Do you believe in the Third Coming of Jesus Christ? There will be no Third Coming, only the Second:
> Have you not understood that Jesus:
1.
Came to us in mortal flesh.
2. Is
still coming to us by His Holy Spirit,
3. Shall
come again in the Glory of His Immortality
Then said the Lord unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the Lord, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. (Ezekiel 44:2)
Rev. 2
[
26] And he that overcometh
[Death- he who is now born again], and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
[
27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be
broken to shivers:
even as I received of my Father.
[
28] And
I will give him the morning star
[the Holy Spirit].
> This takes us back to what Jesus said to the Jews Mat. 21
[
44]
And whosoever shall fall on [upon] this stone [Jesus Himself] shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to
powder [destruction]. See KJV-Luke 17:28-30
[
29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Rev. 3[
7] And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things
saith he [Jesus] that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. (Zechariah 14:5)
Jesus Himself is that valley between the two mountains of Israel and Judah. They who were all of Israel were being told to
flee to Jesus their Messiah. "The promised one who was to come".
The abomination of desolation, which is in Christianity, does not require a stone Temple. Moreover, Jesus especially noted that the reader must understand what is being said:
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) (Matthew 24:15)
whoso readeth, let him understand
Maybe we all should understand that Jesus,
the Sin Bearer of all the world was made to be
desolate/abandoned, "
forsaken" and
void of God Himself,
when He died His mortal death on the cross.
John 2
[
18] Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
[
19] Jesus answered and said unto them,
Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
[
20] Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
[
21]
But he spake of the temple of his [mortal] body.
There was no point for the Apostle Paul to frighten the Gentiles with the man of sin in the Jewish Temple. Gentiles were not allowed into that Temple, and even under Paul, Jesus was rejected in that Temple.
The man of sin is the natural man, which is everyone who is not born again of the Holy Spirit. All of such remain to be the old creature, until their conversion, of which only then shall they become the NEW creature of God's NEW Creation.
Apostle Paul called believers "temple": "you are the temple of the living God." This word "naos" does not mean the entire Temple, but the Tabernacle, the Sanctuary. There is no place for a person to sit in the Tabernacle. It is dark and stuffy, there is no throne, no toilet. Only the Kohanim can enter the Tabernacle, there is no point for a king to sit in this room. Any Jewish king sat in his palace.
You should know this: God does NOT LIVE in houses/temples made by hands. His deepest desire has always been that He would be able to Live WITHIN US, and now He can and does, through the shed blood of His dear Son, the Lamb of God.
When Christians replaced the real Jesus Christ with an idol, they planted a man of sin in their "temple of the living God." They still have him, and Christmas, which they celebrate, is the birthday of the Roman god of the sun. Christmas gifts are idolatry.
I'm a born again Christian!
Don't you know that
ALL born again Christians do not worship visible churches/temples or men in any capacity??
Just because a person attends a particular church and becomes a member, that does not mean that they are saved, having the Gift of God's Holy Spirit. There are far more that enter into the churches, than those who enter into the KoG. John 3:3-8
