Why is it a problem to believe that the Lord will literally come back to earth physically and visibly to set up His eternal Kingdom on earth? The Bible evidence is overwhelming. He is presently in Heaven in His glorified body, and all the saints will receive similar bodies at the Resurrection/Rapture.
Well, He says that His Words are Spirit and they are Life and that it is the Spirit that quickens but the flesh profits nothing.
I don't think it is a problem to believe that the Lord will literally come back to earth physically but it doesn't seem to fit in with Scripture.
Matthew 24:24-27
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25 Behold, I have told you before.
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
If the Lord comes literally, physically to Earth like lightning then what about all the people on the opposite side of the world? They won't see it.
But what if the Lord comes literally Spiritually, Past, Present and Future, to those who come to Him? They wouldn't have to be told He is in the desert or He is in secret chambers. It would be like Lightning in the sky and they would Know where Christ is.
Its things like this that cause me to think and wonder. I'm not saying I am 100% right. It just seems to fit better with what the Lord says. And with what prophecies say.
Luke 17:20-24
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said,
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
