Second Coming Articles

1). What is a Prophet – Are There Prophets in Our World Today By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
The secular and commonly held belief about prophets is that they are people who are able to “see” the future and make it known to someone, thus they are sometimes referred to as “seers.” This notion may be partly true, what this definition lacks can be the stuff you don’t know that can hurt you. The greatest single definition I have ever found is that a prophet is one who “tells forth the will and counsel of God.

2). The World Famous 666 – What is this Often Misunderstood Number and What Does it Mean By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
Question What is the mark of the beast, the now world famous 666? Answer There is more controversy flying around this loaded question than I care to address, but for the sake of those who have no knowledge at all on this subject I will try to break it down in terms that are understandable. What can be known about it for certain is that it is the mark that represents the antichrist’s economic system.

3). I’ll Fly Away Not the Song - The Truth is Still Stranger than Fiction By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
Three views about when the removal of believers takes place are held by most Christians throughout the world. Those who think we are taken at the beginning of the great tribulation are pre-tribulationists. Those who think the snatching away takes place in the middle of the great tribulation are the mid-trib folks. Finally there are the post tribulationists, which is self explanatory.

4). Is Peace in the Middle East Possible – History and the Bible Team up to Answer that Question By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
I watched one day as a news reporter interviewed a Muslim student in the lecture hall of one of America’s most prestigious schools. The young man was adorned with a silk headpiece and appeared to come from a very wealthy Arab family I supposed. When asked whether Israel had a right to live in peace in the land that they now held as their homeland he became flustered and indignant.

5). Four Prophetic Pillars That Mark Where We Are Right Now – The Timing of the Second Coming of Christ By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
We could choose dozens of references to the second coming to show that these are the times predicted just prior to the second coming. For example Jesus spoke of wars and rumors of wars. It is no secret that most of the wars fought throughout history have been fought in the last seventy five years. Or that most of the earthquakes ever recorded have taken place in the last twenty five years.

6). Is The Second Coming Of Christ The End Of The World? By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
Wars, natural disasters, droughts, famines and all sorts of general calamities are predicted just before the second coming of Christ. All of these portents are merely a prelude to the second coming of Christ but they are not signals of the end of the world, they are only signals of the second coming. When Christ returns the world does not end, what does end is the world as we know it.

7). Without A Trace - The Great Rapture Controversy By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
The rapture of the Christian is a well known matter among believers around the world. It is sometimes referred to as the catching away. Jesus spoke of it in Matthew 24:37-42 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, and marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coining of the Son of man be.

8). The Moon: One Small Step For Man - One Giant Bill For America By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
Going to the moon again is causing far more controversy today than it could have back in the sixties. Some Americans doubt we can afford it and others are not sure they have seen the “giant leap for mankind” that the first moon shot promised. It depends on who you ask but don’t dare ask me. I didn’t think the first moon landing had much significance for reasons that few people share with me.

9). Questions That Most People Ask about the Second Coming of Christ By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
In this article and the next few following, I will offer a general compilation of the most often asked questions asked of me over the years, and hopefully some sensible answers. Some answers will have solid scriptural support while others my just appeal to reason and good sense. You could get some answers by punching up your questions on the internet, perhaps on Ask Jeeves.

10). The Origins of Spurious - The Un-Intelligent Design of Darwinism By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
The basis for this article is connected to a well known Bible verse from 2 Thessalonians 2:11. It is important to keep this reference in context with the surrounding verses. The entire chapter is the best context here as it seems to be centered on this one single idea, namely that Christ will not return until the Anti-Christ appears and finishes his brief but horrific rule.

11). Why Must the Lord Return When He Does – God’s Version of Enough is Enough By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
There are many ways that God enters into judgment with both individuals and entire nations. There is only one reason why he enters into judgment and that is rampant immorality and sin. The nations have followed the same path as ancient Israel. Like Israel they sought God for a time, but when they were secure and full they started backsliding into every imaginable sin.

12). Trinity of Truth – How to Stay off The Merry Go Round of Speculation about the Second Coming of Christ By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
The conservative approach to God and his word has a kind of trinity of truth at the heart of its doctrine. All three parts of this trinity come from the Bible but together they are what can assure us that we have found a true biblical conservatism. It is not always a failsafe and at times may still produce some controversy among the believers, but it is an altogether safer platform from which to start any search for biblical truth and the salvation of God.

13). America – Is it in Bible prophecies and what can the USA expect at the second coming of Jesus Christ? By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
This is perhaps the most often asked question heard in connection with the second coming, at least for Americans. It a reasonable question for any North American to ask, but it is far from easy to answer. I would be remiss if I were to say that the Bible expressly names America in any passage from Genesis to Revelation. That some passages may refer to America is very possible but not provable and that is the very kind of conjecture I will not entertain.

14). The Sign of Signs - Who is That Fool on the Corner with the Sign about the End of the World? By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
The Pope it is said condemned the use of the cross bow when it was first introduced. He apparently thought it could be the demise of the whole world because it was so deadly. When cannons were first invented some thought that marked the end of the world. Now we have a weapon that could bring an end to all life on the planet, the hydrogen bomb, and certainly there are people who still believe that it might yet bring about the end of civilization.

15). Harvard Professors and TV Producers – Do They really Know Much About the Second Coming of Christ By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
In a world bent on acquiring ever more knowledge being referred to as being intelligent has supplanted the idea of a moral and decent life. I attended a funeral where the deceased was known for having been a cranky, ungodly, unloving man throughout his entire life. I thank God I wasn’t asked to give the eulogy. The person that had to deliver the eulogy was hard put to find a decent word to say about the deceased.

16). American Style Excuses – How to Stay Blissfully Ignorant About the Second Coming of Christ By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
Question: Because Jesus said ...but of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Mt 24:36, doesn’t that mean that we shouldn’t spend too much time learning about the second coming of Christ? Answer: To use this verse as an incentive to ignore second coming doctrine would he the same as using it as an excuse.

17). Something All Americans Can Give to Victims and Heroes of 9/11 By : Rev. Michael Bresciani
What Americans can give to the victims and heroes of 9/11 is not all that different than what they gave after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. The nature of the offense to America is so radically different than it was on those who perished at Pearl Harbor that it requires a great deal more careful thought and discernment. The enemy that caused the events of 9/11 is positioned throughout the world and in the most cowardly way remains largely in hiding.
