Will the Second Coming be a messiah to Muslims and Jews too as well as Christians?

[Luke631]

Title. I think He will be.

Edit: I guess it's *the messiah.

 

[SeventyOne]

He IS the Messiah, but when He returns, He will be the savior of some and the judge to others.

Yeah, but I think the Muslims will find Him their savior too and Jews will think He is the prophet they're awaiting. At least in my theory.

Not likely since they worship the demon spirit of antichrist.

They aren't looking for Jesus. They are looking for who the scriptures call the beast.

 

[Luke631]

They aren't looking for Jesus. They are looking for who the scriptures call the beast.

Where does it say that in the Bible?

Once He returns there won't be a single person that doesn't know who He is. They learn that soon enough. What puzzles me about your theory, why is it that everyone else has to already be saved before He comes, or before they die, which ever might come first, while there are some that don't need to already be saved before He comes, but can be saved after He comes instead?

Don't you find it odd that some Jews are still looking for the first coming of the Messiah, while other Jews are no longer looking for the first coming, but are now looking for the 2nd coming instead? To the former the 2nd coming might appear to them to be the first coming since they deny the first coming has already happened. By them denying the first coming they are also denying the one who already came.

This doesn't mean there can't be a national repentence by unbelieving Jews at some point, but that it would have to be before the 2nd coming, and not after instead. IOW, God does something so profound concerning them, that they as a nation can no longer deny that the Messiah they are still waiting on has already come and is coming again. IMO, Ezekiel 38 and 39 is perhaps the profound that might get the job done.

Where does it say that in the Bible?

For the Jews, John 5:43.

Since there weren't any Muslims until a number of centuries after the scriptures were written, there wouldn't be any mention of them specifically, but there have been numerous studies done comparing the characteristics of their expected Mahdi with those of the Antichrist, showing they are the same person. It shouldn't take you long to find a few. Even in their eschatology, Jesus returns with the Mahdi fulfilling the role that we would call the False Prophet.

Muslims abiding in the Quran do not view Jesus as Messiah ... they view him as a prophet ... an NOT Messiah ... they do not see them as their savior.

Anyone (regardless or ethnic/origin.. etc) who has accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior will be saved when He returns and the 1st resurrection happens .... the rest are the lost and will be raised in the 2nd resurrection and will be destroyed for eternity.

It's all about one's relationship with Jesus.
