083. Is Jesus Coming Back?

We challenge the modern end-times script by testing rapture language, second coming claims, and “watch the news” theology against Jesus’ own timeline in Luke 21. We argue that AD 70 and the destruction of Jerusalem sit at the centre of the prophecy many believers keep pushing into the future, and we call for a return to the finished work of Christ and our identity under the new covenant. • spiritual hunger created by rhetoric and double talk • asking whether beliefs come from Scripture or hearsay • a personal trigger moment that exposes rapture assumptions • comparing Moody Bible Institute claims with biblical timelines • Jesus’ sign of Jerusalem surrounded by armies • “this generation” as a first-century time marker • AD 70 history and parallels drawn with Revelation • questioning third-temple expectations and modern Israel narratives • challenging dispensational claims that recast the cross as accidental • returning to grace, finality, and believers as God’s temple Blog Post: https://wakinguptograce.com/083-is-jesus-coming-back/
