One thing is Christ is here Christ in us Christ did returned at the time of the first century reformation (Hebrews 9)
The 7th day he rested on is eternal a shadow, every time we hear the gospel and do not harden ones own heart we are in the rest .
You’re halfway there — but still missing the cornerstone.
Yes, the 7th-day rest was a shadow. Yes, Christ
is our rest.
But
no, the Second Coming didn’t already happen in the first century.
Hebrews 9 doesn’t teach that Christ returned in the first century — it says He
entered the heavenly sanctuary to appear before God
on our behalf (Hebrews 9:24),
not that He returned bodily to the earth. In fact, that same chapter
explicitly says:
“So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,
will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” —
Hebrews 9:28
That’s future tense. Clear as day.
If Christ already returned, where is the resurrection of the dead?
Where is the judgment of the wicked?
Where is the
visible return that He promised in
Matthew 24:30 and
Acts 1:11, where every eye sees Him and He comes in power and glory?
“This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven,
will come in the same way as you saw Him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:11)
He went up bodily. He’s coming back bodily.
What you’re describing is not the Second Coming — it’s a spiritualization that guts the apocalyptic, world-shaking return of the King.
Let’s not reduce the return of Christ to some vague, symbolic "inner awakening."
He’s not just “in us.”
He’s coming
for us.
With fire. With judgment. With glory.
You can’t
preterize the Kingdom into some 1st-century metaphor.
Christ reigns now in heaven, yes — but the
consummation of that reign will be unmistakable. It hasn’t happened yet.
“Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and
every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him...” —
Revelation 1:7
History hasn’t witnessed that yet.
So stop trying to turn thunder into a whisper.
The Lion of Judah is still coming.
And when He does,
no one will mistake it for a past event.
