Anticipating his return

The Return of Jesus ?

The “Second Coming of Christ” has been “accepted” as a non-negotiable event for centuries now by virtually all Christian groups. The apparent sureness of that happening as espoused by Global Christendom, however, is clearly thrown into question if we assess particular Scriptural statements with clear objectivity.

The quandary for the global Christian community is that The Bible simply does not support that eventuality. So, for the Christian of today who is perhaps looking in alarm at global events and wondering when The Son of God is coming to bring them salvation and enlightenment, the answer to that quandary lies in the following Scriptures.

Given by Jesus in reply to questions from His Disciples regarding the end-time. The singularly-strong aspect here is the clear statement that The One to come would instruct in all the Truth, meaning that Jesus had not done so. In other words, what He was able to give for that particular point in human spiritual evolution and have it at least basically understood, was just a part of the whole, not the complete thing.

This is so stated in John 16:12:

“I have still much more to tell you; but you are not able to bear it.”

In other words, even though instructed by The Son of God Himself to a far deeper level of knowledge than certainly any other human beings to that time, the greater degree of understanding that humankind still required could not be imparted to the Disciples then. It was simply too much for them to understand or assimilate.

Therefore another, The Other, would have to come and bring all The Truth.

“…because if I do not depart, the Helper will certainly not come to you; but when I depart, I will send Him to you. He, on His coming, will bring conviction to the world…”

— — And also:

“When, however, the Spirit of Truth Himself comes, He will instruct you in all the truth … He Himself will honour Me…”

(John 16:7-8 & 13-14, Fenton. Emphases mine.)
