Thanks guys.
Im still wondering how everyone on earth will be able to see Him coming down from the clouds.
Surely we won't see Him if He comes down on the other side of the world or if we are asleep
And with the media being so anti-Christian can we rely on them to deliver the message to everyone

Well He is Jesus, so prepare to be wowed, :p

Jesus won't need the media to make sure everyone knows he has returned. I don't know just how he will accomplish this but then we don't need that information now. When it happens we will understand.

"At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.
So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it". Matthew 24:23-26



The confusing thing in the passage above is that Jesus is telling us not to believe when someone comes with signs and wonders claiming to be the Son of God.
How then will we know? How can we be sure?

Jesus performed many miracles but there were still people who didn't believe him
In a world filled with so much deception it's hard to believe anything

The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie. 2 Thessalonians 2:9

The evil one is quite capable of performing signs and wonders. He masquerades as an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:13

It will be very hard to know for sure if the person claiming to be the Son of God really is.

Many people believe that the age of apostleship ended after St Paul and reject any prophet and/or revelations which occur after it.
This view makes it impossible to accept Christ when he returns
The antichrist will just show up.

Jesus Christ will be seen coming from heaven by every human.

Zech 14 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.

No mistaking them.

it's easy imo to get drawn into prognosticating and divining, like you are doing, so while i dont blame you i do suggest that what you are saying is not true, and will not come to pass in the literal way you infer. You will see Him come down the same way you saw Him go up right? Every eye will see Him surely means that those who are still using their "eyes" rather than their "eye" are going to be disappointed

if someone reads some Scripture and then says "_____ will happen tomorrow" they are fortune-tellers, ok, regardless of how sincere or earnest they are. Jesus is not "returning" in some magical pagan display of miracle, even if every eye will see Him, you will see Him come down the same way you saw Him go up bc Christ is Spirit surely?

When He returns, the blind shall ALL see etc.

This is called the Millennial Reign of Christ when the works of the devil are eradicated.

Matthew 24:17
For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

God's coming will be a sight that all will see and behold.
or, people tend to come to understanding of a concept "in a flash," so to speak, and that "lightning" comes from "the East" and flashes to us in "the West" bc we do not eat the manna what is it? but rather we speak in facts about things we do not understand, and are thus drawn in to divining, "God's coming will be a sight that all will see and behold," which violates a whole bunch of Scripture ok, no offense

Code shmode.

Jesus is omnipresent.

Everyone will see him, and there shall then be one Lord and His name one.

Confusion will vanish when that which is perfect is come(Reign of Christ on earth).

The lame, blind and mentally disturbed will all be instantly healed around the earth.

No more pandemics either.

All demons banished.

so, ok with me if you believe that, but it most likely is not ever going to happen like you are imagining and divining, ok?

You cannot Quote "Jesus Returns" see, but you are comfy saying "when He does what i am expecting the literally blind WILL do such-and-such, This IS called such and such," like that? But wadr Your bargain with the grave will be annulled, and when the overwhelming scourge passes through you will be trampled ok, is that what you want? He who says he knows, does not

Jesus is omnipresent.
well, Christ is anyway, and honest i wish you the best in your quest for immortality, but it is not Christian, and you do not know

Jesus is not literally returning, and has in any event already refused the literal crown like twice, right. No two-eyed ppl will ever see Christ, which is why you also cannot Quote "everyone will see Him" wadr

" Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
"And
many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." Matthew 24:11-27
Here's an example of a false prophet standing in the office of a prophet. An anti Christ is a pseudo Christ ( a like Christ)

well, i have no idea, we do not yet know what we will become, but my current theory is that the Q is moot anyway, once we identify with Spirit rather than ego? But really we are supposed to have already "died" anyway, right? So imo the Q is mooted again, bc someone who has already "died" to self would not be wondering about what happens after they have "died" i guess. Any three year old can be consulted to verify this concept i think

an unbeliever in the Cult of Sol Invictus and Death More Abundantly anyway, yes. And as to "believer," wadr i can demonstrate in about five minutes what you actually "believe" if you are open to it; "beliefs" are not provable, right? Thats why we call them "beliefs" and not "facts" or "truths?" So i'll ask "what would it take to get you to believe that Jesus is not, ever, returning?" If Yah Himself came down and told you that "Jesus" was not going to literally "return," would that work or no?

Totally agreed. I used to watch all of them back in the early 90's...none of it set right with me so...of course I felt I was not saved. But God was not finished with me yet...one would think when attending, for the first time to one of those places, with no real understanding, that I would have just written Christianity off for good BUT...I was almost immediately led to another Church and have been growing the best I can since. These false prophets and teachers obviously have no clue about what God has in store for them!

I personally don't believe it's possible to fool the elect of God, but for those whom aren't elect this is a banquet.

I can prove things to you, but never convince you.

Why, because you are fake news.....LOL

i understand why you feel divining is acceptable, but i would at least consider why you cannot hold up your end here, and have to resort to condemnation?

You can prove stuff, but you cant answer a question?

We will either see Jesus when we leave this world as believers or when He comes back to get us all there on the white colt/horse.
