An
honest survey of the Bible will reveal that Y’shua
isn’t returning in 2010 or any time soon. Ironically,
while the Bible tells us to pray for His soon return, The
Bible doesn’t agree with the idea of the imminent return,
a theory that states that the Messiah could return at any
moment. This beliefin an imminent return ignores many events
that are yet to come on the prophetic calendar of the Bible.
Here are just a few reasons that His Second Coming can't happen
this New Year.
Before the Messiah can return, at least according to most
commentators, either Elijah or the Two Witnesses (or both)
would have to be physically present for three-and-one-half
years. Yet since these persons are not here yet, we know the
Messiah cannot return any time before 2013. This destroys
most commentator's belief that the Messiah will return in
2012 or 2017.
Further, Daniel 12:11, Revelation 11 and Second Thessalonians
2:4 tell us that Before the Messiah can return, the holy temple
in Jerusalem must be totally rebuilt, and must be fully functioning.
Some end times teachers have tried to get around the idea
of a fully functional temple by stating that only a corner
portion of the temple will have to be rebuilt, and that this
will accomplish the task. This is in a vain effort to make
their timelines work for an upcoming apocalypse. Sorry, but
the Scriptures are clear that the red heifer, priesthood,
holy menorah and all elements must be functioning during the
end of days. Today there are many efforts being made to restore
the holy of holies but one big problem stands in the way:
sitting on the exact spot of where the temple should be is
the Muslim Dome of the Rock. Perhaps the Al Aqsa Mosque will
be destroyed as part of the seven year peace treaty with Israel
that is yet to come? Even if that is the case, it will take
many years to build the next Temple according to the specifications
given in Ezekiel 40-46, perhaps even decades. According to
Scripture, the Messiah cannot return before this is done.
Another clear indication that the eastern sky isn’t
parting this year is the fact that the true gospel of salvation
by grace through faith has not been preached to the entire
world. Mark 13:10 states this must occur before Y’shua
can return. The joshuaproject.net, a ministry on worldwide
evangelism, suggests that over 6,600 people groups, representing
2.75 billion people, have still not had an opportunity to
hear the good news in any form. Plus, too many people have
heard a cheap version of the good news that simply preaches
grace as cushion into heaven. Too many preachers have focused
on the love of Messiah without expressing the pain and suffering
caused by sin. Converts to this type of faith often fall away
and never return to the Bible. A true convert will acknowledge
the power of the Scriptures to convict them of their sin and
change their evil ways. The true Hebraic Good News, not just
of salvation, but also of obedience, must be taken throughout
the uttermost parts of the earth before the Messiah can return
to earth. With so far to go, how can that possibly happen
this year, even with the cheapened, non-Hebraic form of the
Good News?
One of the most significant events that absolutely must occur
before the Second Advent is the restoration of the nation
of Israel. Yes, a portion of the Promised Land has been restored
and the Jewish people have set up a nation, but Israel is
more than just the Jews. Many passages of Scripture, including
Ezekiel 37 and Zechariah 12, speak of the restoration of all
twelve tribes in the Land. Ephraim (the Northern Kingdom)
and Judah (the Southern Kingdom) must become one before the
return of Y’shua. Acts 15:16 states, "'After this
I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent. Its ruins I
will rebuild, and I will restore it.” This isn’t
a spiritual return but a physical return to all of the Land
promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The borders of the
nation of Israel must be enlarged to hold people of Israel
before the second coming! Israel must be regathered and allowed
to worship and dwell in all of the Land. Acts 3:21 states
that Y’shua “must remain in heaven until the time
comes for YHWH to restore everything, as he promised long
ago through his holy prophets.” The prophets spoke of
the reunion of the people of Israel. Study the book of Hosea
to learn more about this coming move of YHWH.
