The Corruption in the World Demands It
• When you think of me as a Man Being Out of Place in this World of Society Socially. – Keep in Mind that I Donald L Johnson take this World Seriously as being a Very Wicked Place with its Lackadaisical Unconcerned Society of Unbelievers, but not to worry, because the Bible says that when the "SON of Man [Comes] in the Glory of HIS FATHER with HIS Angels ... [HE] Will Recompense Every Man According to His Deeds" (Matthew 16:27). "An Hour is Coming, in which All who are in Their Tombs Shall Hear HIS Voice, and Shall Come Forth; those who did the Good Deeds to a Resurrection of Life, those who Committed the Evil Deeds to a Resurrection of Judgment" (John 5:28-29).
• CHRIST'S Earthly Teaching was filled with references to HIS Second Coming (Matthew 24; Luke 21). When HE was on Trial for HIS Life, JESUS Defended HIS Own Deity with a Bold Declaration of the Second Coming in the most Triumphant Terms. HE told the High Priest, "You will see the SON of Man Sitting at the Right Hand of Power, and Coming with the Clouds of Heaven" (Mark 14:62).
• That Blessed Hope of Every Believer (Titus 213:) is the Terror of the World. For Unbelievers, HIS Coming Means Immediate, Impartial Judgment (1 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Jude 1:14-15; Revelation 19:11-16); for Believers--Unmitigated Joy! JESUS Must Return in order to Execute just Retribution on Sinners and Carry Out the Judgment HE Has Promised.
The Testimony of the Holy Spirit Demands It
• Since "GOD ... Cannot Lie" (Titus 1:2), HIS Promise Guarantees CHRIST'S Return. JESUS is Truth Incarnate (John 14:6); so HIS Teaching also Infallibly Confirms the Fact of the Second Coming. and the Holy Spirit, who is Called "the Spirit of truth" (John 14:17; 15:26), also Testifies of the Second Coming of CHRIST through the New Testament Writers.
• Whether the Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 1:47-; Colossians 3:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; etc.), the Apostle Peter (1 Peter 1:13; 1 Peter 5:4; 2 Peter 3), or the Apostle John (1 John 3:2), again and again, through the Inerrant Scriptures, the Holy Spirit adds HIS Witness to that of the FATHER and the SON--JESUS is Coming.
The Destruction of Satan Demands It
• Satan, though an Already-Defeated Foe as Far as Christians Are Concerned, Still Exercises a Kind of Dominion Over This World (John 12:31; John 14:30; John 16:11; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:2; Ephesians 6:12; 1 John 5:19). But CHRIST is the only Rightful Ruler Of This World, and when HE Returns, HE Will Overthrow and Destroy Satan Completely.
• In Revelation 5, when CHRIST Receives the Seven-Sealed Scroll, the Title Deed of the Earth, HE Unleashes Judgment with the Crack of each Seal (Revelation 6). The Seal Judgments Give Way to the Judgment of the Seven Trumpets (Revelation 8); the Trumpet Judgments Lead to the Judgment of the Seven Bowls (Revelation 16). Finally, after one Last-Ditch Effort by Satan to Retain His Unlawful Dominion over the Earth, CHRIST HIMSELF Returns to Vanquish the Foe--HE Chains Him, Casts Him Into a Bottomless Pit, and finally Confines Him to an Eternal Lake of Fire (Revelation 19). With that, CHRIST'S Victory over Satan the Usurper is Complete.
The Hope of the Saints Demands It
• Only CHRIST'S Glorious, Triumphant Return can Fulfill the Hope of the Saints--Every True Believer Longs for that day. Paul Characterizes Christians as those who "Love HIS Appearing" (2 Timothy 4:8). The Apostle John says, "Now We Are Children of GOD; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when HE is Revealed, We Shall Be Like HIM, for We Shall See HIM as HE Is" (1 John 3:2). The Return of CHRIST Will Instantly Usher In The Fullness of our Glorification.
• John then adds these Words: "And Everyone Who Has This Hope in HIM Purifies Himself, just as HE is Pure" (v. 3). This is the Test of a Healthy Eschatology: Is your Hope a Sanctifying Influence on your Soul? Are You Looking Beyond the Commotion of this World with the Realization That You Could Soon Meet CHRIST Face to Face, and Are You Preparing Your Heart and Soul For That? Are You Eager and Watchful? Are You Filled with Joyful Hope and Expectation? That is the Attitude to which Scripture calls us.
• The Second Coming is not Supposed to make you once and for allstop what you're doing to wait for the LORD'S Return. And neither should it motivate you to focus all your attention on the events and political developments of this World. Instead, it should prompt you to Holiness as you Direct Your Heart Toward CHRIST, Whose Coming every Believer Anticipates With Joy .
• Poetically, make No Mistake, because HE'S Coming – like a Thief in the Night – to End this Fight – Once and for All and All at Once – Hell Bound – where They'll Forever be Found with the Devil, Donald Trump – Once Lucifer Twice Stupider!
You Know, If my Mathematics is indeed Correct with Today’s Standing of being what you Follow, I'd bet that I would get an A+ from GOD'S Grading me on the Following Factor – where I Believe that there are More Bad people than there are of Good. – and there are more Evil People than there are of Bad – of which makes the Good of the Minority from the Combined Majority of the Bad and Evil. – The Difference is that, Every Good Person, without Exception – Does Bad Things Sometimes, whereas Every Bad Person Does Bad Things All the Time – making them more Likely to Sell Their Souls over to the Devil's Control – In Doing So – Planting His Seeds into Harvesting a Larger Crop for the Havoc of His Evil Deeds, but – WHO IS SATAN?
