RETURN IS WHEN

RETURN IS WHEN?

It is a question of time!

"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." Matt. 24:36  God does have a time for the return of His Son – the Second Coming.

But that time has been set in relation to the genuine response of Israel. This will be in accordance to Jewish wedding practices. The groom is away fixing the bridal house at the Father’s residence. See article Jewish Wedding.

His coming will bring fulfillment of all things spoken by the prophets. Acts 3:19b “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.” As well as the restitution of all things Acts 3:21-26 “Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.” Cf. Isa. 35:1-10.

This very reoffer of the Kingdom had been foretold in a parable. Matt. 22:1-13.

But Israel still didn’t take the offer. But one day it will and then the Mediatorial Kingdom will be established on this earth, and only after suffering 7 years of tribulation yet to come. See Matt. 24:29-30  "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
