Henri J.M. Nouwen
“Is God present or is he absent? Maybe we can say now that in the center of our sadness for his absence we can find the first signs of his presence. And that in the middle of our longings we discover the footprints of the one who has created them. It is in the faithful waiting for the loved one that we know how much he has filled our lives already. Just as the love of a mother for her son can grow while she is waiting for his return, and just as lovers can rediscover each other during long periods of absence, so also our intimate relationship with God can become deeper and more mature while we wait patiently in expectation for his return.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life

Stefan Emunds

“You’re an immortal, divine being. A little god, and yet, you toil like a slave. Isn’t that hilarious?”
Stefan Emunds, The Second Coming of Jesus Christ - A Short Story

Stefan Emunds
“The soul is imbued with a yearning that is carried, like a torch, from incarnation to incarnation. It burns with a curiosity about life and it’s true identity. Souls live, strive, and evolve, driven to seeking the truth about the world and themselves.”
Stefan Emunds, The Second Coming of Jesus Christ - A Short Story

Steve Sanchez
“The Second Coming of Christ is essentially the revealing of the internal sense of the Word.”
Steve Sanchez, Rethinking Redemption

Stefan Emunds
“We are used to the thought that we’ll go to Heaven if we avoid sins or have our pastor remove them. To labor ourselves into paradise is a new and somewhat discouraging perspective.”

“The solemn and devotional ceremonies of the Piscean Age and the fear of God will give way to a friendly, intimate relationship with God. At long last, Jesus� happy teachings will resurface.”

“Doomsday sells, but doesn’t ring with truth. Could it be that the Apocalypse is a personal eschatology?”
Stefan Emunds, The Second Coming of Jesus Christ - a Short Essay

“As my Advent celebration approaches its end, I remember how merciful the Lord has been. My eyes move reluctantly from the manger. But if I emulate the wise men, who followed the star that led them to Jesus, my view will move across the poignant scenes of Christ’s mortal life, be stopped short by wonder and gratitude as I consider the incomparable gift of His atonement, crucifixion, and resurrection, and then lift to the promised dawn of His second coming. As I consider His promised return, I might ask myself, “When that day comes, will I kneel and joyfully exclaim that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Light of the World, my Redeemer, Deliverer, and Savior, or will it be truth that compels me to confess His name?� Today, as my celebration by candlelight of His first advent draws to a close, I resolve to let Him prevail in my life so that my adoration of Him in the brilliant light of His second advent will be spontaneous, heartfelt, and unrestrained.”
Jean-Michel Hansen

Aleksandar Ilić
“Nestankom interneta svet kakav poznajemo bi se raspao i prestao da postoji. U tom usporenom, postapokaliptičnom svetu internet bi bio mit o davno izgubljenom raju, proročanstvo koje bi se prenosilo telegramima i fiksnim telefonima. Pokolenja bi sedela na grobljima mašina i zaboravljene tehnologije čekajući drugi dolazak interneta.”

A.D. Aliwat
“Who was Steve Jobs, anyway? An adopted half-Arab on acid, really. Everything you need to know is right there. Close enough to Jesus to confuse some into thinking he might’ve been the second coming, but far enough, when you know the facts, like Ray does, to reveal himself for what he really was: the Antichrist.”
A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

A.D. Aliwat
“Maybe he is the second coming of Christ. Maybe we all are.”
A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

A.D. Aliwat
“There are no such things as mistakes, not in this universe. Maybe he really was the second coming of Christ, yes, yes, maybe we all are. Whatever happens does for a reason, and that reason is the teleological order of all things, the rhythm of the universe.”
A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

Aiyaz Uddin
“How ironic is this to believe that the Messiah would come to solve a property dispute on earth while he is coming along with Jesus returning to rule over hearts of the humanity and to establish the kingdom of God on the earth.”

“There is no second coming, there’s no reincarnation, except when we go from selfishness to kindness.”

“Hero Worship (The Sonnet)

We used to worship the sun and the moon,
We used to worship stones and trees.
Then reason grew stronger along with imagination,
So our worship shifted from elements to entities.
Some of them were real and some fully fictitious,
We just needed an excuse to externalize our divinity.
Even today we keep inventing fictitious characters,
Despite knowing they are fiction we pledge our loyalty.
It seems like we are always holding out for a hero,
Outside our very own everyday, ordinary psyche.
Fiction is healthy so long as we grow no dependency,
Real heroes are just humans standing unbent on duty.
Enough with worship of fiction from comics and scriptures!
It's time to be the hero and take the world on our shoulders.”

“Sonnet of Holy Water

A new day starts with a new you,
And I ain't talkin' about born again nonsense.
A bigot baptized a thousand times is still a bigot,
A human helping another is Christ himself.
There is no second coming, there’s no reincarnation,
Except when we go from selfishness to kindness.
We are the messiahs and saviors of our people,
Nobody's gonna fall from the sky to lift the helpless.
The liquor store sells you the same divinity,
That the holy store sells you for even higher price.
We'll be born again when we abolish such divinity,
By baptizing the soil of society with our sacrifice.
The tears of joy someone sheds because of you,
Are the only holy water to build the world anew.”

“Imagine hiring a plumber who shows up, looks at your fucked plumbing, then announces, 'I shall return thousands, millions or billions of years from now and then I will fix all the plumbing and everything will be perfect. Trust me. Honest, Guv.' What would you do? Put up with your fucked plumbing and pray every day to the Plumber Messiah who never comes and never fixes any plumbing, or hire a different plumber who actually does his fucking job and fixes your broken plumbing? The idea of a Messiah who shows up and is so clueless and inept that he can’t think of anything better than committing 'suicide by Romans' is like the darkest comedy sketch ever. Jesus Christ is not a plumber who fixes the plumbing. This is a plumber who shows up and wrecks the plumbing, then promises to come back, but never does.”
David Sinclair

“Like the Christian Second Coming, science’s promissory materialism is never delivered, and, like the Second Coming, it will never be delivered, yet science’s believers go on believing, just as Christian believers go on believing.”
David Sinclair, Universals Versus Particulars: The Ultimate Intellectual War

“Bicameralism provides humanity with the most glorious prospect and reveals the true nature of the Second Coming. Christ will not return as an individual. He will return as all of us. He will simultaneously link to the right hemisphere of all virtuous humanity, and all of us will literally become Christ. That is the Second Coming right there.”
James Axel, The Christian Detective: A Project Proving the Christian Truth

Dex added, “God blinded a generation specifically so we can develop it. God didn’t want people to have these flying machines until it fits into his plan. So, it’s God’s timing. The world isn’t falling apart; it’s falling together toward God’s plan. He wins in the end! He is planning something fantastic, isn’t he?”
Jim Campbell, Nineveh Rising

John Patrick
“The rapture is after the Tribulation, it is easy as 1 - 2 3. Read Matthew 24:15 (1) and Matthew 24:21 (2) and Matthew 24: 29-31 (3) Jesus outlines this so so clearly. His Word is and will continue to be a light unto our path!”
John Patrick, Triumph in Tribulation: "Don't Be Left Behind in Spirit"

Leonard Ravenhill
“Oh, Wonder of Wonders

Oh, wonder of wonders
My God, can it be
That Jesus has died
For one rebel like me

He lifted my bondage
And soul's misery
The Lord, King of glory
Was wounded for me

They led Him to trial
They spit in His face
He bore it alone
Oh, amazing His grace

He bowed neath his burden
Was scourged in my place
I'll sing it forever
Amazing His grace

With hands full of mercy
With hearts full of good
My spotless Redeemer
Was nailed to the wood

He suffered Hell's torment
My soul to set free
Deserted by God
As He hung on the tree

He died, but he rose
He extracted death's sting
He is living enthroned
My savior, my king

Let the earth hear His voice
Men and angels proclaim
'He's coming! He's coming!'
He's coming again

With the saints marching in
I shall be at that throne
In the great 'hallelujahs'
I'll join in that song

With apostles and prophets
My best, Lord with thee
I shall live! I shall live!
Eternally”
Leonard Ravenhill, Revival God's Way

St. Thomas  Church
“As we near the second coming of our precious Lord Jesus Christ, this call back to worship of Himself is getting louder. The very heavenly worship (Isaiah 6, Revelation 5) is on-going and soon time will be no more and we will fully enter into that reality. The reason for our Church gathering to focus our eyes on Christ as the Lamb of God in the centre of the throne.”
St. Thomas Church, An Ancient Worship Movement
