Questions from a viewer concerning whether the first resurrection has begun, as the Watchtower asserts. And how will the slaughtered beast revive?
QUESTION: In relation to the following passage of scripture: “While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?” What will be the sign of Jesus Christ's presence? b. Will we living today see the conclusion [...]
Video and transcript. originally posted on 27. 9. 2018 As a follow-up to yesterday's daily word, about the revealing, I thought, I would consider one aspect of the book of Daniel, that has a bearing upon the revealing of Jesus Christ, that is the visible presence of Jesus. Well, the Book of Daniel, you might say, it's all about the second coming of Jesus Christ. [...]
Parousia is a Greek word used in the Christian Greek Scriptures. It appears 24 times in the so-called New Testament. The Greek word parousia literally means “being alongside.” Most translations have mistranslated parousia as “coming”—as in the second coming of Christ. The New World Translation consistently renders parousia as “presence.” That is because presence is in contrast with absence. For example, Paul wrote to the Philippians: [...]
Wednesday, April 26 Without faith it is impossible to please God well.—Heb. 11:6. Have you ever thought, ‘Am I the kind of person Jehovah will want to save during the great tribulation and bring into the new world?’ One very important requirement is that we cultivate strong faith. The apostle Peter drew special attention to the importance of faith when he spoke of its “tested quality” that [...]
QUESTION: I again appeal to you for help in clarifying a paramount aspect of Christ’s parousia, which, according to our brothers in Bethel, supposedly is invisible. To support their doctrine of an invisible parousia, they say clouds in scripture generally represent invisibility.
Although on certain occasions that may be true, when in reference to Jehovah’s day, clouds are more often than not associated with darkness, terror, unrest etc. What is your opinion on this topic? I would also ask you to consider the vision of Daniel in chapter 7 about the Son of man coming on the clouds.
