If I understand you correctly, "Soon" means "far"?
I thought somewhere you said you were a literalist?

Again bro. All I need is an actual date of when Jesus is known to have arrived at His 2nd coming. It will resolve our issue here.

Here is an average post regarding his first appearing...

Our dating modern system is used because of His 1st appearing....


Is there a date in history that anyone knows the 2nd coming happened?

It should have had some significance you would think.

Is there a possibility that some have just imagined that the Lord returned already?

The world we live in knows nothing about a 2nd coming happening 2000 years ago. I have never in my life heard of such an idea until last year, and I am 53 years old.

Its not even on Fox news or CNN. It must be Christianitys' little secret?

Youd think if the second advent had occurred there wouldnt BE an issue.

It just not fair bro....All of Christianity has been waiting for the return of our Lord and He showed up secretly to "rule the world with a rod of iron" 2000 years ago....

And I wasn't even informed.

It was not even mentioned in history...

Its just not fair...



You would have at least told the UPC or something...LOL

Near as I can tell, no one here is proposing the 2nd coming is past. That is future, but not all prophecies are about His second coming.

You're the one to talk. You believe in Pretrib secret rapture where the Lord comes to take us like a thief in the night and no one sees him come or go, and see empty clothes all over the place. Voila! Secret rapture, secret coming of the Lord.
