A segunda vinda de Cristo
A segunda vinda de Cristo é a esperança suprema da Igreja. Jesus prometeu que voltará com poder e grande glória para julgar os vivos e os mortos e estabelecer seu Reino eterno.
A promessa do retorno
Jesus prometeu voltar. Os anjos declararam que Ele virá da mesma forma como ascendeu. A Igreja aguarda esse dia glorioso com expectativa.
Which also said, You2f men of Galil [circuit, district], why stand you2f gazing up into heaven? this same Yeshua [God is Salvation], which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you2f have seen him go into heaven.
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Which also said, You2f men of Galil [circuit, district], why stand you2f gazing up into heaven? this same Yeshua [God is Salvation], which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you2f have seen him go into heaven.
Let not your heart be troubled: you2f believe in God-The Father, believe also in me.
In my Father’s house are many offices: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] you2f may be also.
He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation].
He which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation].
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Os sinais dos tempos
Jesus descreveu os sinais que precederão sua volta: falsos profetas, guerras, fome, terremotos e tribulação. Devemos discernir os tempos sem nos alarmar.
As he sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Kefa [pebble], Ya’akov [He who grabs onto the heal of] and Andrew [of a man] asked him secretly: ‘When will these things be and what will be the sign when all these matters will take place, or when will they begin and when will be the end of the world and your coming?’
Yeshua [God is Salvation] answered them: "Beware lest anyone should lead you astray",
"because many will come in my name saying: ‘I am the messiah, and they will lead many astray".
"As for you, when you hear of wars and companies of hosts, beware lest you become foolish, because all this will occur, but the end will not be yet".
"Then they will bind you over for tribulation and will kill you, and you will be a reproach (disgrace; shame) to all the nations for my name".
"Then many will be confused, deal treacherously with each other, and be enraged among themselves".
"False prophets will arise and lead many astray".
"When ungodliness multiplies, the love of many will grow weak".
"Whoever waits until the end will be saved".
"And this good news of the Kingdom of heaven will be preached in all the earth for a witness concerning me to all the nations and then the end will come".
"Because there will be great distress which has not been from the creation of the world until now and as will not be".
"Except those days were few, no flesh would be saved; but for the sake of the chosen those days will be few".
"At that time, if one should say to you: ‘Look! the messiah is here’ or ‘there’ do not believe it".
"Because false messiahs and false prophets will arise and they will give signs and great wonders so that, if possible, they will come to lead the chosen astray".
"Behold! I tell you before it happens".
"At that time, if one should say to you: ‘Look! the messiah is here’ or ‘there’ do not believe it".
"Because false messiahs and false prophets will arise and they will give signs and great wonders so that, if possible, they will come to lead the chosen astray".
"Behold! I tell you before it happens".
"Then if they should say to you: ‘Look! he is in the wilderness, do not go out, and; ‘Look! he is in the inner chamber’ do not believe it".
Again he said to them: "Beware of false prophets who come to you in wool clothing like sheep, but inside are tearing wolves"
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in different places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.
But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues you2f shall be beaten: and you2f shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
And the Gospel (joyful message) must first be published among all nations.
Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against [their] parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
And you2f shall be hated of all [men] for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
And great earthquakes shall be in different places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
A vinda gloriosa
Cristo virá nas nuvens com poder e grande glória, enviará seus anjos e reunirá seus escolhidos dos quatro ventos.
"At that time, after the tribulation of those days, the sun will grow dark, the moon will not give forth its light, the stars will fall from heaven, and the host of heaven will be shaken".
"Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven and all the families of the earth will weep and will see the Son of Man on the clouds of heaven with a great host and with dreadful appearance".
"He will send his angels with a trumpet and with a great shout to gather his chosen from the four winds of heaven, from one end of heaven unto the other".
"From the fig tree learn the parable; when you see its branches and leaves sprouting know that summer is near".
"So also when you see all these things you will know that He is near to the gates",
"Because the Son of The Mighty One will come in the glory of his Father Who is in heaven with his angels to reward each man according to his work".
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draws near.
And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
For the Lord - Kurios himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God-The Father: and the dead in Moshiach [Messiah] shall rise first:
Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord - Kurios in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord - Kurios.
For what reason comfort one another with these words.
Vigilância e preparo
Ninguém sabe o dia nem a hora. Jesus nos ordena a vigiar, orar e estar prontos, pois Ele virá quando menos esperamos.
Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: "Therefore watch with me because you do not know at what hour your Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] is coming".
Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: "Therefore watch with me because you do not know at what hour your Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] is coming".
"So you should be prepared, because you do not know at what hour the Son of Man is going to come".
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be burdened (weighed down) with overindulgence (excess food or drink), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch you2f therefore, and pray always, that you2f may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.
But the end of all things is at hand: be you2f therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
And the very God-The Father of peace sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) you wholly; and [I pray God-The Father] your whole Spirit [Ruach] and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].
So that you2f come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]:
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that you2f may be] blameless in the day of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].
A esperança bendita
A aguardamos a bendita esperança e a manifestação da glória do nosso grande Deus e Salvador Jesus Cristo.
For the grace of God-The Father that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Looking for that Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God-The Father and our Saviour Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah];
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar (particular; special; one’s own) people, zealous of good works.
Being confident of this very thing, that he which has begun a good work in you will finish [it] until the day of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]:
And grieve not the holy Spirit [Ruach] of God-The Father, whereby you2f are sealed unto the day of redemption.
So Moshiach [Messiah] was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them without sin that look for him shall he appear the second time unto salvation..
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as you2f see the day approaching.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord - Kurios, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which youi have, that no man take youri crown.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord - Kurios as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
