End of the World Predictions

The first time Jesus came to earth, he came as a helpless babe.   At this time, he did not use his power as almighty God to solve life's problems but lived by faith and trust in God the Father as he fulfilled the purpose of his mission - to seek and save the lost by dying for the sins of the world (Philippians 2:5-11).  The next time he comes to this world, he will come in all his heavenly glory and power.  During his earthly life, Jesus (referring to himself as "the Son of man") said this, "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works (Matthew 16:27)".

The following is part of a vision which one of Jesus disciples had.  At the time of the vision this disciple, John, was exiled on an Island called Patmos because of his faith.  This vision is recorded in the Bible in the first chapter of the last book in the Bible: Revelation.  In the book of Revelation (part of a library of books called the Bible which is God's inspired Word) we get a glimpse of the heavenly glory and power that Jesus Christ has.  Power which he humbly laid aside during his first trip to earth.  Next time, he will come in glory

"12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
