Preachers say that Jesus Christ may come anytime for the rapture of the church. But the Bible says that he will not come until he reveals Satan who is in the churches. Jesus Christ said that he will not come until those pierced him will repent and invite him. Daniel says he will come to destroy the iron and clay of Babylon, which is for Millennium. With these Bible evidence, rapture will not happen for another 300 years. Then, Satan has to be released from 1000 years of imprisonment in the pit. Then he will raise people around the world. There will be seven sections of 100-year reign. The destruction will be at the eighth section of the 100-year reign. It will take more than 2100 years. Jesus will come for something else at any time. Be ready.
Showing the situations around the world, the bible teachers preach that Jesus Christ may come at any time to rapture the church, or to end the world. Jesus Christ said in
Matthew 24:4-12 in 6, when such things happen, the end will not come. So according to Jesus Christ the present situation is proof that the end will not come. Preachers take verses like I come quickly and say that Jesus may come any time. But this verse was written 2000 years ago. Jesus said that he comes quickly. Probably he had come already, and preachers did not know about it. So, they keep on preaching that Jesus Christ will come any day to rapture and to end the world. They should rather find scriptures to show the specific time and the event and then preach that Jesus will come in such & such time. If not, it is just a bluff. According to the Bible, the rapture will not happen for another 300 years. The end of the world will not come for another 2100 years. Let us study it from the Bible. But, let me cover a few things first.The second coming of Jesus Christ is a general term that points to 4 major and a few minor events. Let us look at the 4 major events now. 1. Jesus Christ has already come. 2. Jesus Christ will come to raise and rapture his people. 3. Jesus Christ will establish his Millennium reign. 4. He will destroy this world and create all new. Any one of these major or even minor events, is called the second coming of Jesus Christ. So, there are many second comings.
Now, let us study the 4 main events one by one in detail. The first event is: Jesus Christ has already come. Acts 3:26 God having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. Matthew 28:20 Jesus Christ tells his disciples to teach them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. So, God the Father sent Jesus Christ to the world and Jesus came and told his disciples that he is with them and he will be with his future disciples until the end of the world. At the same time, he is on the right hand of the Father according to Acts 2:34. Since he is God, he can be in heaven and on earth at the same time.
Most Christians do not like the true Jesus Christ, who will turn the people away from their sins because they love and enjoy their sins. The so-called preachers also love their sins, as well as the prestige and the benefits they receive as ministers of God for encouraging people to stay in sin and assuring them that they are going to heaven. So, they have rejected the true Jesus Christ and accepted another Jesus Christ who has finished the salvation work at the cross and will not do anything more. Further he does not want his people to do anything other than accepting him. But this is a counterfeit Jesus Christ created by theologians. But, in reality Satan is behind this counterfeit Jesus Christ. But, as Christians keep on rejecting the true Jesus Christ: he, with one last warning, in such an hour they think not, as a thief in the night, in his wrath, he swears to them one by one that they will never enter his rest and close the door of heaven behind them according to Hebrews 3:7-18, Matthew 24:44-51, 1 Thessalonians 5:2-6, Matthew 25:1-13 & Luke 13:23-25. But they will continue to live as Adam and many others lived even after they were eternally dead, according to Genesis 2:17, Matthew 8:22, Acts 10:42, 1 Timothy 5:6, 24, 2 Timothy 4:1, 1 Peter 4:5, Revelation 20:14 and few other scriptures. So, phrases like, in such an hour they think not, as a thief in the night, etc, refer to how Jesus Christ comes suddenly and judges them to eternal death as they are committing sin.
The second event is: Jesus Christ will come to raise and rapture his people. We know that Jesus Christ is turning people away from their sins and iniquities. Ephesians 5:27 says Jesus Christ might present to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So, Jesus Christ is converting them to be holy, spotless, without any blemish for himself. Ephesians 2:6 he hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That is, Jesus Christ, pulls them out of sin and seats their spirit in himself in heaven. As they die, they will sleep in him. Jesus Christ is doing this work for the last 2000 years. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 16 the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then, we which are alive and remain shall be caught up with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: So, Jesus Christ will raise and rapture them who were in him. But the tragedy is, most Christians are taught to say that they are in Jesus Christ, while they are in sin. But no sin can enter Jesus Christ in heavenly places. If we are in sin, we are not in Jesus Christ. It is deception to say we are in Jesus Christ while in sin.
2 Thessalonians 2:1 brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, (ie, rapture) 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; It says that rapture will not come until two things happen. 1st is falling away. That is, the people of God will fall away with Satan. But, it already happened as the word of God was in writing and Satan entered the churches. 2nd, God will reveal Satan, from his disguise as Jesus Christ in churches. 4 he opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Verse 7 the mystery of iniquity doth already work: See, Satan was already in the churches showing himself as God and receiving the worship as Paul was writing this letter. But bible teachers say that a man antichrist will come to fill this place. No man can show himself as God, who is invisible, doing miracles, healings, etc, for the last 2000 years. It is Satan. 6 now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. Only God can withhold Satan from revealing himself. God will reveal Satan in God's time. Revelation chapter 11 speaks about two witnesses. They are two latter rain ministries, work miracles, wonders and they prophesy. One of the ministries will work with churches exposing Satan. As Satan is exposed, Jesus Christ will rapture his people according to verse 3. Then believers will expel Satan from churches and Satan will persecute believers. So, if tribulation has begun in the churches, then the rapture has just taken place.
The third event is: Jesus Christ will establish Millennium reign. King of Babylon saw a statue in a dream, etc. Daniel interpreted the dream for the king. It is recorded in Daniel second chapter. Daniel 2:33 says His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. 41 thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, etc. The two legs are Iraq and Iran. They were strong and had iron fist rule. Few years ago, Iraq became democracy, no more iron rule, but iron with clay. One foot has become iron and clay. Iran also will become iron and clay like Iraq. At present, they are not strong enough to attack Israel. But a/c to the prophesy, Iraq and Iran will become strong enough to destroy Israel in the future.
Matthew 23:39 Jesus says to Jews, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. The second latter rain ministry in Revelation 11, will prophesy to Israel that Iraq and Iran, which is Babylon, will destroy her and Jesus Christ the Messiah alone will protect her if she calls upon him. Israel will ignore it, until Iraq and Iran invade Israel and bring the great tribulation upon her. At the point of destruction, Israel will call upon Jesus Christ. Zachariah 12:10 I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, etc. John 19:37 They shall look on him whom they pierced. As Israel calls upon Jesus Christ, he will come. Daniel 2:34 a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. So, Jesus Christ, who is their Messiah, will come and break Babylon, which is Iraq and Iran, to pieces.
Now, before we go further, let us look back at a previous prophesy and its fulfillment from history. Daniel 8:11 he (Roman Empire) magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. 12 An host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, etc. God has given Israel to Rome because of her transgression, then the destruction of Jerusalem, the temple, the sanctuary, the daily sacrifice, etc. This prophesy was fulfilled in 70 AD. 13 How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 14 he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. The specific question in this verses is, how long Jerusalem will be trodden by others. Answer is 2300 days, a symbolic number. If we use the symbolic equivalent one day as one year, it will be 2300 years from the day of destruction. Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 AD. If we add 2300 years to it, it will be 2370 AD. Now the year is 2011. 2370-2011=359. So, in another 359 years, Jesus Christ will cleanse the host and begin his Millennium reign in the land of promise that God promised to the Seed of Abraham, who is Jesus Christ. When will be the rapture? The great tribulation to churches and to Israel will happen at the same time and it will be for seven years even though it is divided in two. Rapture is just before tribulation and it is just before Millennium. So, 359 years to Millennium - 7 years of tribulation = 352 years from now to the rapture. But we cannot know the exact dates of God's doings. So, if we give 52 years as margin, that is, 352-52 = 300 years. So, we may safely say that Jesus Christ will not come at least for another 300 years to rapture his holy church.
The fourth and the last event is: the end of the world. Satan will be bound in the bottomless pit for 1000 years and he will be loosed according to Revelation 20:1-3. With his influence, the 7 heads and 10 horns will begin to rule. Most Bible teachers say that the 7 heads rule is Pope and the Catholic church. No, it is not. The rule will not even start until Satan comes out of the bottomless pit. Almost 800 years into their reign, Jesus Christ will destroy this world and make all things new. 2 Peter 3:10 the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. That is, Jesus Christ will destroy this world in total surprise. When will it be? Millennium will be 359 years from now. Satan will be loosed after 1000 years. Then the 7 heads and 10 horns will rule about 800 years. So, 359+1000+800 = 2159. Again, no one can know the exact day. So, giving a margin of 59 years, that is 2159-59= 2100, we may safely say that the present world will not come to an end for another 2100 years from now according to the scriptures.
When Jesus Christ destroys this world, he will create New Earth, New Heaven, New Jerusalem and also the lake of fire. The lake of fire is to punish Satan and disobedient people. Now, Jesus Christ is here judging people every day. What we do, determines where we go. If you trust him and love him, obey him. Revelation 21:1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, 2 Peter 3:13 we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: The final word of Jesus Christ is: Revelation 22:12 behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. He came already and he is here. He will visit you by surprise to judge you. Are you ready?

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his
Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinth 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven
. John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
