This statement indicates you have a strong faith in Jesus. Respectfully, I can acknowledge a generic "Christ Consciousness", but I am not a follower of Jesus. So it's best that I duck out of this discussion. It looks like Ellen is better able to serve here - as well as Jahn and Juhani, no doubt.
I kind of want to reply to this thread also, but am afraid to upset a christian apple-cart.
I do want to say that a lot of the ideas in the Bible are out-dated. And our world today has changed so much and is changing (evolving) at breakneck speeds.
A quickening?
I agree with the idea that if there was/is a 2nd coming, folks would most likely miss it. Would probably be a lucky thing for Jesus, though
who wants to be crucified twice?
Or drowned
Or hanged
Or stoned
