Another Response to "Do we really want Jesus to return?"

There is another response to "Do we really want Jesus to return?" While the language, used in this post, is... well... a bit hysterical, the post raises two important points. Here is the post:

You are acctually gonna wait for jesus to come back? And what happens when he does? will you believe it is him? Will you follow Satan to your own destruction? You need a serious reality check here man. You need to read the book of revalations. Satan is coming first. And he will try and trick you into believing he is Jesus. If you follow him there is no turning back. Why would you listen to fools and think jesus is returning first? You should never listen to men over gods word. You need to check this out for yourself. And please don't fall for him.

The first point, that he raises, is that we should not wait for Jesus because Satan is coming first.

The second point, that he raises, is that by waiting for Jesus we would be fooled into following Satan.

Here is my response:


Yes, I am, the Bible tells us to long for His return.

2 Timothy 4:8
Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.


No, I will not be deceived by Satan. He can do all the tricks he wants but he can not do what Jesus will do upon returning: raising us up into heaven.

1 Thessalonians 4:13:17
Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.
