The second personal coming of Jesus

If Jesus has been with the church for 2,000 years, why did he promise to come again?

Pentecost was NOT the second advent.

At the time of our Lord’s second presence, the world will be far from converted to God.

Buddhism

Witnessing to the world does not imply the conversion of the world.

What is the main object of the gospel now?

The first advent REDEEMS.

The second advent RESTORES.

The period betweenthe advents is forthe development of the church.

The selection
of the church...

The reason for the apparent delay in blessings.

The Church’s mission is to witness.

God has not yet even attempted the world’s conversion.

A future restitution for every man, woman and child...

"Rightly dividing the word of truth"

Two lines of thought divide Christians:

Election

Vs.

Free Grace

God’s selection
of Israel is a type of the great work for the world.

"I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." 
Matthew 10:5,6

God’s gift is unlimited.

The Second Adam and the Second Eve

"The Spirit and the Bride say, Come!"

Those in the tomb are prisoners of hope.

The majority of mankind have never heard of Jesus.

What has become of the multitudes who have died?

What is their condition?

Arminianism

Christ is the only basis for salvation.

Peter's Faith

The Gospel sent to the Gentiles

Will ignorance save men?

The Law did not bring life to Israel

Many Christians wrongly say that God will not condemn the ignorant.

God has a blessing for all, a better way.

What will happen to the heathen?

In due time, there will be full knowledge AND appreciation.

How will the "good tidings of great joy" be to
"ALL PEOPLE"?

Why is mankind in a condition of suffering?

"God is love."

Every man has not yet been enlightened.

Was redemption a failure?

"Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to ALL PEOPLE."
Luke 2:10

Will all benefit from Christ’s death?

The key is the ransom: "To be testified IN DUE TIME."

The Crucifixion

Does death end all hope?

How will "all men" come to know the truth?

The two Adams
of the Bible--
Adam and Jesus.

God will not give everlasting life
against man’s will.

Simeon and Jesus

A general salvation and the special salvation.

True light will eventually enlighten every man.

Restoration of Israel

Ezekiel’s Vision – Valley of Dry Bones

God says to Israel,

"Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

"And ye shall know that I am the Lord, when I ... shall put my spirit in you, and I shall place you in your own land;

"Then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord."   Ezekiel 37:11-14

Menorah in Israel

Israel’s promises have wide application.

Restitution is promised for all mankind, including the people of Sodom.

The "New Covenant."

Salt at the Dead Sea near the Area of Sodom and Gomorrah

Ruins at Area
of Sodom

Every member of the human race has a place in God’s plan.

Slaying of the Amalekites

Christ returns to open the doors of the grave.

Promises of God are a certainty –
"Confirmed to
God in Christ."

The Old Law Covenant will be replaced with a New Covenant

Israel is beloved for their fathers’ sakes.

Father Abraham

God’s thoughts
and plans are above our own.

Distortions of truths.

Calvinism says God is wise and all powerful, but ignores love and justice.

Armenianism says God is loving and just, but ignores wisdom and power.

God is the Master of His purposes.

Rejoice!
Your deliverance draweth nigh!
