Yeshua coming soon

James was the blood brother of Yeshua and the head of the church in Jerusalem. I can therefore only believe that he knew what he was talking about when he wrote James 5:8-9

"You too, be patient; strengthen your hearts, because the coming of the Lord is near. 9 Do not complain against one another, believers, so that you will not be judged. Look! The Judge is standing right at the door."

In both these verses, James says that Yeshua's coming is near and He is standing at the door.

It must have taken quite some convincing for a half-brother to believe that their sibling is the Messiah. Just put yourself in his place. What would your sibling have to do to make you believe?

James was therefore convicted not only of Yeshua being the Messiah, but also that He would return soon.

I do understand that time is relative, but does 2000 years count as "coming soon" if the generally accepted Biblical age of the earth is anywhere between 6 and 10 thousands years; so 2000 years is a large percentage of the earth's age?

Or have we been taught to automatically add 2000 years into our thinking when we read a verse that says anything about Yeshua coming soon?

What is your thinking of what James meant by these two verses and do you know of any that might contradict these verses?

Preterism?

I got to learn a new term and a way of reading the Bible this week. Preterism...

This for me is as big a change in reading Scripture as when I came to the understanding of Torah. I had to throw out all my old understandings and study everything in Scripture like I have never hear of it before.

This is now where I am stuck. Am I taking a step too far or might this view be the truth? ?

I only came upon this over the weekend while looking at a video about the Mud Flood and how it fits in with Scripture, so it's all very new.

What I understand is that there are multiple views within Preterism. Some believe Rev. 19 has already taken place and others that all of Scripture is almost done up to the New Heaven and New Earth. I can see the former view being more likely.

For me it kinds of makes sense and quite a number of "conspiracies" fits well within it. The biggest question that keeps me looking for more information on this is "how will someone living after the millenium know that they are living during that time if history has been hidden?"

Have you maybe looked into Preterism and what have you learned so that I can learn what to look out for?

Anti-Biblical philosophies are nothing new but does that mean we have to put up with them? No, but we could... for the sake of someone else. This video is all about ministering to those who don't know any better.

Sabbath Bulletin for April 13, 2024 | First Fruits Ministries

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Messiah Yeshua. Please pray for productive prayer, fasting and introspection leading up to Passover so we can get all of the leaven out of our lives. First Fruits Ministries will meet for the Sabbath celebration on 4/13

The American Survey Center is reporting that for the first time more women than men are leaving the mainstream churches. Information they are failing to acquire is where everyone is going. The assumption is that people have given up on our Creator and some have. Others, however are leaving the entertainment and the feel good message for something else. Malachi 3:7, “ “From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says Yehovah of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?” Many are returning to be follow the Creator’s way instead of man’s way.
