The Second Coming of Jesus: Metaphor or Literal?

In New Age circles, the second coming is believed to be a metaphor for the arrival of Christ Consciousness within each person. But is this what Jesus meant? Here are the reasons why we can know with certainty that the second coming is meant literally and not metaphorically:

Was there ever a second coming arrangement of the messiah by God?
Re: The Second Coming Of Jesus: Metaphor Or Literal? by Dtruthspeaker: 6:18pm On Apr 11, 2020
Op hope you know His Second Coming is not going to be as it was the first time, sweet and peaceful?

I sure hope you do know that He would be coming with All The Anger That This World Cannot Contain nor Bear?

And surely if the whole world feared what He did in Egypt, that day would more than outclass Egypt's Judgements.

It is a great and terrible day that even the Righteous would be very very afraid!

When your parents or teachers warned you about the doing or not doing of a thing, did they not return to see if you have done or not done what they have instructed you about?

Yahshua Ha Maschiach aka Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world, only had to come as Ha Maschiach just the one time, now sonmvayina, Mr Walking Cotradictions, when He returns the second time, it is not as Maschiach, but He does return a second time, as the triumphant King and to personally welcome believers into the Kingdom. John 14:3, at one of the very least, is proof

So what, it belongs to them?

The Tanakh belongs to them, yet they didnt have a concept or idea of afterlife until Jesus in the New Testament came to break down what afterlife is about etcetera. The Tanakh belongs to them, yet they had no concept that God is a Father to them until Jesus revealed this to them in New Testament Matthew 6:9-10. The Tanakh belongs to them, yet you are asking me to show you where in it, is there mention of the second coming of Yahshua Ha Maschiach aka Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world, huh? This is beyond funny, lol. Smh

Fyi, Mister Walking Contradictions Dummy sonmvayina, the Tanakh is a shadow of the New Testament, it is the New Testament concealed, while the New Testament is the Tanakh revealed. Everything hidden in the Tanakh, is revealed in the New Testament, so please go siddon over there somewhere jor. You that all you are good at is contradicting yourself, smh. Telling me that, "afterall all the Tanakh belongs to them". So what?. So what frigging point sonmvayina, are you abysmally trying to make saying that, huh? angry angry angry

If I should ask you to tell whats the Tanakh, you'll be shifting and sliding like as if something wey no wan gree pesin gladly penetrate, smh. You wouldnt be able to reasonably tell. Trying to pretend half as smart, lol, dropping and throwing about words, like "The Tanakh"

You are a dumb ass... Quit mentioning me.. You are just an slowpoke.... For lack of a better word..

How did you even go through school? Did you write a project? Did you defend it..?.. You are just a slowpoke... I am telling you the jews don't believe in Jesus because none of their prophet ever prophesied that the messiah will be a deity. Or that he was coming to die for sins... You are still quoting it for me... Jesus is nothing but an idol created by Rome.. To deceive people like you with no sense... And make mockery of God.. You are quoting it as if it has anything to do with God.. Please go and educate yourself you are still a small boy..

Dumb is your first middle name now or have you forgotten, lol, hmm?

sonmvayina:

sonmvayina mister Walking Contradictions, Dumb, slowpoke. Yeah, slowpoke, thanks for volunteering your other middle name

sonmvayina:

What's school? Be deceiving yourself there

sonmvayina:
Did you write a project? Did you defend it..?..
What's project? You want to get a hard-on from my answer, hmm? You and your dumb questions sha, smh

sonmvayina:
You are just a slowpoke...
The slowpoke is you who your Stoke Newington backstreet Jewish landlord didnt admit to that the New Testament teaches that Yahshua Ha Maschiach aka Jesus Christ is God in human form. Our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world killed on trumped up charges

sonmvayina:
I am telling you the Jews don't believe in Jesus because none of their prophet ever prophesied that the Messiah will be a deity.
Duh. Tell us something we dont already know. Would the Jews have fitted Him up on trumped up charges in a kangaroo court before later approching Pontius Pilate to legitimise having Yahshua Ha Maschiach aka Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour of the whole wide world killed, if they believed in Him, hmm? Put on your right thinking cap on nah sonmvayina, lol. Mtcheew. Smh

sonmvayina:
Or that he was coming to die for sins... You are still quoting it for me...
I am quoting you to, first, put down in one to two short sentences or since I am fair-minded and generous, a paragraph what point you allegedly have and also to summarise within the sentence(s)/paragraph, what's on that site, you want to send me on a rabbit hole wild goose errand into

Then, second, I am quoting you because all you keep telling, contradicts biblical obvious facts. You think you can get away unchallenged with your lies by throwing about fancy words, like Tanakh, lol. Smh.

sonmvayina:
Jesus is nothing but an idol
"2This man came to Yeshua at night and said to him:
“Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher sent from God,
for no man is able to do these miracles that you are doing unless God were with him.”

13No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven—the Son of Man.
14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,
15that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life
"
- John 3:2, 13-15

You're a wannabe coveting membership into the antichrists gang, lol.

sonmvayina:
created by Rome.. To deceive people like you with no sense... And make mockery of God..
Rome is, JJC johnny-just-come-lately, when it comes to mockery and/or deception. The people of Antioch beat them to it

sonmvayina:
... You are quoting it as if it has anything to do with God..
"Jesus answered,
“You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
"
- Matthew 22:29

"You search the Scriptures, because you think you will find eternal life in them.
The Scriptures (IOW, sonmvayina, The Scriptures means the Tanakh, lol) tell about me
"
- John 5:39

I am quoting it because the Tanakh is a shadow of the New Testament. The Tanakh is the New Testament concealed, while the New Testament is the Tanakh revealed. Everything hidden in the Tanakh, that the Jews arent aware of, like for example, that the coming champion of the Jews, the Son of man, was talking about Yahshua Ha Maschiach aka Jesus Christ, is revealed in the New Testament, lol. So please go siddon over there somewhere jor. You, that all you are good at, is contradicting yourself and taking pride in your ignorance. smh.

sonmvayina:
Please go and educate yourself you are still a small boy..

C'mon bwoy. I've got my eyes on you.

You better start practising how how hold in your breath. You better do, if you're half wise because every move you make, every word out of wrong you make, every wrong foot you put forward, every falsehood, lies and deception you utter, every breath you make, I have my eyes on you. I am watching you and will come after you that you wouldnt know what exactly it is dropped on ya. I will chase you and run you down, will chase your benighted soul right back into the very rear end of the bottomless pit of an abyss you crawled out from
