Signs For The Second Coming
Of Christ
Signs
that represent that Christ will return
to the e
arth point to the revelation of
Christ known as the second coming, and
not the rapture of the Church. The
rapture will precede the second
coming seven years earlier. In the
rapture, Jesus will appear suddenly in
the air and remove the Church from the
earth (1
Thessalonians 4:13,18). This
will happen in the twinkling of an eye (1
Corinthians 15:52). The second
coming will be an event that results in
Christ coming to the earth visibly with
His Bride, the Church.
The
signs that point to the second coming
will come into full fruition during the
Great Tribulation, a period of seven
years that will commence off the heels
of the rapture and conclude with Christ
visible and physical return on earth.
There
will be very direct signs during the
seven year Tribulation that will make it
obvious that Christ is Coming.
However, there are no signs for the
Rapture. This is important to
understand. The Rapture applies to
the Church and not Israel. The
Church does not conduct her affairs on
earth by signs and wonders. We do
not live by sight; but faith, which
cometh by hearing and not seeing (2
Corinthians 5:7). The Rapture
of the Church is imminent, it could
happen now.
The
Bible leaves no room or justification
for predicting the Second Coming of
Christ. We just don't know when
He will come. However, there
are indications that suggest Christ's
return to restore Israel and establish
His millennial reign may be in the very
near future. These are:
-
Israel's return to the Land Promised
to Her.
-
Lawlessness is abounding.
-
Apostasy will be well entrenched.
-
A
Religious appetite for an ecumenical
one world church.
-
The rapid physical decline of the
world via: war, earth quakes,
and potential human annihilation of
which all will require Christ's
return before these events run their
determined course and bring the
world to an end.
While
it is true, that many awful things are
happening even in our day... they do not
compare to the awful things that will
happen during the Great Tribulation
(Matthew
24:21).
The
blessed hope of the Church is the
imminent return of Christ to take the
Church home before the Great
Tribulation. The blessed hope of
Israel is the Second Coming of Her
Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ.
