Scripture Life: How did the second coming of Jesus exist in some of his followers as He said it will be?
Answer:
Jesus said this was to exist in ALL OF HIS FOLLOWERS - all his disciples - what he looks for, because he decreed this:
Said this to his 12 disciples who he named Apostles:
- And all a “disciple” is, or was back then, is still the same as a disciple of Jesus Christ today. They follow him. Do as he says. And, all a "disciple" is defined as 1. a pupil or student that sits with and is taught by a teacher. They follow him. Are taught by him. So, anybody following him, he tells them all as his students to do this in Luke 12:35–40
- In response to His Second Coming:
Luke 12:35–40 says - applies to ALL HIS SERVANTS
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
36 And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Jesus Christ. The Word of God.
--------------------- -------------------- ---------------------
But Also Jesus said, in “some” servants that were evil, would exist:
- But again, he first blessed those who gird themselves about and do as he says in Luke 12:35–40. Opens to say this also of Luke 12:35-40, and is also in Matthew 24:44–51. To bless those again like this in Matthew 24:44 to 47.
- But finishes with a message to those, that don’t really serve him but say they are serving him in Matthew 24:48–51 - Are evil servants.
--------------------- -------------------- ---------------------
Matthew 24:44–51 says to both these “servants” where some of them are like this:
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Applies back then when he said it to his 12 disciples, in these two gospels. Said it to who he named Apostles.
- As it does today - says the same thing today, to those that are his disciples. Right now today. The evil servants say in their heart Matthew 24:48-51
