That's interesting, I'll think about that, thanks user.

A question

And likely many thousands of others.
Dead people rising everywhere.
Hunter Fisher
Thank you all for the answers you have given me, I really do appreciate them. I do have one more burning question still sort of left unanswered however. Is there any particular part of the OT/Hebrew Bible that foretells Christ's second coming? I know of Isaiah 53 and Daniel 9:26, but a mention of anything else I may have forgotten or have looked over would be very kind!
Camden Campbell
What of Isaiah 53?
Dominic Ramirez
Oh yes, that was my mistake. I do recognize Isaiah 53 but wasn't thinking about it during the time of writing the OP. I was more thinking about the other prophecies in Isaiah. Please excuse that blunder, I apologize.
Noah Collins
The weapons being made into plowshares and resurrection of the dead are eschatological, related to the millennial reign that hasn't come yet and the end times
Aiden Sanders
"Joy to the world" is about the second coming and is based on psalm 98
Xavier Rogers
The prophecies of the Old Testament describe two contradictory roles for the Messiah–one as a suffering servant, the other as a righteous and conquering king–which you can read about in closer detail here:

Interesting is the observation that for the Messiah to first appear as a king, it would entail the imposition of a rule totally foreign to nearly all the human wills of the world, with no change of heart likely for any of them, hence why the idea of the same Messiah appearing on two separate occasions and for two different undertakings makes the most sense as a resolution to the inconsistency we see in the prophecies. The Messiah comes first to call everyone to repentance as an invitation to the Kingdom, but when He comes again it will be to judge: "When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left."
Lucas Flores
Some Jews always knew this too. They even proposed a Messiah ben Yosef (Jacob's son and the pattern for the Suffering Servant) and a seperate Messiah ben David (the warrior king). Some thought ben Yosef would be killed and then ben David would appear and take revenge on his enemies.

It did happen in a way.. except they were one and the same. And like Joseph, Jesus became a light to the Gentiles and saved them from spiritual famine. And he did take revenge on his enemies. It just happened to be the very people Jewish leaders didn't think about: Themselves. Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed and the Church eventually conquered the Roman empire. And it still moves on.
Matthew Gutierrez
And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.
Zechariah 12:10 ESV
John referenced this in his gospel in 19:37.
Zechariah chapters 12-14 are all about the Day of the Lord.
