No Old Testament Passage Indicates That Messiah Will Come Twice.

Might it be possible to interpret the phrase 'Christ died and lived again' (Rom. 14:9) in the context of the entire human history--not just past history? Because in the Bible, God is actually 'declaring the end from the beginning' (Isa. 46:10).

In Isaiah’s writings, 'the Day of Judgment' and 'the year of salvation' not only appear repeatedly within the same verses, but they also refer to the same exact date! Here is an example. The Messiah declares: ‘For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and My year of redemption has come’ (63:4; cf. Isa. 34:8).

As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful search and inquiry seeking to know what … time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He [the Holy Spirit] predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow."

What is so special about the age of antiquity that God would designate it as the single most important time period of his coming? Answer: nothing at all. On the other hand, 'the end of the age' (Matt. 28:20) makes Christ’s advent much more pressing than it would otherwise be considering the extraordinarily horrific circumstances that will engulf the earth. Better still, don’t you find it odd that a supposed contemporary Jew who rose from the dead made less impact on the Jews than Moses the Egyptian who died and was buried more than a thousand years earlier? (Deut. 34:5-6). Have you ever stopped to wonder why the Jews never accepted Jesus as their Messiah? Could it be because he never really existed? Think about it. And if Jesus already came, then why do we find a prophecy of his incarnation at the end of days in the book of Revelation chapter 12?

And with this the words of the Prophets agree, just as it is written, … ‘THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME.'
