“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 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 9:27-28
This verse clearly explains the purposes of Jesus two comings to planet Earth, first to deal with the sin problem and the second to save all of those eagerly waiting for Him. But there is also unfulfilled business with the nation God established for His purposes, Israel.
There are about three hundred Biblical prophecies of Jesus first coming but there are about two thousand prophecies of Jesus second coming and Jesus and the glorified Saints ruling and reigning over the nations during Jesus Millennial Kingdom. This makes it clear that God wants us to know and be prepared for Jesus second coming. In Jesus Olivet Discourse he gives us a great deal of information about the tribulation, even great tribulation that Christians will experience as Satan does His utmost to thwart God’s plans.
“As he (Jesus) sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Matthew 24:3
“And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:4-14
When God established Israel as His nation He did it through one man, Abraham and the covenant He made with Abraham and confirmed with His sons Isaac and Jacob has not been fulfilled as yet. Moreover, beginning with Moses, all the OT prophets were shown the end of Israel’s story: Israel will be the lead nation of the world with their Messiah ruling and reigning over all the nations.
Moses told the nation before they went into the promised land that God would drive them out and scatter them for disobedience:
“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long in it, but will be utterly destroyed. And the Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you.” Deuteronomy 4:26-27
But God also revealed to them that He would regather them in the last days back to their land which He did in 1948. This was the first of the major prophesied Biblical end times signs.
“But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, you will return to the Lord your God and obey his voice. For the Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.” Deuteronomy 4:29-31
