Have you ever seen a superhero rescue a person that was living in peace? So what exactly will our hero do when he returns? Is God going to go through the thousands of years of restoring His children through religion just so he can take a few children and destroy the earth and leave the rest to be damned eternally? What parent gives up on their children?
If imperfect parents will go through the fire to save their child, how much more heart does God have for His lost ones?
Jesus came the first time to bring Heaven. What happened to the rest...On Earth?
Simply the Messiah returns as he did before: to bring Heaven On Earth. He said it many times, Heaven is at hand. It is in the midst of us. No one in his time could understand him fully.
Why does God wait for centuries to pass while His children suffer, are murdered, tortured before rescuing us? Why wait for the world to get worse before sending his hero? Why didn't Jesus fully burn up sin from the earth when he first came?
Why didn't he bring Heaven on Earth at Jesus's time to save His people from Roman persecution? Because something went terribly wrong in his time, and God was unable to fully fulfill the providential will of heaven.
God's Process of Restoring Us
God never decided that when humans fell far from His Will in the Garden of Eden that he would wait thousands or scientifically millions of years later to save His children. I do not believe in a Father such as that.
After the Fall, God started within Adam and Eve's family to restore humanity. He was logical. His plan was to immediately restore just one family and not wait millions of years to teach 7 billion people to change their hearts toward Him through religion.
He wanted to work through Cain and Abel. Abel (God's side) and Cain (enemy side). Abel was meant to win over his brother's heart through love. Then Cain was supposed to submit to his younger brother, and then they both obtain the blessing. Then humanity would have returned to God's original ideal through Cain and Abel and the Messiah would have returned within that time.
Evil would disappear in Adam and Eve's family.
Can you imagine that if Cain had not murdered Abel, our history would be one of victory instead of sin and sorrow? No one teaches of this fact.
But Cain killed Abel, then God had to work again and again through a figure representing Abel and another figure representing Cain. This process went on century after century until He finally had victory with Jacob and Esau who were twins. But something was left unfinished. Humans are still born into sin. Our blood still needs to be saved, this is not God's original idea.
This is why Jesus returns to give us the new truth that he couldn't tell his disciples who deserted him. Jesus agonized that his disciples were not able to fully comprehend his higher teachings. Jesus told his followers how could they understand the things of heaven if they could not even believe in the earthly things he proclaimed. We don't truly grasp it today and neither did the Israelites.If we were living in Jesus's time would we fully understand his teachings or stick ardently to the Old Testament teachings of Moses law like the Israelites did?
So what is this truth he couldn't tell his disciples?
This truth is revealed in our time, and thus will unify the world while he is on earth. The Messiah does not come to give up on earth and take a precious select few to heaven, but to save all of humanity and usher them toward a world of peace.
How All God's Children Will Win
When humanity accepts the Messiah's ideology, we will be able to finish the process of restoration that God was trying to accomplish through Cain and Abel and in other time periods. God's side will be victorious and make the enemy in every form voluntarily submit.
World Peace is achieved when fallen people restore their hearts toward God.
This is why, behind history spanning several thousand years, God has been carrying out the work of searching for this one person in order to reorganize the history of humankind filled with evil.
Then, who should that person be?
Should it be a woman, or should it be a man?
Have you ever noticed that throughout history that every major religion was created by one sex - all were created by man. Is this chauvinistic?
The Messiah should be a man, because when God created humans, he created Adam first. Because He created Adam first, we must go through Adam for restoration. Eve was created from Adam's rib with Adam as the origin and Eve has to work through a man for restoration.
All of human history has been in search of a perfected man. At the time of creation, woman was created after man; therefore, it is an unchangeable fact that history is in search of a man.
Who is the Messiah?
What kind of man can be called the Messiah in front of God's standard? The Messiah is the eldest son, the first born son of God. The Messiah is the starting point, and first person to receive God's direct love.
This is why Jesus, referring to himself, said he was the "only son" of God. Being the only son means to receive all the love.
The Messiah is the person who is qualified to convey God's entire love to the individual, family, clan and the World.
When the bible asked when Jesus returns will he find faith on earth, it did not pertain to the amount of followers he had. It was asking if there would be those that would pick up their cross and follow his return unto death. Will he find that when it came time to fight the enemy with the fire of the Word, or would his followers scatter once more?
Why would anyone ask if Jesus is going to find faith on earth when he is returning to end all the conflict?
Because, just like before, Jesus needed his followers to finish the process of completely restoring the world - he needed followers. Jesus could not restore Israel all by himself, he needed his disciples to follow until the end. Instead, at the end when Jesus was being sent to prison, all of his disciples ran away.
There is a conventional belief that humanity will be restored with just the mere appearance of the Messiah returning. Poof! The world is perfected. Poof! The people are cleansed completely. Even superheroes need people to cooperate to save the world.
Believers should understand that each human is given a percentage of responsibility with the providence of restoration.
If all creation could be automatically restored with the appearance of the Messiah, why did it not happen the first time, and why wait 2000 years?
This belief causes many people to disbelieve in such a god who does not care about the suffering of his children who cry out endlessly to him. We should know that God's heart was to restore Adam and Eve quickly and within their immediate family.
When Cain killed Abel, God had to go through countless saints until he found Jesus. And again humanity failed in their responsibility to unite with the Messiah.
No matter how much God and the Messiah prepare the world to completely return to God's ideal, complete restoration will not happen without humanity following using their 5 % responsibility.
Every human was given 5% responsibility in every part of creation; this is called free will.
This is important in order to understand that Armageddon is a choice we make on a global level. Are we truly following God in these Last Days standing with the Messiah against the enemy as it attacks our mind and body?
It is up to us to choose God absolutely in every part of our lives and not to give up our power to the enemy.Many believe that The Messiah returns to blast the world away and take followers to live in the sky during the resurrection, and the eternal world that God created is left empty of His children.
The mistake that caused hell on earth did not happen in the sky - it happened on earth. The fall began from a couple on earth and human beings on earth and must be reversed through a couple on earth.
We Need God's Love
Humankind lost true love through the fall and broke God's heart at the sight of losing his children. In other words, the Messiah is the one who comes to restore the lost true love. In doing so, he not only heals humanity through reconnecting us to God's love, but he also heals God's heart as well.
When an unmarried man and woman love each other, they will defy even death in order to fulfill their love, just as Eve and Adam had done in the Garden.
When we become one with God's love, we will be able to practice God's love.
This will be realized when the Messiah comes and links God's love to us. The Messiah is the person with a unified mind and body, and has God's true love dwelling in him. The Messiah is the person who brings God's love, which can unify the world, unify the nation, unify family and the individual.
God's will is to send the Messiah who can become the subject of love and build the world of love. God is trying to realize World Peace through religion; therefore, religion is a necessary footstool for the Messiah to proclaim God's message of unity.
