Jesus' Voice in His First Coming vs. His Voice in His Second Coming - Christmas Special Part 5

When Jesus came the first time, He was born as in infant human. He came crying in the night. (Tweet that!) He had the voice of a newborn baby.

The next time Jesus comes, He will come with a shout! He will come with a powerful voice no one can ignore! He will have a voice that roars as the rushing sound of many waters! (Tweet that!)

Here is where the Bible and prophecy tells us this:

His First Coming

And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." (Luke 2:10-12)

His Second Coming

Then I [John] turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. (Revelation 1:12-15)


I wish to acknowledge: The first 6 of this series of 7 blog posts was inspired by the chart "The First and Second Comings of Christ" on page 198 of the book Agents of the Apocalypse by Dr. David Jeremiah.

For Jesus' First Coming the Inn Was Closed, His Second Coming Heaven Will Open - Christmas Special Part 4

When Jesus came the first time, the doors of the local hotel, the inn, were closed shut. (Tweet that!)

When Jesus comes the next time, in the not-too-distant future, the doors of heaven itself will be opened! (Tweet that!)

Here is where the Bible tells us this:

His First Coming


In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.  (Luke 2:1-7)

His Second Coming


After this I [John] looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this." At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. (Revelation 4:1-3)

In Jesus' First Coming Surrounded by Animals, His Second Coming Surrounded by Armies - Christmas Special Part 3

When Jesus came the first time, He came to a poor couple who were traveling with thousands of others to comply with a royal edict requiring a census. When they arrived in Bethlehem, the city of David, the local hotel was already filled to capacity. So they ended up staying in a stable for animals, probably a cave...along with the animals, surrounded by cattle. He was laid in a feeding trough for the animals. (Tweet that!)

The next time Jesus comes, He will be surrounded by the armies of heaven! (Tweet that!)

This is where the Bible tells us this:

His First Coming


And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in the highest,
    and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!"
When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them. (Luke 2:8-20)

His Second Coming


Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. (Revelation 19:11-14)

Jesus' First Coming in Swaddling Clothes vs. His Second Coming (Video) - Christmas Special Part 2

When Jesus came the first time, He came small, and poor -- nothing like a King. This reminds me of the song, "How Should a King Come?" (See video below.) (Tweet that!)

The next time He comes, He will come as the most awesome King, as royalty! As a warrior King. Will you be of His army? Or of the army of His enemy? Choose now. Choose wisely.

Here is where the Bible tells us this:

His First Coming


In Jesus' first coming He was wrapped in swaddling clothes and given a manger for a crib. (Tweet that!)

"And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn." Luke 2:7

His Second Coming


The Bible tells us of His Second Coming when He comes to defeat Satan and evil. He is clothed in a royal robe dipped in blood -- which stands for the blood He shed on the cross at His first coming in order to pay the death penalty for every sinner who will accept His gift.  (Tweet that!) Have you accepted His gift? You can do so right now in prayer. (Tweet that!)

Here is the Bible prophecy that tells us about His Second Coming:

"Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." Revelation 19:13

How Should a King Come?

Jesus' First Coming Born in Obscurity vs. His Prophesied Second Coming - Christmas Special Part 1

Again this year I've planned a special series of Christmas posts for December 2015. (Tweet that!) I hope you enjoy them.

The long-prophesied Messiah, Jesus the Christ, came into the world just over 2,000 years ago. He came quietly, and most the world was unaware of His arrival. (Tweet that!) During His life He made Himself known. And while there were, perhaps, many people in the world at that time who did not hear of Him, through all the centuries since He is still known. He made an impact on this world, changing the eternal destinies of uncountable numbers of men and women, and that work continues today.

While Jesus came once in obscurity, He is coming again with power and great glory! (Tweet that!)

The Bible gives many prophecies about His next coming, His Second Coming. His next coming will be amazingly different than His first! (Tweet that!)

This month of December, leading up to Christmas -- which is the celebration of Jesus' first coming -- we're going to look at 7 comparisons between His first coming and His prophesied second coming which will surely take place... and I believe soon. (Tweet that!)

I hope you enjoy this series! Merry Christmas.

His First Coming


In Jesus' first coming, He was born in obscurity.

"... Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men."  (Philippians 2:5-7, ESV)

His Second Coming


When Jesus comes again, every eye, every human being on earth, will see Him! Here is the Bible prophecy that tells us this:

"Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen." (Revelation 1:7)

I wish to acknowledge: The first 6 of this series of 7 blog posts was inspired by the chart "The First and Second Comings of Christ" on page 198 of the book Agents of the Apocalypse by Dr. David Jeremiah.

Special Announcement: 

I have been posting on this blog three times a week. As you might imagine, that takes a lot of time in researching, writing, and preparing each post. At this time in my writing career, I have a lot of opportunities and projects I'd like to pursue, so I've made the decision to cut the number of posts back to two per week for the month of December until Christmas, allowing me to get more work done in other areas. New posts will appear here Tuesdays and Fridays. Then we'll take a holiday from Christmas to New Year's Day.

John Paul Jackson shares "The Perfect Storm Revisited: Part 2" (Video)

John Paul Jackson
Bible Prophecy Teacher
In my previous post, we watched a 15 minute video recorded December 30, 2009, by John Paul Jackson. That was Part 1 of his "The Perfect Storm Revisited." (Tweet that!)

Today we'll see Part 2 of that video. This video says it was actually recorded December 30, 2009, although it was posted to Youtube on July 23, 2015.

Again, as mentioned in my previous, this man died on February 18, 2015. It is amazing to me to think about where he is now -- with the Lord Jesus -- watching what is happening on the earth from Glory and the perspective of eternity. (Tweet that!)

I also tend to think about why the Lord may have taken him home last February. He must have completed his mission and the work the Lord had for him to do. Ironically John Paul Jackson speaks of Jeremiah prophesying for 23 years and then Daniel didn't even learn of his prophecies until after Jeremiah had died.

In this video John Paul Jackson answers a lot of the "Why?" questions he receives.

(There is an ad in the middle of the video. I do not make anything off this video, just so you know...)

Here is Part 2 of "The Perfect Storm Revisited" with John Paul Jackson. (Tweet that!)

We're taking the day off today for the American holiday Thanksgiving, started by the Pilgrims who settled America and following their example to give thanks to the One True God, the God of the Bible, for His provision, grace, and mercy.

Have great day. See you Saturday.
