Christians, if somebody told you that they were the Second Coming, would you believe them?

Question

If not, what evidence would you require, in order to start believing that they were?

maguyver727: Everybody eh? interesting.

Answer 1

The Bible is clear about how the second coming will take place.

"Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen." (Revelation 1:7)

And

"On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south." (Zechariah 14:4)

Unless they do that, it ain't Him.

Answer 2

The Christian would know Christ when they saw Him by the "Print of the nails in His Hands". The next coming is the "Rapture" where Christ returns but does not set foot on earth, His church"body of believers" both those that are dead and those that are alive will rise to meet Him in the air , we are told this will happen in a moment in the twinkling of an eye. The non believers will be left on earth and great deception will be given as to what happened to all those that disappeared. After the rapture there will be a 7 year period which is referred to as the "Tribulation Period" when God will bring judgment upon the earth. At this time this is when the Antichrist (world leader) sets up his reign on earth. This 7 year period ends with the battle of Armageddon when all the nations of the world attack Israel. Christ will then come and this will be the true second coming, He will set up his reign on earth for 1000 years to show how there can be true peace on earth. This 1000 year reign will be followed by the Great White Throne Judgment where the non believers will give an account of their lives then be sent to the lake of fire for having rejected God's gift His Son. Most of what I have said can be found in the book of Revelation and in the book of Thessalonians. God's word has not been wrong yet and it won't fail here.Cheers!

Answer 3

Every eye will see Jesus' coming. Rev. 1:7

His return will be like lightning flashing across the sky.
(very bright and visible) Matthew 24:27

It will be VERY loud and the righteous dead will be resurrected at that time and all the righteous will be
caught up in the clouds. 1 Thess. 5:16,17

He will come in the clouds just like when He went into heaven.
Acts 1:11

Just before Jesus comes there will be voices, thunders, a great earthquake and great hail. The wicked will cry for the rocks to fall on them. Rev. 16:18-20

And before all that there will be a decree that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark of the beast in his forhead or hand. Rev. 13:16,17....Rev. 14:9,10

And then the plagues will come. Rev. 15:1

There will be a decree that the ones who will not worship the beast will be killed. Rev. 13:15

So, no one will have to tell you there was the second coming...you would know....everyone will know.

Answer 4

Jesus gave us specific signs to look for so that we would know it was him when he comes again. The Bible in the Old testament gave us over 100 signs to look for so we would be able to know him when he came the first time. I have no problem with the 100+ verses that tell us what to look for in the second coming.

When Jesus comes, he will come out of the sky shining brightly in the dark sky. It will be dark because the sun will not be shining through due to dark clouds. Thus everybody will see him as he comes. "He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see him, and they also who pierced him" (Revelation 1:7). Jesus will not come out of a building and announce himself. He is not waiting in an obscure place until just the right time. He will come out of the sky after a period of judgment on the world.

Answer 5

NO!

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Answer 6

no for Jesus will come for all to see just like the lightening out of the east can be see in the west so Jesus will be seen coming out of the clouds. So I would need no evidence I just would not believe until I seen Jesus

Answer 7

No. They could not provide the evidence. When Jesus returns, all the world will see him at once (yes I know this is physically impossible but it will happen) so He will not have to prove himself to anyone. All will know...and it is then that we will see the knashing of teeth etc. and people who have not believed will hide their faces from Him. Unfortunately, then it will be to late for them.

Answer 8

would not that verse tutor that we will no longer see him? are you able to be certain by the clouds? to be certain additionally means to appreciate. We understand that he has come with the aid of fact we see what consequence it has had on earth. additionally, how can people who pierced him see him come back? they're long ineffective. he's no longer coming to the earth. He grew to become into right here as quickly as and that's adequate. He wll rule from heaven. He appeared as king in God's kingdom in 1914. this is whilst he threw devil out of heaven and to the earth. (Revelation 12:7-10) 7 And warfare broke out in heaven: Mi?cha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 even with the undeniable fact that it did no longer be triumphant, neither grew to become right into a place got here upon for them from now on in heaven. 9 So down the large dragon grew to become into hurled, the unique serpent, the only suggested as devil and devil, who's deceptive the finished inhabited earth; he grew to become into hurled right down to the earth, and his angels have been hurled down with him. 10 and that i heard a noisy voice in heaven say: “Now have come to bypass the salvation and the means and the dominion of our God and the authority of his Christ, with the aid of fact the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night earlier our God! be conscious verse 10 Jesus got here into means then. What got here approximately in 1914 that replaced the full international? the commencing up of WW1. No different warfare grew to become into international. when you consider that then the earth has seen unparalleled wars. Famines, illnesses, earthquakes. no longer something like those have got here approximately previous to 1914. There have continually been those issues yet no longer in the numbers we've. some say that that's with the aid of fact we talk greater effective that it merely looks like they're worse immediately. in the event that they have been merely as undesirable in the previous why would not our background books let us know? If extensive earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc had got here approximately in the previous we'd have learn them at school. We purely examine a pair of few of those issues. Mattew 24: tells us what is going to take place whilst the tip of this technique is close to and that's taking place now.

Answer 9

I'd believe they were "coming" for the second time.

Jesus will not have to announce his return. Trust me. Everyone will know.

Answer 10

wouldn't. no evidence can convince me, as I believe revelations was correct in saying how He will return, and He aint coming as some ex-heroin addict, or a normal human being for that matter...
