The 3 Visible Advents of Jesus

By Earl Schrock

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE THREE LITERAL VISIBLE ADVENTS OF JESUS.
The message of the FIRST ANGEL of Revelation 14:6, 7 should encourage each one of us to ask:
AM I READY FOR JESUS TO COME?
Behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to every man according to what he has done. Revelation 22:12 NASB
Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him;
and all peoples on earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. Revelation 1:7 NIV
WARNING: Reading this book will not brainwash you. It will not hinder or corrupt your thinking process. It will not cause you to become confused or lose your way spiritually. What it will do is offer a fresh view to help you prepare for the soon coming of Jesus. It will reveal new evidence that you may not have been shown or considered before. Open your spiritual mind and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. John 16:13 says, But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

THE FIRST ANGEL’S MESSAGE

Revelation 14:6, 7

18.jpg

Jesus is coming again.

We can’t escape it.

We can’t delay it.

We can’t pause it.

We can’t hurry it.

We can accept it or

We can deny it.

But whatever the case may be, Jesus IS coming again.

The Father has an appointed time of the end

and it will take place at the very year, month,

week, and day He has appointed.

He said: "I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns

the appointed time of the end."

Daniel 8:19

"And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year

were released to kill a third of mankind."

Revelation 9:15

Introduction

Many people are surprised to realize there are three physical, literal, visible comings or Advents of Jesus. It’s not that they are unaware of it, it’s just they have never thought of it like that until now.

Here are the three literal and visible Advents of Jesus in a nutshell

1) He came as a baby for His first coming as Messiah.

2) He is expected to return soon for His second coming as Redeemer.

3) He will return again at the end of time for His third coming as Judge.

The questions that need to be considered are:

What is each of the three Advents for?

When will they each take place on a timeline?

Who will be affected by the three Advents of Jesus?

What will my individual role be for these appearing’s?

Where will I be during each one of them?

What should be my attitude about the first coming?

What can I do in preparation for the second and third coming?

The desire of this author is to empower you to intelligently answer each one of these questions from the information available in the following pages supported by the Bible (Sola Scriptura).

Sola Scriptura (The Bible Only)

To answer the above questions we need to establish some basic foundations.

First we need to agree that the Bible is the infallible Word of God (2 Peter 1:21) and we can trust it and rely on it.

Second we need to agree that the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation must be in harmony. In other words the whole Bible must agree with itself on this and all other topics. The Old Testament cannot teach one thing and the New Testament something contrary (Malachi 3:6). Each of the human authors of all (66) sixty-six books must agree 100%. They all have been lead to write under the guidance of the same Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20, 21) over a period of many centuries. He cannot disagree with Himself. God does not change (Hebrews 13:8). He is the same today, yesterday, and forever.

Third we must accept that the Bible teaches the truth and that we will study it, learn from it, accept it (2 Timothy 2:15) and do it. It’s not the interpretation of the Bible instructor, the pastor, the church leader or anyone else’s opinion that we’ll be guided by. Only the Bible is our guide, Sola Scriptura, as we’re led by the Holy Spirit (John 14:26).

Fourth We must act upon the truth and do whatever it says we are to do. Faith or belief by itself is not enough. "Faith without works is dead" (James 2:14-26). We are to be obedient to our Creator God, acknowledging His
