so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. Hebrews 9:28
Yes, Jesus will appear to each of us again. That is 2 COR 5:10 which says:
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
That judgment is after we die:Hebrews 9:27
27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,
So we see Jesus for the second tme after we physically die. The first time we 'SAW' Him was His earthly ministry where we learned of His gospel.
He returns to put an end to all the evil rule and authority on earth, and reign as King over the whole earth.
The return of Jesus to planet earth is a man made story. There is no mention of an earthly reurn of Jesus anywhere in the bible in a physical situation. Jesus will return to each of us believers after our death, Hebrews 9:27 and:
John 14
2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
That is said in 1 Thess 4:17 also:
17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
There we see believers being caught up to be in the cloud in the air WITH the Lord forever. Which is in one of the rooms in heaven forever, NOT on earth for any time.
Verified again from the bible in 2 COR 5:1 which says:
For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens.
20 But now Christ is risen from the dead,
and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man
came death, by Man also
came the resurrection of the dead. 22
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. 23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24
Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 1 Corinthians 15:20-24
Do you believe that Jesus Christ has come again, appearing a second time, and put an end to all rule and authority?
I know He has. The great trib was the Judean rebellion and the coming of the Lord is right after that. Jesus, Himself predicted that John , Andrew, James and Peter would see the abomination that preceded those things;
Mark 13:
14 “But when
you see the abomination of desolation standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.
The YOU of that sentence are identified here:
3 As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately,
Jesus had authority over all things back in the days of Matthew as we read here:
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Certain denominations teach that Jesus will physically return to earth and develop the ultimate eternal life here. He will not. The utopia for the believer is Heaven and that became available to all believers shortly after the cross as the PAROUSIA of Jesus took place as the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. Jesus returned in the spiritual realm only, NOT physically to planet earth.
Have you physically died, and risen from the dead, now having a physical body that will never die?
I had an NDE but missed the total death by.... not much!
When we physical die and raise from the dead we do not have a physical body. we have a spiritual body which is invisible to mortals and suitable for eternal life IN heaven. Again certain denominations teach a physical eternity but the bible is very clear it is not.
The verse which verify that are above, ending with 2 COR 5:1.
Colossians 1:5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel
