What Is the Second Coming?

1. 1Christ’s Second Coming, which is sure as God, is merely the correction of mistakes, and the return of sanity. 2It is a part of the condition that restores the never lost, and re-establishes what is forever and forever true. 3It is the invitation to God’s Word to take illusion’s place; the willingness to let forgiveness rest upon all things without exception and without reserve.

2. 1It is the all-inclusive nature of Christ’s Second Coming that permits it to embrace the world and hold you safe within its gentle advent, which encompasses all living things with you. 2There is no end to the release the Second Coming brings, as God’s creation must be limitless. 3Forgiveness lights the Second Coming’s way, because it shines on everything as one. 4And thus is oneness recognized at last.

3. 1The Second Coming ends the lessons that the Holy Spirit teaches, making way for the Last Judgment, in which learning ends in one last summary that will extend beyond itself, and reaches up to God. 2The Second Coming is the time in which all minds are given to the hands of Christ, to be returned to spirit in the name of true creation and the Will of God.

4. 1The Second Coming is the one event in time which time itself can not affect. 2For every one who ever came to die, or yet will come or who is present now, is equally released from what he made. 3In this equality is Christ restored as one Identity, in which the Sons of God acknowledge that they all are one. 4And God the Father smiles upon His Son, His one creation and His only joy.

5. 1Pray that the Second Coming will be soon, but do not rest with that. 2It needs your eyes and ears and hands and feet. 3It needs your voice. 4And most of all it needs your willingness. 5Let us rejoice that we can do God’s Will, and join together in its holy light. 6Behold, the Son of God is one in us, and we can reach our Father’s Love through Him.
