I believe we are in the period of the antichrist. Scripture shows that Jesus returns at the start of this period, and resides in the 'earths belly' aka the cloudes
the period is 3.5 years.
It is said in Daniel 12 (I think) that there will be no more sacrifice during this period, you could translate this as the sacrifice of the mass, but the eucharist in scripture is usually refered to as the 'heavenly gift' rather than sacrifice for sins. If JEsus is here, he is not giving mercy
This whole period is referred to as "the day of the lord" it is signified when the moon turns blood red and the stars fall from the sky - the day of the lord has been seen as the second coming, but in the old testament it corrospondes with the antichrist movement.
He said the 'day of the lord' will come like a thief in the night, when everyone is merry making etc
Jesus talks about "as Jonah was in the whale, I will be on the belly on the earth for 3 and a half (in the cloud)
It makes out that Jesus will be in the cloudes (sounds mad, but that is what scripture indicates) as he said 'those who survive will meet me in the cloudes'
HE also said, when I come to earth will I find any faith?..... but during the 3 and a half years, the Jewsish nations convert, showing there will be TONS of Christians. So if he returns at the end, the faith will be massive.
It also said during the assention, just as he left the earth (on a cloud) he will return.
Isiah also shows that when Jesus returns the sun will be much brighter and the moon will give a much brighter light at night time ( I see this every night) (showing hes here for a period of time) Just Look at the moon at night!!! Isaiah said this is when the second coming has taken place
Scripture shows that people will see him when a sign appears in the heavens (cloudes) when he will reveal himself, (not when he returns) - nothing about any trumpet going off or 'times up'
Please help, I don't understand how the church teach he comes only 'on the last day' as no scripture indicate this and I can't just accept 'because the church says so'
Anything to reassure me?
