Second Coming

Quotes from Data

“The idea here is that this second coming, Jesus's kingdom arriving on earth, will happen within the first generation of followers of Jesus.”

Dan McClellan Episode 32

“We've talked in the past about how the Olivet Discourse makes it sound like the second coming is going to happen immediately after the events that are being described. And the events that are being described sound an awful lot like what happened around the year 70 CE when Rome had been laying siege to Judea for a while and, and destroyed Jerusalem, destroyed the temple in Jerusalem, ran off the Jewish rebels.”

Dan McClellan Episode 119

“Usually the Second Coming is what ushers in that millennium where we have a thousand years of peace and Jesus reigning on the earth.”

Dan McClellan Episode 71

“And, and there's a legend within Mormonism that everybody's going to gather there for the apocalypse, the second coming and all that. So it seems like it was kind of in the air.”
