How to Treat Those Who Testify God’s Second Coming?
By Sun Nan
After reading this story, I was inspired and started to think: If no matter what we encounter, we always deal with them by our own notions and imaginations, unwilling to accept others opinions or humbling ourselves, but stubbornly holding to our own imaginations no matter how people speak, our life will be ruined. If we don’t settle our notions, it’s too dangerous. Then I think about brothers and sisters in the church, they are living in a state of passivity and weakness, and are expecting the Lord can return soon; but at the same time, they have many notions and imaginations about the Lord’s return. The majority of them believe that the Lord will descend on the clouds. Some of them imagine that the Lord will come riding on a horse. … Aren’t they just the same as the soldier in the story, who only believes his own notions and imaginations and almost ruin his life? We all know that it is now near the end of the last days. The prophesies in the Bible have basically been fulfilled. It is time for the Lord to return, and the Lord must have returned. So, we must find a church that has the work of the Holy Spirit and follow God’s footsteps. Some people, however, dare not go out seeking and investigating, thinking that there would be false Christs in the last days. For the Lord Jesus said: “And then if any man shall say to you, See, here is Christ; or, see, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect” (Mark 13:21–22). Many of us believers expound the prophesies according to our notions and imagination, thinking that all news preaching the Lord has returned is false. As long as we don’t listen or read, we’ll not be deceived. But, is this really after the Lord’s will? If we always keep to such notions, being passive and guarding against all the news, will we ignore someone who says that the Lord has returned and miss the opportunity of being raptured into the kingdom of heaven?

How to Welcome Jesus’ Return to Be After God’s Will
Gao Huimin:
Hello, brothers and sisters! Acts 1:11 says: “You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen him go into heaven.” The Lord left on a white cloud after His resurrection, and so He will return on a white cloud. Holding fast to this viewpoint, I’ve been on constant lookout for the Lord’s descending on a cloud. However, some time ago, I heard from my classmate that the Lord had returned, and that He had become flesh and come down to the earth as the Son of man to do His work and speak. I can’t see this matter clearly. It’s true that the prophecies of the Lord’s second coming have been basically fulfilled. But I still haven’t seen the Lord coming with a cloud to take us. I feel confused: Am I right to await the Lord’s coming on a cloud? I’d like to discuss this with you and hope you can give me some help.
Sister Yu:
I’ve just seen your post, and I feel the same way. In 2000, the pastors said that the Lord would be bound to return and take us back to the heavenly home someday. But it’s 2018 now, and yet we haven’t seen the Lord coming with clouds to take us. Nowadays, disasters are frequently happening all over the world, such as flood, drought, earthquakes and wars, which exactly fulfills the prophecies of the last days the Lord Jesus said to His disciples. Judging from the signs, we can see that the time of the Lord’s return seems to have come. What your classmate said may be a fact. I think the Lord’s coming is an important thing and you should make an investigation.
Sister Zhu:
Sister Gao and Sister Yu, we can’t lose faith in the Lord, because He is trustworthy. The Bible clearly says: “And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory” (Luke 21:27). It was said by the Lord Himself that He will come with clouds at His return, and that every eye will see Him. The Lord’s words won’t be wrong. So there is no need to worry, and we just continue to await the Lord’s descending on a cloud to take us.

3 Key Points of Welcoming the Second Coming of Jesus
By Yan Jin
How can we welcome the coming of the Lord? This is a big question for us believers in God. In the last days, whether we can enter the kingdom of heaven depends on whether we can welcome the Lord’s return and attend the marriage banquet of the Lamb. In order to welcome the Lord’s return, we often watch and wait, but do we know how to watch and wait to meet the Lord? I believe the three points below can show us the way.
Quick Navigation
We should not rely on notions and imaginations, but should have reverence for God.
We should take the initiative to seek and investigate the true way.
We should pay attention to seeking the voice of God.
1. We should not rely on notions and imaginations, but should have reverence for God.
On the matter of watching and waiting for the coming of the Lord, we can’t rely on our notions and imaginations but ought to have reverence for God. In the past, while the Pharisees waited for the coming of the Messiah, they were not reverent before God, just living in their notions and imaginations. Their main manifestations are that they explained the prophecies of the coming of the Messiah according to their own imaginations, and that they believed based on the literal meaning of the prophecies that God could only come with the name Messiah, be born in the palace and aristocracy, and be the King of the Jews. But when the Lord came with the name Jesus and was born in an ordinary family of carpenters, the Pharisees concluded that He was definitely not the Messiah they hoped for. In addition, they held the thought that the Messiah should appear to them and work in the temple rather than preach among the lower classes, such as tax collector, and fishermen. The Pharisees lived in their notions and imaginations; they resisted and condemned the Messiah while waiting for His coming. They insisted on their own notions and imaginations, blindly condemned the arrival of God, and finally colluded with the Roman government to nail the Lord to the cross, seriously offending God’s disposition. Therefore, we must not follow in the footsteps of the Pharisees in the matter of waiting for the Lord’s coming and cannot use our own notions and imaginations to judge that God should come like this or that, because the appearance and work of the Lord is so unpredictable and wise that we will never be able to see through the mystery contained within. Just as Jehovah God said, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, said Jehovah. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9).
