bibleprophecyaswritten.com When will Jesus Return? A surprising answer in the Book of Matthew WHEN WILL JESUS RETURN? For the Palestinian - Hamas “ obliterate Israel ” sign carrying marchers and the sleeper - wing of the Church... A SURPRISING ANSWER from the BIBLE 1. First, Jesus WILL Return, something of course unbelievers do not believe. "...and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. (Mat 24:29 - 30) 2. Jesus will NOT come until the Jews call upon His Name by appealing to the Messianic - Faith statement of Psalm 118:26, "Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!“ (Mat 23:38) "For I say to you, from now on you shall not see Me until you say, 'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!’” (Mat 23:39; see also Mat 21:9; Luke 13:35; Psa 118:26) “ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD...” ( Psa 118:26 — a Messianic expectation ) 3. The fulfillment of part 1 of the prophecy above (Mat 23:38 , the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD) g uarantees the fulfillment of part 2 (Mat 23:39) above. 4. On the eve of Christ's Return the Jews will be inhabiting the Land of Israel in unbelief (Zec 12:10 - 14; Rom 10:21; 11:26) (A representative listing of "all the families" of Israel who inhabit the Land at the time of the Return of Jesus Christ is given in Zec 12:10 - 14) 5. The Jews, on the verge of extermination by the Antichrist in the "great tribulation" (Mat 24:21 - 22; Jer 30:7; Dan 12:1), in seemingly hopeless despair will call on the Name of the Lord (Mat 23:39; Zec 13:9). “...And I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name , And I will answer them; I will say, 'They are My people,' And they will say, 'The LORD is my God.’” (Zec 13:9) 6. Jesus will appear in the sky "immediately after the tribulation". "But immediately after the tribulation of those days ... ... they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. (Mat 24:29 - 30) 7. The Jews will recognize Jesus Christ as the one “they pierced” and ALL ISRAEL will be saved. "And I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced ; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son... (Zec 12:10; John 19:37; Rev 1:7) and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob." "And this is my covenant with them, when I take away their sins .“ (Rom 11:26 - 7) 8. ”Every eye (believers and unbelievers) will see Him” (Rev 1:7 — as Christ returns from heaven to the earth with His “Bride”, the pre - tribulation - Raptured Church) “Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him...” (Rev 1:7) And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called ... The Word of God... "King of kings, and lord of lords.“ (Rev 19:11, 16; the Church seen in 19:7 - 8, 14) 9. Why must Matthew 23:39 be fulfilled before Jesus will Return? To bring Israel — by Grace - Alone, Faith - Alone, in Christ - Alone — into Salvation, to prove that God — who “ swore ” He would literally fulfill (Heb 6:13 - 18; Rom 11:29) His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Israel) — is GOD, the Promise Keeper. 10. How important it is to you and I, and to ALL mankind, that God is a Promise Keeper! For " WHOEVER WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED “(Rom 10:13), the very same promise of salvation by Grace given to Israel (Zec 13:9; see Joel 2:32) has been given to all of us! (Acts 2:21; Rom 10:13) 11.Therefore , our 2000 - year - old request in “the Lord’s Prayer” — ”thy Kingdom come” — will NOT be fulfilled UNTIL Jesus' Returns. So, When will Jesus Return?... 12."For I say to you [Israel], from now on you [Israel] shall not see Me [Jesus] until you [Israel] say, 'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!’ (Mat 23:39) Praise God for His Grace, in Him, Phillip Goodman Matthew 23:39 'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"
