Anyone know what cult believes this?
It does not shake my faith in God's Word.
Just find it absurd how anyone could want to believe it.
Some are just rebellious by nature, and when not controlled by the Spirit,
will grab onto something that they know is contrary, just to get a rise out
of upsetting simple-minded rigid thinking Christians whom they dislike.
My faith in Christ is unshakable, What he said is 100% certain, it is why i follow only Him and No one else. I have heard this only once before, people think jesus came around 70 AD then Jerusalem was destroyed, it just conforms that the prophecy of Jesus was accurate and certain about the temple that not one stone would be left upturned and as predicted it happened. it is evident from scripture that Jesus return would be at the end times and also every eye would see him. this clearly has not happened
Jesus' own words about His return make it clear that His coming will be a visible, dramatic event. In Matthew 24:29-31, He says, "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." This event will be visible to all people, not something hidden or secret.
In Matthew 24:36-39, Jesus compares His return to the days of Noah, saying, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." His return will be sudden and disrupt the normal course of life, a clear event that no one can miss.
In Luke 17:24-26, He says, "For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man." His return will be as visible as lightning, visible to everyone from one end of heaven to the other.
In Acts 1:9-11, when Jesus ascended into heaven, two men in white apparel said to the disciples, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." Just as Jesus ascended visibly, so He will return in a similar manner. This contradicts any idea of a hidden or spiritualized return.
Revelation 1:7 says, "Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen." Every eye will see Jesus when He returns, indicating that His return will not be a secret or hidden event.
Matthew 25:31-32 describes the return of Jesus as a time when "all the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats." This judgment will involve all nations and is not a quiet or hidden event.
In Revelation 19:11-16, we see a vivid portrayal of Jesus’ return on a white horse: "Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." His return will be public, glorious, and full of power, bringing judgment on the nations.
In Matthew 24:23-26, Jesus warns, "Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it." If someone claims Jesus has already returned in some hidden or isolated place, this is a clear sign of false teaching. His return will not be a matter of seeking Him in hidden places but will be visible to all.
