What Is So Special About The Age Of Antiquity That God Would Designate It As The Single Most Important

What is so special about the age of antiquity that God would designate it as the single most important time period of his coming? Answer: nothing at all. On the other hand, 'the end of the age' (Matt. 28:20) makes Christ’s advent much more pressing than it would otherwise be considering the extraordinarily horrific circumstances that will engulf the earth. Better still, don’t you find it odd that a supposed contemporary Jew who rose from the dead made less impact on the Jews than Moses the Egyptian who died and was buried more than a thousand years earlier? (Deut. 34:5-6). Have you ever stopped to wonder why the Jews never accepted Jesus as their Messiah? Could it be because he never really existed? Think about it. And if Jesus already came, then why do we find a prophecy of his incarnation at the end of days in the book of Revelation chapter 12?

Eli of Kittim -- excerpted from his book, "The Little Book of Revelation"

The day of the LORD is near, for the LORD has prepared a sacrifice.

--Zephaniah 1:7

"According to Photius [a 9th century Byzantine Patriarch], Clement of Alexandria held at least a quasi-docetic belief regarding the nature of Christ, namely that the Word/Logos did not became flesh, but only ‘appeared to be in flesh,’ an interpretation which directly denied the reality of the incarnation."

Seldom do we embrace a new idea, especially one of a religious nature.

THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS

--Rom. 3:11

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. … And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He [Christ] who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one [the Antichrist] will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders."

--2 Thess. 2:1-9, New King James
