Jesus came to planet earth about 2000 years ago according to man's time as a man. That was the first coming, was it not? Would not the second coming for any given man be when Jesus came to that given man as his savior, his redeemer and began the growth of the new man within him?
This is exactly right!
When Jesus was taken up into Heaven in Acts 1; He instructed His disciples to NOT stand around gazing up as though he was going to come back down that way. Yes, He shall COME they said, SO they were instructed to RECIEVE Him while gathered to gether in Jerusalem. (not to wait for a "physical coming" as some unlearned report lol)
He CAME! That HAPPENED in Acts chapter 2! The entire rest of the Bible is about His Coming and how He operates within us to save us. It is the fulfillment of HOW HE SAID HE WOULD COME. IN THEM. IN US. By His Holy Spirit He Comes into those who believe and recieve Him. But of course before He could do that, He of course had to "ascend to the Father" and being GLORIFIED before He could personally begin Fathering each of us within our flesh, each man in His own order.
Then is the understanding and fulfillment complete of scriptures such as these;
(Joh 7:37)
In the last day, that great
day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
(Joh 7:38)
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(Joh 7:39)
(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
Jesus was "glorified" into the "Holy Spirit" of course.
When we receive Christ and are baptized into His death and raised up in newness of Life, we receive His Holy Spirit, by which we are "fathered"
fulfilling the Abrahamic Covenant!
(Luk 24:49)
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
This was the heart of the Abrahamic Covenant.
By recieving the Holy Spirit of Christ into our Temple bodies, we are "Fathered"! The beginning of the fulfillment of the Abrahamic Covenant by which we can cry "ABBA FATHER"!
FULFILLING...
(Gen 17:5)
Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for
a father of many nations have I made thee.
(Gen 15:5)
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him,
So shall thy seed be.
And of course, only JESUS is that SEED, from which the redeemed "Stars of Heaven" Christians are birthed from, whether previously a jew or a gentile, all come forth from the Singular Seed Christ, as Paul also shows here;
(Gal 3:16)
Now
to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Only Jesus is the "SEED OF ABRAHAM". Only in Jesus are any of the promises of the Covenant to Israel fulfilled, aka the "Church". Which foremost, is now having a FATHER
(Gal 4:6)
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the
Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Is the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ in your hearts? Have we received Him? He has COME! He is banging on our door of our hearts begging to be let in Now, To Day, to give us Rest in His Eternal Sabbath. To FATHER US. To rule and reign over our flesh. To make us One in His Body. To bring forth the Son of God within us! To fill the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. To Redeem His People Israel. etc etc etc it is all fulfilled in receiving Christ.
Oh what a happy Gospel
