A second coming in the physical form would imply He didn't get the job done in the first place. I obviously think this is not the case. On the good side next in line is Buddha 6 and Michael's little helpers (not in this order). On the evil side there will be a few antichrists in crescendo until the final boss... Next major calamity is more than 58 centuries ahead imo.

it literally says as much in Enoch, search the text for "Head of Days" in reference to Noah, i'm not sure if the word was "regret" or "lament" but admission of error was very clear in my memory when reading it and further, Jesus was not born at that point, and i'm not going to buy into this "the word was god" doctrine in this, not least of all being because the first part of Matthew is literally his list of ancestors and the subject of his conception is central to pretty much all forms of Christianity the contradiction might have something to do with this trinity doctrine, which i think is also a mistake, and the other thing is that whatever traces there was of the event described in the first few books of the New Testament in history have been lost or obscured, it could well have happened earlier than 2000 years ago because probably not coincidentally there was a whole crop of this kind of religion springing up all across the world 2500 years ago, in china, in india, in the middle east (Zoroaster and others) i'm just not going to "trust the word" of a book that has been collated and selected by an organisation that is publicly known to have a LOT of old books that it lets nobody know about, one that has a very bad reputation of being populated by pedophiles what makes me sure this is the time coming is that the whole scheme is based on a natural phenomenon of catastrophic energy and magnetic field changes that we are starting to really see, this year more than the previous solar cycle, and the record of auroras and all this, pointing towards a model that suggests that we are on the precipice of a massive rearrangement of the land and water of this planet, or like it says in many apocalyptic texts - that no thing is left upon another"

Not a big fan of the mud flood theory. There was a shift of gears in the 15th century imo. As for the Bible, it was heavily edited. Old languages are a lot more versatile than current ones. There is a zero chance of understanding its text without revelation because words had dozens of meanings which are now lost in translation. This goes for all sacred text that I know of regardless of religion. However, I don't deny an inspiration from a higher being for such texts. I'm just making the claim it wasn't God who dictated any of them. There is an obvious distinction between the creator of all things and the administrator of our reality. Some call it the Demiurge. I prefer Mr. Administrator. The same way many lunatics claim they're Satoshi Nakamoto. Similarly, the admin reached a high enough level to control stuff, yet no high enough to create life. All in all, the worst mistake I see done over and over again is to overlap Lucifer with Mr Admin. If Jesus is the middle way, it's basic geometry that there are two kinds of extremes. On one end is materialism and at the other is the demented desire to escape matter without understanding its purpose. My two sats.

so you are an adherent to the "mud flood" theory that history was all covered up a bit over 200 years ago? i've seen this one on Donut Factory it was interesting but most of her points are silly, like mezanine basements common during the 18th/19th century buildings they don't explain the dinosaurs nearly as well as the pole shift hypothesis in my view
