And that’s got to do with exactly what about the topic of the thread?

***Understanding Who Christ Is***

Patterns. You said that my perspective is the one that needs correcting. I'm just following the patterns. The recipe.

Matthew 7:8-9 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

Luke 4

1 And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Bread made with active (live) leaven, or bread of stone made from dead leaven that does not rise. What to choose...

I think He is like the third "Ark". The the first Ark saved a handful of humanity when the Almighty made corrections in the direction life was headed on this planet, at that time.

The second "Ark" was the "Ark of the Covenant", God's plan to educate humanity about the way we should live and conduct ourselves in this world.

The third and final "Ark" is Christ, who will save those who believe in Him not only from the coming tribulation about to befall this earth, but also from the "Day of Judgement", when all others will be judged.

It all goes along with the whole sign of Jonah prophecy, and the generation of God, not 70 years, but 7,000 years.

Shadows of shadows of pictures to come. It's the Almighty's cyclic redundancy checks (CRC), placed into the scriptures that we may know of their Divine inspiration.

My belief is the second Advent will be seen by all, and it will begin with a heavenly event, those in Christ having already been "taken up".

We will only see Him again, when those living in Jerusalem say, "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!".

And knowing the majority of beliefs concerning Yeshua in his native land, I think, unfortunately, it will take some major event to change those minds, just as prophesied. JMO of course, and I hope I'm wrong as we're seeing some in the land of Israel starting to try and understand who He really was/is.

When he does return, IMO, it will by as Yeshua ben David, if that's of consolation. :) He will have the entire world in His hands, from Jerusalem.
