What
is the order of events at the second advent?
Does Jesus first of all come down at
Armageddon, where the beast and the armies are
gathered?
Revelation
19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and
behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
19 And I saw the beast, and the kings
of the earth, and their armies, gathered
together to make war against him that sat on the
horse, and against his army.
20 And the beast was taken, and with
him the false prophet that wrought miracles
before him, with which he deceived them that had
received the mark of the beast, and them that
worshipped his image. These both were cast alive
into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
21 And the remnant were slain with the
sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his
mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their
flesh.
What happens next?
Does Jesus then go to Edom to rescue
those who have been in the wilderness for 1,260
days?
And then lead them safely to Israel,
while he slaughters the enemy along the way?
Isaiah
63:1 Who is this
that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from
Bozrah? this that is glorious
in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of
his strength? I that speak in righteousness,
mighty to save.
2 Wherefore art thou
red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him
that treadeth in the winefat?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone;
and of the people there was none
with me: for I will tread them in mine anger,
and trample them in my fury; and their blood
shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will
stain all my raiment.
4 For the day of vengeance
is in mine heart, and the year of my
redeemed is come.
5 And I looked, and there
was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold:
therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto
me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 And I will tread down the people in
mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and
I will bring down their strength to the earth.
Will Jesus, like Joshua, lead them
across Jordan?
Micah
7:15 According to the days of thy
coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto
him marvellous things.
Will they then see the 12 stones that
Joshua set up in the midst of Jordan (not the ones
that he setup on the west bank, but the ones setup
in the river)?
Then as Jesus passes on towards
Jerusalem, as he slays kings along the way, will he
stop to drink from the brook?
Psalms
110:5 The Lord at thy right hand
shall strike through kings in the day of his
wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen, he
shall fill the places with the
dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many
countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the
way: therefore shall he lift up the head.
Then when Jesus comes to the battle of
Jerusalem, will he then stand upon the mount of
Olives?
Zechariah
14:2 For I will gather all nations
against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall
be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women
ravished; and half of the city shall go forth
into captivity, and the residue of the people
shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and
fight against those nations, as when he fought
in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day
upon the mount of Olives, which is
before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of
Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward
the east and toward the west, and
there shall be a very great valley; and
half of the mountain shall remove toward the
north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to
the valley of the mountains; for the valley of
the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye
shall flee, like as ye fled from before the
earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:
and the LORD my God shall come, and
all the saints with thee.
Then does Jesus slay those that came to
fight against Jerusalem?
Zechariah
14:12 And this shall be the plague
wherewith the LORD will smite all the people
that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh
shall consume away while they stand upon their
feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their
holes, and their tongue shall consume away in
their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that
day, that a great tumult from
the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay
hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and
his hand shall rise up against the hand of his
neighbour.
Does Jesus then tread the winepress
outside of Jerusalem?
Revelation
14:20 And the winepress was trodden
without the city, and blood came out of the
winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the
space of a thousand and six
hundred furlongs.
Will Israel then ask Jesus about the
holes in his hands?
Zechariah
13:6 And one shall say
unto him, What are these wounds
in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
Will Israel then realize that this is
Jesus, their Messiah, whom they rejected for so
long, who kept his word and delivered his people,
Israel?
Zechariah
12:11 In that day shall there be a
great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of
Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
12 And the land shall mourn, every
family apart; the family of the house of David
apart, and their wives apart; the family of the
house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
13 The family of the house of Levi
apart, and their wives apart; the family of
Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
14 All the families that remain, every
family apart, and their wives apart.
Perhaps I have some of these things out
of order, and perhaps I have forgotten some
important other aspects of the second advent.
Please help me to understand how these
things fit together, and in what order they occur.
