What Jesus Said About His Second Coming.

Who is God?

Someone who gives us direction and warnings so we will be saved.

My granddaughter has a wonderful boyfriend. He was born in Israel but moved to Canada when he was 12. We got to talking about ISIS, and I said I had learned they were waiting for Jesus to return and help them. I had been very surprised at that.

Jon, Cherish's boyfriend, told me all Muslims await the return of Jesus. Also, the Jews await the Messiah, and he said they don't care if it is Jesus or not - just so he comes to help them. I was stunned by this also.

I said, "The Evangelical Christians are waiting for Jesus to come too." So, it seems to me this is an important subject since all these people are waiting for Jesus to return, but for different reasons. Jesus said this was an important topic too.

Jesus made it clear, in no uncertain terms, how he would return to earth. He warned us,

"So be on your guard; I have told you everything in advance." Mark 13:23

"See, I have told you beforehand."  Matthew 24:25

Jesus said:
“If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.
“But in those days, following that distress,
“ ‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’c
“At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens."
Mark 13:20-27



“If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.

“So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.
“Immediately after the distress of those days
“ ‘the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’b
“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Matthew 24:22-31

Who am I?

Someone who is also waiting for Jesus to return.
