WILL JESUS CHRIST EVER COME AGAIN?
According to historian Charles Freeman, early Christians expected Jesus to return within a generation of his death and the
nonoccurrence of the second coming surprised...
"Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that Antichrist is coming, even now many Antichrist have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour". (I John 2:18).
The position associating the second coming with the 1st century events such as the destruction of Jerusalem and of the Jewish Temple in AD 70 is known as Preterism.
Some preterists see this "coming of the son of Man in glory" primarily fulfilled in Jesus's death on the cross. They believe that the apocalyptic signs are already fulfilled including "the sun will be dark", the powers will be shaken. Etc.
Yet some critics ague that many indicators are missing such as " but the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heaven will pass away with a great noise and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will burn up".(2Peter 3:10)
The million dollars question still remains unanswered; WILL JESUS CHRIST EVER COME AGAIN?
