Questions That Most People Ask about the Second Coming of Christ
In this article and the next few following, I will offer a
general compilation of the most often asked questions asked of
me over the years, and hopefully some sensible answers. Some
answers will have solid scriptural support while others my just
appeal to reason and good sense.
You could get some answers by punching up your questions on the
internet, perhaps on Ask Jeeves. You might want to confer with a
Harvard University theological professor if you thought you
would be getting a more valid answer. You may also just take a
more casual approach, by just waiting for the next TV special on
the subject and listen to the whole heavily opinionated body of
experts. They might range from scoffers and doubters to liberals
and conservatives and maybe a few crackpots and fanatics to
spice the pot. You may, or may not learn anything, and you may
escape sinking further into the swirling pool of confusion and
uncertainty you already feel is prevailing, more likely than not
you will be no more prepared than you were before.
The answers offered here are not infallible but they have a
backing of over thirty five years of study, examination,
revelation and hopefully a good smattering of common sense. The
only other thing I can offer is my assurance that God has given
me this particular calling and ministry. Whether any reader
accepts the weight of these things is a matter of choice for
them alone.
My choice has already been decided. First I would not dare to
call God a liar. Secondly I have nothing to prove and last, but
not least, it has clearly been required of me, and I must do
this as sure as I must take my next breath. I hear ever so
clearly these words every time I approach this subject... For
unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required:
and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the
more. Luke 12:48
Question What is the single worst belief or false doctrine of
all, concerning the second coming of Christ?
Answer The single worst thing that works against sound second
coming doctrine isn't a doctrine at all. It is indifference. The
business as usual lifestyle will be the chief reason millions
are not fully prepared for His return, not some controversial
doctrine. No one has made that clearer than Jesus. But as the
days of Noe were, so shall also the coining of the Son of man
be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were
eating and drinking. marrying and giving in marriage, until the
day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood
came and took them all away: so shall also the coming of the Son
of man he. Matthew 24: 37-39
In America the idea of preparedness is being replaced with the
idea of prosperity. Those in the continued hot pursuit of more
material goods, securities and life as usual will be shocked and
surprised at the sudden return of the Lord. Those who are
students of the second coming message and who are prayerfully
watching, will he surprised by nothing.
