Now, let’s discuss about existence of a certain time for arrival of Jesus Christ for the second time in the Bibles. There are around twenty expressions on arrival of Jesus Christ in the Bibles. Given the fact that such arrival did not take place so far, is the date of arrival still to come or has such date already passed? If there is a date predicted about the arrival and if he has not arrived yet although such time has passed, we have an important problem. If this is the case, it is evident that the date for second arrival of Jesus Christ is baseless. Now, let’s examine this issue on the Bibles. Let’s try to find out whether there is a date about his return to the face of earth about uttered by him:

“24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man arriving on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

24:31 And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

24:32 “Learn this parable from the fig tree: Whenever its branch becomes tender and puts out its leaves, you know that summer is near.

24:33 So also you, when you see all these things, know that he is near, right at the door.

24:34 I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” (Matthew)

The same expressions are seen in Mark (13:30) and Luke (21:32). So, this arrival will take place before people who lived together with Jesus Christ have passed away. Also, Mark Bible warns the master oracles who arrested him with the same event:

“14:61 But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

14:62 “I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”8 (Mark)

In such case, we learn the date of return in the words of Jesus Christ very clearly. He expressly states that this date of arrival will take place in a very near future before the people who lived with Jesus Christ have passed away. Paul has also specified this matter in his letter ’and clearly writes down that people alive at that moment will see this:

“4:16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a shout of command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

4:17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be suddenly caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

4:18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.” (1.Thessalonians)

This date of return has been understood so clearly that the event started to be questioned. It seem that Apostle Paul tries to soothe those questioning the return he wrote about in 1st Letter to Thessalonians by referring to Daniel Book in the 2nd letter :

“2:1 Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,

2:2 not to be easily shaken from your composure or disturbed by any kind of spirit or message or letter allegedly from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here.

2:3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.

2:4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, and as a result he takes his seat in God’s temple, displaying himself as God.

2:5 Surely you recall that I used to tell you these things while I was still with you.” (2.Thessalonians)

Paul ignores what he told for the first date of return to settle things down and heads for the events just like today. Petrus, one of the leading Apostles of Jesus Christ, is involved in this with an annex attached to his letter. We see that length of the days has been changed in order to get rid of the seriousness of the event:

“3:3 Above all, understand this: In the last days blatant scoffers will come, being propelled by their own evil urges

3:4 and saying, “Where is his promised return? For ever since our ancestors died, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation.”

3:5 For they deliberately suppress this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water.

3:6 Through these things the world existing at that time was destroyed when it was deluged with water.

3:7 But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, by being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

3:8 Now, dear friends, do not let this one thing escape your notice, that a single day is like a thousand years with the Lord and a thousand years are like a single day.” (2. Peter)

Based on the foregoing, it is understood that a date is given in advance. A date is given, but they try to evade such date with the comment that this period of time is different at the God’s level. But, this is not the reality. Jesus Christ points out that his return will be soon in his own words, and such return shall take place before death of those people who lived together with him:

“16:26 For what does it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?

16:27 For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.

16:28 I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” (Matthew)

“10:23 Whenever they persecute you in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.” (Matthew)

Everything is so clear and there is no need for hesitation. It is so easy to predict date of such arrival in the Bible of John. This date must be somewhere between A.D. 100 and 120 with a rough estimation. Because the death of John coincidences with these years at the latest:

“21:20 Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. (This was the disciple who had leaned back against Jesus’ chest at the meal and asked, “Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?”)

21:21 So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?”

21:22 Jesus replied, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!”

21:23 So the saying circulated among the brothers and sisters that this disciple was not going to die. But Jesus did not say to him that he was not going to die, but rather, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours?” (John)

Now, while there are so many expressions showing that his return will take place before death of those people who lived together with him on the face of earth in own words of Jesus Christ, you probably think who the church explains all these. So, how does the church explain these? By ignoring all these explanations. Let’s see the expressions used by the church that ignores these in order to cover this up:

“13:29 So also you, when you see these things happening, know that he is near, right at the door.

13:30 I tell you the truth, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.

13:31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

13:32 “But as for that day or hour no one knows it – neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son – except the Father.

13:33 Watch out! Stay alert! For you do not know when the time will come” (Mark)

This is also included in the Bible. So, based on this explanation that conflicts with several expressions told by Jesus Christ in his own words, his return is till being awaited. They have no other option to solve the problem In three Bibles, there is one more expression told by the Jesus Christ in his own words and that is thought to have not come true yet. Let’s have a look at such expression. Now, let’s look at the last expression where Jesus Christ describes his return to the face of earth:

“13:24 “But in those days, after that suffering, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light;

13:25 the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.

13:26 Then everyone will see the Son of Man arriving in the clouds with great power and glory.

13:27 Then he will send angels and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.” (Mark)

Let nobody hope that he will see return of Jesus Christ according to the expressions seen here. Because it is not possible for the humankind to see such return. When the starts have blacked out, the stars have fallen, how likely is it for a being to survive on the face of earth in the sense we know? This is exactly a depiction of Judgement Day. How likely is it for a place or people to survive for Armageddon? Even if some people or a place survived, everyone would be so busy in saving their own lives, and, how likely is it for anyone to fight a war? Based on these realities we wee in the Bile, one can ask what the Christian world thinks. This is the weirdest part of the story. The Christian World will not say a word about this issue. Because they ignore such realities. On pages 455-466 of the most serious book entitled “Christian Theology”, translated into our language, this issue was examined in details. Not a line indicating the Bible lines saying such return will take place before death of generation of Jesus Christ is included in the above mentioned book. They also confess that they know that all other signs have come true and they find the same reasonable. Now, the issue is so big. The above statements prove the following: While everything is so clear, if they agree that this return shall take place before death of that generation, it is evident that what is written in the Bible will turn out to be groundless. Therefore, all these features are ignored.70

There is no union as to these ideas in the Christian world. They have been divided into three 3 groups on this issue. A- The Milleniumists, Post-Milleniumists and Pre- Milleniumists are three different interpretations. According to A- Milleniumists, one thousand year is a figurative expression and the world will not see such a special period. Based on such comment, upon birth of Jesus Christ, the devil was tied and dominance of one thousands years, the death survive in the Sky along with Messiah. Messiah shall come back only for Judgement. According to these theories, resurrection is being together with God up in the skies and is not a bodily concept. According to A-Milleniumists, there is only one resurrection when believers and atheists shall raise from death for judgement (John-5:28-29). So, according to this group, the period of suffering and war has ended. They have no expectations about Armageddon. According to the Post-Milleniumists, upon beginning of the Church era, the spread of Bible to all nations started and the men will live in the way God wants them to live, thus, a period of peace shall be seen on the face of earth for a figurative period such as one thousand years. By the end of this time, Messiah shall come to judge the people. Their difference from A-Milleniumists is the fact that a period of peace that will last for one thousand years shall be seen on the face of earth. These two groups have not remained loyal to the prophecies narrated in the Bible. The third group is Pre-Milleniumists. According to them, what is written in the Book of Revelations shall come true one by one. They are divided into two sub-groups. In the first group of thinking (classic comment), there will be a period of trouble and wars and , then, Messiah shall come back for a period peace that will last for one thousand years. In the second group of thinking, (who are real Evangelicals), Messiah shall return prior to period of trouble and wars, shall save the Evangelical by lifting them to the Sky, then, Armageddon and the period of peace that will last for one thousand years and judgement will follow.71 Of course, today, this last way of thinking is quite common. This is what Christian world thinks on this issue. Let’s think clearly whether we could reach a reasonable point with these comments.

I believe you have gained a clear understanding on the issue. The Pavlus Christianity has no reasonable aspect. It has no basis. Since Torah and Bible, Godlike nature of Jesus Christ, crimson, death on crucifix, his resurrection, his being lifted to the sky and his landing on the face of earth are as explained above, I guess you can say there is no need for further comments. Our fears of Armageddon might have decreased. Based on what I told so far, I think it is clearly understood that God has no such plan for the future. We might have understood that God has no such plan, yet it is a fact that some people are obstinately trying to benefit from such prophecies.
