First and Second coming?

[MatthewG]

The First Coming

The first coming of Jesus was when Yahavah sent His Word into the world:

• The Word was with God and was God
• The Word was made flesh
• This happened when Mary was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit


That’s the incarnation — the moment the Word of Yahavah entered human history in bodily form.

This is the first coming, the one everyone agrees on.

The Second Coming

Because the first coming was the incarnation, there is only one other coming Scripture speaks of — the second.

And the second coming is always described as:

• For that generation
• Seen by those watching and waiting
• A coming in judgment and kingdom
• A coming tied to the end of the Old Covenant age, not the end of the physical world


This is exactly why Hebrews says:

“To those who were eagerly waiting for Him, He appeared a second time…”
— Hebrews 9:28

Not to the whole world.
Not to every nation.
Not to people thousands of years later.

To those waiting.

From First Coming According to AI... In Christian theology, the first coming of Christ refers to His incarnation, earthly ministry, death, and resurrection. It began with His miraculous birth to the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem and culminated in His ascension into heaven, fulfilling ancient biblical prophecies to save humanity from sin. The first coming encompasses several specific stages and events:

The Incarnation & Birth: Jesus, the Son of God, took on human form. He was born in Bethlehem in Judea, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies (such as Micah 5:2 and Isaiah 7:14).
Earthly Ministry: Jesus lived a sinless life and traveled throughout Israel teaching, performing miracles, and presenting the message of the kingdom of God.
The Passion, Death & Resurrection: He was crucified on the cross as an ultimate sacrifice for humanity's sins, was buried in a tomb, and resurrected from the dead three days later.
The Ascension: Forty days after His resurrection, Jesus visibly ascended into heaven, marking the end of His first bodily presence on earth.

The First Coming - Christmas Morning
The Second Coming - Who knows? - But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. - Mark 13:32

I believe this is nothing but pure arrogance.

Thank you for sharing what you believe, Rocktopva. Sorry we have such an contention between us, however there is no reason to be rude. I read your latest thread and think the chemist guy was right. All I am doing is sharing what the bible states about it.

How is that arrogant?
Are you going by feeling, or is that the holy spirit telling you those things?
Is God telling you to say these things? Just curious questions.

When I read the Gospels, I see that the Old Testament foretold that a Messiah was coming (Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6; Micah 5:2). That Messiah came, born of Mary who was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35), and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). That same Jesus also claimed that He would come again (John 14:3; Matthew 16:27–28).
