Jesus is coming back to......?

Hello all
Is Jesus coming back to....

1) gather the righteous into an earthly millenial kingdom?

2) gather the wicked and Render to everyman according to his deeds and take us straight to the fathers house?

Below are some scriptures that deal with the latter.....(can someone else post scriptures on the former?)

"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.
4 "And you know the way where I am going."

"Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.
13 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."

14

It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones,
15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!
13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

"He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him--the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.
40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."

"Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,
31 "because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead."

I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:

"For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.
28 "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
6 who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS:
7 to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;
8 but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.
14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

"The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;
39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.
40 "So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age.
41 "The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,
42 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 "Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind;
48 and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 "So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous,
50 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

"But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.
32 "All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
33 and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.
34 "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world

..............

"Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;

For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,
8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
9 These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—for our testimony to you was believed.

The good news is that it appears we are heading for the fathers house and dont have to spend a 1000 years longer on this old rock.

Both 1 and 2.. but it would seem the fullness of 2 is not until 1 is complete.

The Kingdom of God is at Hand to all who seek it. Have faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, obey what he has commanded us to do on earth for he is our King. We must wait patiently, obediantly, and faithfully until he returns on the day of Judgement.

PROPHECYKID · Jun 16, 2008

I take number 2. The scriptures you gave are the reason. If we see everyman as equal in God's eyes then number 1 would be out of the picture. Israel was God's people when they were promised the kingdom on earth. Jesus came and spoke only about heaven.

We see that old testament prophecies focus on Israel in an earthly kingdom and new testament prophecies focus on saints in heaven. Of course many would come in this thread and quote some old testament prophecies to support their belief. I will quote many new testament passages and prophecies to support mine.

What we need to ask ourselves is why does it seem to be a difference in how things play out when the prophecy was first told to Israel and how it is told in the new testament. Jesus himself speaking to people knowledgable of those prophecies only spoke about heaven. Why is that? Have you asked yourself why? Why must I hold on to a few passages and others hold on to their and not attempt to understand why there is a difference?

Consider this.
Who were God's people when the Old testament prophecies were given?
It was the nation of Israel and many of the prophecies had to do with God giving them back their land and fighting against their enemies.

Who were God's people when most of the new testament passages and prophecies were given?

Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

It was no longer the children of Israel but anyone who accepts Christ. Why would God then have to protect Israel from their enemies? Why would he have to give them back their land when their Goal should be heaven. These prophecies were directed to them to show them how things would play out if they remained faithful to him. They did not.

To punish the Jews/Judeans for not believing in His Christ, Jesus?

Ezekiel 22:19 Therefore thus says my Lord YHWH: "Because to become of all of ye to drosses, therefore behold Me!, gathering ye to midst of Y@ruwshalaim . 20 Covening of silver and bronze and iron and lead and tin to midst of a furnace/oven, to blow of on him fire to fuse of . So I shall gather in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave and fuse ye. 21 And I collect ye and I blow on ye in fire of My rage, and ye are fused in midst of her. 22 As fusion of silver in midst of a furnace, so ye shall be fused in midst of her. And ye know that I YHWH pour out My fury on ye.' "

Reve 16:8 And the fourth one pours out the bowl of him on the Sun and it was given to him to scorch the mankind in fire. 9 And are scorched the men, heat, great, and they blaspheme the name of the GOD, the One having the authority on the stripes/blows, these, and not they repent to give to Him glory.

How do you interpret the following texts.

Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Rev 19:12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Rev 19:19 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.
Rev 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev 19:21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Rev 19:18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

Rev 6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Are these all Jews?

Both 1 and 2.. but it would seem the fullness of 2 is not until 1 is complete

1)- cannot be completed, because of what 2) says.

"The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness,
42 and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 "Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH AS THE SUN in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

If This all happens when Christ comes again, and judges everyman accordingly, then this is an event that happens after Revelations millenium isnt it?

For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,
8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

You are very misled if you are not swayed by what ProphecyKid was posting. I have no need to post scriptures because he already posted the best ones to disprove that stupid belief. Jesus is NOT coming to punish ONLY the Jews.

I am an Orthodox Preterist and I believe most of Revelation is already fulfilled. The Judgement and Wraths did occur on the Jews/Judeans in Judea.
Now we just have to prove to the Jews JESUS did indeed finish it for them.
Btw, what do ya think about those that view themselves in that 1000yr period already such as the Catholics and some other denominations?

Revelation 22:12 And behold!, I am coming swiftly and the wages/misqoV <3408> of Me with Me, to render to each as the work is of him

2 Timothy 4:1 Thru-witnessing then I, before the GOD and the Lord Jesus Christ, of the being-about to be judging living and dead, according as the appearance/manifestation of Him and the Kingdom of Him

Reve 11:18 And the nations are angered, and came Thy wrath, and the Time of the dead to be judged, and to give the wages/misqon <3408> to Thy Bond-servants, the prophets, and to the Saints, and to those fearing Thy name, the small, and the great. And to blight the ones blighting the land

Revelation is not about the Jews. Revelation is about the saints/ non-saints.

If ya want to get technical, the first wraths/reward happen to the Judeans first.

The event after the 1000yrs are most likely the non-Judeans, or don't you believe Paul here

Romans 2:9 Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man of the one effecting the evil, of Judean besides first, and of greek;

Romans 2:10 Glory yet and honour/value and peace to every the one working the good, to Judean besides first, and to greek:

Who are those in Luke 21:28?

Reve 9:11 and they are having on them a king, the messenger of the abyss, name to him to-Hebrew, Abaddon/abaddwn <3>, and in the greecian name he is having Destroyer/whole-looser/apo-lluwn <623>. [Exodus 12:23]

Luke 21:28 Beginning yet to-be-becoming these-things, up-bend!, and lift up! the heads of ye, thru-that is nearing the loosing/apo-lutrwsiV <629> of ye [Daniel 12/Reve 19,20]
