So then you do not believe that Jesus Christ will physically return someday soon to set up the Millennium Reign of Christ, otherwise known as the Kingdom Age?
Joshua David
As He has proven by coming to us a person in the flesh, Christ Jesus can return as a singular male individual as you say — I believe it. I do believe, now, that Christ Jesus is in those who believe now, therefore, I believe He "is" come in the flesh — not only "has come", but, "is come" in the flesh of His body — we who believe are His body. Christ Jesus is here now and He is the Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world. Christ Jesus is here now and is coming to those who do not yet believe. No person knows the day, however, when all on earth will believe and there will be a rest for all — I see no reason Christ Jesus would not be able to return as a singular male individual on that day. My personal labor is to "first" seek the Kingdom of God by telling all about the coming Kingdom. Moreover, that Christ Jesus, the Lamb of God, is the Light and the Glory and the temple of God in the Holy City that is now in the process of coming to the earth.
Heb 4:
1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Rev 21:
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Because I see this in reality, I do not look for the Kingdom here or there — when two or three come together in His name Christ Jesus is there and manifest in their mortal flesh — the temple of God amongst men. I see Christ Jesus on this earth and in the flesh of those who believe. I do not seek the things of the earth — I seek those things which are above.
Col 3:
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
Though I know He may return as a singular male individual, I do not seek Christ Jesus in the flesh:
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
My hope is that I have not offended you or any other...
