okay here's what I believe on the end times:

We can't know, plain and simply. Revelations is full of allegory so it's hard to tell exactly what Paul is saying. And there's so many different theological opinions on this that all have their valid points.

When we studied Revelations in a New Testament class I took back in school the professor said the theme of the book is Christ's imminent return, urging Christians to act now and live rightly. All the rest is just insignificant details and we'll find out the specifics when they actually happen.

Answer 4

Do you believe that the answer is in the Bible?


I take my answer from a book cited below:

The books of the New Testament were not selected, edited, and collated until hundreds of years after the death of Jesus.
John the Beloved was still alive then, and in disguise, visited those responsible for its canonization. His writings were profound. They gave the editors a different view of Jesus’ministry than that which had been passed down from one generation to the next.


John also delivered his manuscript for his Revelation to the editors, knowing they would never comprehend its meaning because of the symbolic and metaphorical way in which it was written. In this way, John maintained the integrity of the manuscript for hundreds of years.

...
This book is for the brave, the honest, the seeker of truth and wisdom. It is a disclosure of truth that has been hidden from the minds of scholars, popes, priests, and kings for hundreds of years. It presents an explanation of the foundation of the human condition that is long overdue in a world that is crumbling under the pressure of its own ignorance. But most fascinating of all, the reader will delve into a mystery that has perplexed the whole of Christianity, and has brought undeserved fear and desperation to millions of people who believe the Bible to be the literal and ultimate “word of God.”


With this same “word,” by using the references of the same Bible, the author has brought to the world an understanding that is overwhelmingly specific and direct in its interpretation, and unwaveringly exact in its description of the most talked about and studied book in modern religion.


There is not another book I have ever read to compare to this one.

It's online for free.

If you are interested you can read the the book for yourself.

Answer 5

In Revelations Christ came back not reborn as a baby but He will return as a warrior riding a white horse. He will not be killed again but will demolish the forces of Satan. He died once and and that was enough. Either Paul or Peter stated in one of thier letters that Crist died once for all.For Jesus to die again and carry out the same burden would imply that he did not do a good enough job last time or that his blood has lost its power. Nowhere in Revelations does it say he will be reborn and repeat his last life on earth. Whereever did you get such a notion.

Answer 6

His return will not be in human form as that would mean taking back the meaning of his sacrifice as a ransom for mankind.

He comes back as King of a Kingdom given him by his Father's power. No longer is he a lamb for slaughter or weak in anything. He awaits his Father's time for destroying this wicked system of things with its corrupt governments and false religion set up to harm mankind.

He then expands his Kingdom to cover the entire earth. To bring things back to the way his Father originally intended back in Eden. Afterwards, he turns ruling authority back over to his Father.

Signs for the beginning of this are in Matt. 24th chapter as well as other places. All these things on a scale unlike anything that has happened before. That is how we know about when this will be. But, not even Jesus knew exactly when his Father would decide the time to begin was.

Answer 7

Nobody really knows what the circumstances of Christ's return may be. All you really can do is read the Book Of Revelations and go from there. I'm not gonna sit here and act like i know either..lol..because I don't. I know that it's suppose to be a glorious time though.

Be Blessed..:)

Answer 8

The book of Revelation is NOT about the second coming of christ. Why would early christians write about something that did not effect their daily lives?? Everything else in the bible was concerning the daily lives of the people who were writing the scriptures, why should we think anything different of THIS book? That makes no sense. It makes more sense to think that Revelation was concerning the Roman Empire and how it would fall. That would have been a much more pressing issue for them to be writing about.

Answer 9

Wait a second, you can delete answers you don't like?? How do you do THAT?

As for your question, I don't think the Bible is that specific as to the EXACT circumstances. However, since the odds are that when and if it happens you will no longer be living or cognizant of things like time and circumstance, how could it possibly matter?

Answer 10

The exact circumstances and the details are unclear. Scripture basically only tells us that Christ will return in glory -- what that means exactly, we'll just have to wait and see.

This happens for each of us, of course, when we die and leave this world. When that happens, we're outside of time -- everything is one big continuous Now, and that includes the glorious event of Christ's return.
