Second Coming of Christ

“The Second Coming” William Butler Yeats’ prediction of an apocalyptic society at our time is highly possible. There are countries collapsing, and several major wars, like the war against terror.

The author, William Butler Yeats, portrays the title, “The Second Coming,” as an apocalyptic event that will end society.

Second Coming of Christ Immediately following Jesus’ last words to His Disciples “he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight” (Acts 1: 9), and the two men [angels] standing by, said: “men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts 1: 11) Perhaps there is no religious subject more popular than the second coming of our Lord; nonetheless, not all that

Amillennialists generally assume that all millennium prophecies are fulfilled in between the first and the second coming of Christ (Gregg 459).

“The Second Coming” by W. B. Yeats, was written in 1919 following World War I and was to present the idea that he thought that the apocalypse as presented in the Book of Revelation from the Bible was about to begin.

The Bible is very clear that the rapture is coming, and that Christ will return for his bridegroom. However, the Bible is less clear on when the church will be raptured in relation to the tribulation period. There are a couple different thoughts on when the rapture will happen, two of the most common are pretribulation

of my research paper will focus on the second coming of Jesus and will it happen during our lifetime. Does biblical prophecy predict the second coming of Jesus? Are we living in the end times?

Beowulf and the Second Shepherds Play are immensely different. Although, Beowulf and the Second Shepherds Play have different story lines, different plots, and even different time periods, they both seem to have a vital similarity in the relation of their Christian views. In the play Beowulf there are many elements of religious philosophies. For example, Beowulf survives from the protection of God; Grendel is a descendant of Cain, and the comparison of the great flood. In the Second Shepherds Play

The Nordic Christ was an image of Jesus molded by the effects of Imperialism and disdain for the growing number of foreign identities in the United States, where as Wovoka was a man among the Native Americans who claimed to have been shown the coming of Christ in visions, which would happen if the Native Americans follow certain rules. The Nordic Christ was also used as a platform to instigate
