  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What would cause human beings to want to attack the incoming (return of) Jesus Christ?
Almost every person on the earth knows or has heard of Jesus Christ , and most non Christians see him as either a great prophet or a great teacher of moral values. So why try to kill him when he comes back on the clouds to this earth?

For the same reason some wanted him killed 2000 years ago... he threatens the power of man and the spiritual forces behind them.

If they think they have the Messiah leading them already... In the end times there will be a great deception.. I believe many will believe that the anti-christ is the Messiah and will worship him as God on earth..

The teachings of Islam. Muslim teaching warns of the coming of a Judeo-Christian false prophet and a false "Jesus" whom they refer to in their eschatology as "the Dajjal."

Because at that time, near the end of the 7 years, the world we see Jesus are the enemy to mankind, as they will have been seduced by the beast's claim of being God and his blasphemy against everyone in heaven.

Your question reveals a problem with the traditional interpretation of "Armageddon". The problem is that most people think Armageddon is a physical battle.

Please note that during the 2nd coming of Christ the kings and the armies of the world will know it so it is no secret. The kings and their armies will be prepared to battle Jesus at Armageddon because they refuse Jesus who will claim back the earth.

Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
(Armageddon battle)

Rev 19:19 (they know Jesus is coming)
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

However, the timing of the rapture is not known and only Father knows.
Matt 24:36 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man

When Jesus appears on the cloud be4 the grief Tribulation to rapture His saints the whole world will wail:
Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.

that day - \is not the rapture

Start at Matthew 24:35 - Heaven and earth shall pass..."

Is that when you think the rapture of the church will happen?

Do you read any indication in this verse that heaven and earth have passed when the world see Jesus coming on the cloud :

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.

When Jesus appears on the cloud be4 the grief Tribulation to rapture His saints the whole world will wail

But on the 2nd coming of Christ the kings and armies of the world will know and battle him at Armageddon.

Regardless of the timing, There are millions of people all over the world who don't want Him in spirit, never mind in person and ruling the world.
Well who would they be?....obviously nobody I know.

Who said its not?
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
