jehovahs witnesses, where in the bible is the invisble second coming spoken about?

Question

and wouldn't that make it a "third coming" when he really comes back? (also not spoken of in the bible)

doesn't the bible say that everyone will see him

Answer 1

They say it happened in 1914. They said this in 1915 after they had said it would be a visible presence and had said so for many years prior to 1914. When it didn't happen they said it was "invisible". Makes it hard to prove otherwise doesn't it?
Kind of like when Christians say "prove god doesn't exist", both are impossible to prove.

Now they also said 1914 would mark the last generation before Armageddon, the people who saw 1914 would see then end. They're getting kind of quiet about that lately

Answer 2

i think of the party reaction could be that there have continually been witnesses whether or no longer they or everyone else knew it or no longer! although, i'm fascinated in the priority of vegeterianism as against ingesting meat. have been the flesh pots of Egypt given a unfavorable point out while the Israelites have been on the great trek? The mummies are chanced directly to be riddled with arthrititis and so on and that i think of meat strengthen into probable in area responsible. The j's say that if u executed the surprising element via following technique with slaughter then somewhat residual blood wont injury. U cant get all of it out! This makes particularly mockery of the placement that it is the blood itself that's risky. I even have come to appreciate that context is relatively disregarded via all non secular people while examining their scriptures. finding on the great image, no loving god might % to work out people die while they could be saved. death looks so everlasting. I do think of that the Blood drugs difficulty is merely yet another occasion of what made them unique in the early days and made them marketable. Any and all the those unique issues would be distributed with in the event that they strengthen into extra of a criminal duty than an asset to the furtherance of the goals and targets (in spite of those are) of the business enterprise.

Answer 3

1 Tim 6:16 the one alone having immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom not one of men has seen or can see. To him be honor and might everlasting. Amen.

This one verse creates many problems if you are not a Witness.

1. Non Witnesses say this verse is talking about God.
Other Non Witnesses say this verse is talking about Jesus.

If it is talking about Jesus, notice the point that "not one of men has seen or can see. "

So if this verse is talking about Jesus, then people can not see him.

If this verse is about God, and if Jesus is God, then people still can not see him.

2. Did you notice the phrase "the one alone having immortality"

If this is true then the immortality of the soul, which makes all humans (and don't forget animals because they also have souls) immortal.

I have found only Jehovah's Witnesses teaching make this verse true in their understanding of the entire bible.

Answer 4

He returned in 1914 but I didn't see him, I checked back into some history and there was no mention that Christ returned? As lightning comes from the east and shines to the west so shall the presence of the son of man will be. He hasn't come yet, point blank.

Answer 5

JW translational fabrication....

Answer 6

Vot summed it up very nicely..
For sure the book of Ezekial say..Everyone will have to know that I Jehovah am God and the one causing the things to happen. He also says if you won't bow your stiff necks to him in worship he will break them.

Do yourselves a favor now...get started on a serious bible study with Jehovah's Witnesses.
It will soon be like a sale at a popular store...Everyone will be begging for a study but there won't be enough of us to help you.

They will be grabbing a hold of the skirt of a spiritual Jew and saying let us go up with you to worship Jehovah.

Please like the Ark was closed by God and the world of that time died...so it will be again...the bible promises things to destroy humans that have never happened before.

Get in to the truth before the destruction.

Answer 7

Recall Jesus said I will come as a thief in the night?
His return is shown by the events following his spiritual return in 1914. Worlds events took a turn for the worse because of his intervention.
Come study with us. There's no charge, and you do not have to become a Jehovah's Witness to attend our meetings.
You can even pick who you want to study with!

Answer 8

The JW answer will undoubtedly center around the theory of the "light gets brighter".

Answer 9

It is right next to the rapture in the imaginary book of missing facts.

Answer 10

Surely it shows some respect to spell out proper names starting with a capital letter? It also shows that one understands the rules of grammar.

**What is the meaning of Jesus’ coming “in the same manner” as he ascended to heaven?

Acts 1:9-11: “While they [Jesus’ apostles] were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud caught him up from their vision. And as they were gazing into the sky while he was on his way, also, look! two men in white garments stood alongside them, and they said: ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus who was received up from you into the sky will come thus in the same manner as you have beheld him going into the sky.’” (Notice that this says “the same manner,” not the same body. What was the “manner” of his ascent? As verse 9 shows, he disappeared from view, his departure being observed only by his disciples. The world in general was not aware of what happened. The same would be true of Christ’s return.)

What is meant by his ‘coming on the clouds’ and ‘every eye seeing him’?

Rev. 1:7: “Look! He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him.” (Also Matthew 24:30; Mark 13:26; Luke 21:27)

What is indicated by “clouds”? Invisibility. When an airplane is in a thick cloud or above the clouds, people on the ground usually cannot see it, although they may hear the roar of the engines. Jehovah told Moses: “I am coming to you in a dark cloud.” Moses did not see God, but that cloud indicated Jehovah’s invisible presence. (Ex. 19:9; see also Leviticus 16:2; Numbers 11:25.) If Christ were to appear visibly in the heavens, it is obvious that not “every eye” would see him. If he appeared over Australia, for example, he would not be visible in Europe, Africa, and the Americas, would he?

In what sense will ‘every eye see him’? They will discern from events on earth that he is invisibly present. Also referring to sight that is not physical, John 9:41 reports: “Jesus said to [the Pharisees]: ‘If you were blind, you would have no sin. But now you say, “We see.” Your sin remains.’” (Compare Romans 1:20.) Following Christ’s return, some persons show faith; they recognize the sign of his presence. Others reject the evidence, but when Christ goes into action as God’s executioner of the wicked, even they will discern from the manifestation of his power that the destruction is not from men but from heaven. They will know what is happening because they were warned in advance. Because of what is overtaking them, they will “beat themselves in grief.”

Who are “those who pierced him”? Literally, Roman soldiers did this at the time of Jesus’ execution. But they have long been dead. So this must refer to people who similarly mistreat, or ‘pierce,’ Christ’s true followers during “the last days.”—Matt. 25:40, 45.
