Okay. I appreciate the dialog. Is there a specific reference that you base the single-coming belief on, or is based on an absence of specific reference to multiple "comings?" Hope that makes sense, LOL.

You bet. Hopefully, nobody minds our little digression. ;o)

It makes sense. I understand why Christians believe in the 'second coming', because it is prophecied in their scriptures. But there is no prophecy of a 'second coming' of mashiach in the Hebrew scriptures. (There are, additionally, substantial theological differences between the Jewish and the Christian concepts of "messiah").
