Matthew chapter 24. |

To answer the OP's question:
Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord,
Act 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
Act 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive UNTIL the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
What was spoken by the prophets of old. When that message is received again, restored, Messiah will return.
Peace.

BMS --
Do you see any signs of progress in the church...any reason to hope the church is on the way to becoming a "pure" bride "without blemish"? Any signs of the Body of Christ becoming more unified?.
What I see is... many falling away...the times seem to fit II Thess 2: 3-4(NKJV)
Let no one deceive you by any means, for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
I see conditions today as more conducive to the "man of sin" revealing himself than world-wide revival. |

I am unsure , but i think he will come back
in the yaars 2000's or before - but hidden because of privacy reasons, i think some thinks he will be reincarnated from canada and the us , isla de jesus , de la magdalene ...
i also think le tamplaire or les chavalier du dieu ( dieux ) might know it , or knew -
i also feel after 2000 years or about he should have come after jesus 1 , jesus 2 also called yoshua or david -
The simbol might be an eagle , jonatan , aigle , a falcon - 006 007 009
Come and visit Venice , Veneto and Milan

There is nothing that has to happen before the Lord comes back for the Church.One must remember that the signs point to his second coming at the battle of Armeggedon,not to the rapture. |

Using OT/NT chronological order it lines up as Post tribulation:
Birth pains
Established one-world government/
prior to the Antichrist's 8th beast government.
The Jewish temple in Jerusalem rebuilt/
Observance of OT commandments concerning animal sacrifices reinstated.
a great falling away Anti-Christ will be revealed. Peace Treaty in Israel. Trampling of Jersualem by Gentiles. Image of beast set up in tenple.
Tribulation period -Cosmic signs then Rapture Day! |

No, not in the clouds anyway. If all we need is 'grace' then He could come anytime, but then why hasn't He come already then? Because the Bride is not ready and the 144K have not been sealed and the time of trouble has not started. |

From what I understand there are some things that still needs to be completed. I could go do some studying on that right now, but I don't want to. |

To answer this question simply no. Acccording to Ephs. 5 :25-27 He is coming back for a church without blemish. The church is to jacked up and disunified right now for Him to come back. I wanted a pure bride whe I got married, why should Jesus have anything less. Once the church as the Body of Christ get unified maybe. We need to spend more time focusing on what & why He is coming back for then when He is coming back. |

There is a doctrine called The Immanent Return of Christ. In other words Jesus could be at any time. Jesus taught this: Matthew 25:13, "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." as did other NT writers: ie James 5:7-8, "Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. ...; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh." |

BMS, All it takes is a satallite dish and tv set. Anyone could have those "remote villages" connected to the world within a day.
Personally I think that the Olivet Discourse that Christ gave us is specific to the second-coming at the end of the tribulation and is given in reference to Israel. The rapture is not found in the Olivet Discourse because it pertains to the Church, not Israel. I think that the technology reaching these places will be in the latter half of the tribulation. |

Leave the wicked alone. It is the job of the church to judge sin in the church. As a child of the King I have the right to judge and I will mess with the wicked as it is my job to. That very comment proves why the church is messed up and why He aint coming back for awhile. |
|
---BMS on 7/24/06 |
Take heart, BMS. God always has his faithful. Leave the wicked alone. God will separate them when He comes-Mt 13:25-30. |

Geoff, Yes we have witnessed to a lot of people and groups here are some statistics though. 6.5 billion people only 4 million clame to be born again. Their are still remote villiages that do not have modern technonolgy. So we have not reached all the earth. IT is going to be sometime. |

I know the bible says watch and be ready and we need to becuase he is goign to come back at an hour when we lest expect. Their are people out here living holy righteous lives, but Christ want a bride not a whore. Right now the church has so many demons in it. The church needs some deliverance first so that we can build a foundation for the world to stand on. |
|
---BMS on 7/21/06 |
I here what people are saying, but their is to much politcal mandering and self serving attitudes in the church. The church statically speaking is far worse then the world. The church is supposed to be the ones setting the culutre but as christian we are now a sub culutre. |

---BMS on 7/21/06 |
Steven, the truth is the gospel has been throughout the world several times over. Still, there remain those who haven't heard. We serve a God of mercy, but He will one day cut the time short in righteousness and eveyone will know. We are in the last days and all the signs have been fulfilled. Let's live ready and get as many ready as the Lord allows us. Maranatha! |
|
---Geoff on 7/21/06 |
When the Second Advent will come is subject to debate, but nobody can deny that Jesus will come for him/her at any moment. |
|
---Jack on 7/21/06 |
Jesus can come back at any time. |

---Helen_5378 on 7/20/06 |
The Gospel must first be published among all nations. Plus all the other prophecies in which the frequency increases like the birth pangs of a women about to deliver a baby - like earthquakes, famines, race against race. Israel becomes a nation and when Jereusalam becomes the focal point of the world. The rebuilding of the temple where Satan will sit and claim he is God. But fear not, all these things must happen before Jesus return. Just live a Godly life in your community. |
|
---Steven on 7/20/06 |
I'm sorry BMS but I really need to disagree with you despite my inexpertise in scriptural knowledge. If Christ were to come back for a church without blemish His return would never happen. There is no righteousness outside of Christ. His bride is only pure and spotless due to Him. Not what we as a church need to accomplish first. Humanly imposible. Praise God! |
|
---tony on 7/20/06 |
My understanding of the Bible is that we need the revelation of Antichrist and Tribulation first (no pre-trib rapture or earthly millennium).
Ultimately, the only thing needed is for the Father to say, "Today is the day, and this is the moment." |

---Jack on 7/20/06 |
BMS, didn't God tell Gideon he saved 300 for himself?
What makes you think God hasn't been gathering a remant, a people for His own possession? What makes you think there aren't people out there who are leading Holy lives? To categorize the church in the way you did shows you don't see with your spiritual eyes, and you don't understand spiritual things. Now I know all of the legalists are going to argue with me...lol. |
|
---TruthfulOne on 7/20/06 |
Yes Jesus can come back at this very moment. The bible says that we no not the hour, and that he will come like a theif in the night. We need to be ready, not get ready but be ready at all times. |

The second coming has the two parts. The first part being when he returns in the air and gathers the believers, both those who are alive and those who are dead.(This is the rapture) the second part has to do with Jesus touching down on the Mount Olives, and the dividing of the goat and sheep nations. The first part can happen at any moment. |
|
---mima on 7/20/06 |
As Bruce correctly stated, even at the time of the writing of the Scriptures people were taught to live as though it could happen now. If it couldn't have happened then that would be misleading. Is there anything else to be completed? Yes. ll Thes.2 shows clearly that the Anti Christ must first be revealed. This, of course, could have and can happen any time. |
