Acts 1:11; What Does this Passage Mean to You?

[nathan3]

Christ return is the day of the Lord.

But you could have just asked him, for further documentation and were the thought comes from. Now, Jude is a good verse, though its too vague for me to say, He went up with , thousands of saints etc. I know many were made alive, and came out of graves. But not sure it mentions them going up at that time.

I mean really just ask for documentation first, getting your feathers all ruffled .

This is kind silly to be so upset with Him over : Just ask questions. But might me just ministering more questions .

People are believing as true ,things that are not even biblical, and actually detrimental, much worse things I mentioned in my post before in #11

KJV1611 misquoted Jude 14 and to gain proper context check out Jude 14 and 15, Jude was referring to the day of the Lord.

well, i think he is assuming "in the same way" has reference to every detail of His return, not just that as He was taken up into the sky, also He will return coming in the sky.

He didn't leave with a shout like an archangel, or with the sound of a trumpet, and He wasn't taken up in judgement, though He will return to judge - so i don't see why i should infer that He also left with 10,000 of His saints -- although i can readily believe that a great company of angels were there to receive Him and go up with Him.

Again its silly, when people are believing as true ,things that are not even biblical, and actually detrimental.

Yeah I could have, but I had to call it out....it was done in humor and love I assure you.

Let me quote it for you in context. Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints... lol.

Jud 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

 

[Elizabeth619]

Jude said he comes with ten thousands of his saints, Acts said he left like he's coming again. He's coming back with ten thousands of his saints... he left with ten thousand of his saints.

It purposely wasn't mentioned anywhere else because that's confidential information... it's only meant for those who believe every word of the bible. It's all about faith!

Pro 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

No. No. That's not right.





Yet it seems that some still missed the point to this thread... :/

Looking up into the sky, huh?

Well, I know that that the first resurrection took place at Jesus' resurrection, not after the thousand year reign. Those Old Testament saints were resurrected and taken to heaven with Jesus... the certainly aren't sill alive today, and they certainly didn't die twice.

 

[KJV1611]

No. No. That's not right.

I didn't miss the point of the thread

Looks to me these messengers of God were getting on to the apostles for looking into the sky, so why are we? IF you spend more time looking for signs then when are you spreading the gospel?
The gospel isn't the book of Revelation so why do some of us spend more time on the end times theories than on the gospels?
Just something I have recently began to ponder.

Sorry, but your explanation of the verses have nothing to with the purpose of the verses. The verses have nothing to do with spending more time preaching the gospel. The purpose of the verses is to reveal and explain the first resurrection.

that's interesting! the gospels do record that many were raised from the dead at the crucifixion. i've never thought about it like that.

Some of us will be looking up in the sky on that day. Some of us will know when to look up.

If there was a point, you should have actually stated that at the beginning :/

In the meantime, were just discussing scriptures there as its presented; what point is better then doing that ?

PArdon me, but since I am the creator of this thread I believe I do know what the PURPOSE of it is. and when I highlights verse 11(as pointed out into the title), and you have yet to even comment on verse 11 I see that you missed it. Well, you missed it all. If these verses have nothing to do with preaching the gospel then what was the point in the Great Commission?
FYI, death, resurrection, ect is PART OF THE GOSPEL!

You're right there. I pretty much wasted valuable typing time lol.

That day? Everyone eye will see him. Not "SOME"

 

[KJV1611]

It's pretty cool, check into into. The resurrection of the just takes place in 2 events:

Firstfruits - Jesus and them that slept... not them that will sleep.
1Co 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

Ingathering - All those that will sleep in Christ until he comes.

Something seems out of place for me. First resurrection at Christ resurrection ? Now, maybe in a spiritual sense , maybe .

But physically to be absent from the body is present with the Lord, It would have already taken place ; if your talking about a physical thing. So the first resurrection doesn't fit to this time. It would have been mentioned at least.

It's a secret... shhhh!

Well Maybe not typing enough .


You posted all verse 7-11 of Acts 1:. ( which we are reading )

and highlighted part of verse 11

""Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, ""
( Which is about Christ's return )


And said :

"""I am getting at something here, but please tell me what this passage means to you, and our attitudes towards" His coming.""

You mentioned His coming. So, that's what we been talking about. You also said your "getting at something "

But failed to mention what , that something was.

 

[nathan3]

Matthew 10:27

King James Version (KJV)

27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.


But your right, you should probably Conceal what your ,going to say. haha

Apologies if this is an attempt to hijack this from where it has gone with his second coming now, with a another question to ponder off Mark 13:21...in Acts 1:7, "And He said to them, 'It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.'" In Mark 13:32 before the resurrection Jesus clearly shows us the one thing that God had not told him beforehand. However, since he is now resurrected and glorified in Acts 1:7, what is the likelihood that Jesus now knows the time of his return to restore the kingdom?

21 "Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, He is there!' do not believe it.
22 "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
23 "But take heed; see, I have told you all things beforehand.
24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
25 "the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
26 "Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27 "And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.
28 "Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender, and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near.
29 "So you also, when you see these things happening, know that it is near—at the doors!
30 "Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
31 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
32 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
33 "Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.
34 "It is like a man going to a far country, who left his house and gave authority to his servants, and to each his work, and commanded the doorkeeper to watch.
35 "Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming—in the evening, at midnight, at the crowing of the rooster, or in the morning—
36 "lest, coming suddenly, he find you sleeping.
37 "And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!"
