Jesus has already come in his Second Coming as the ascended master. He is with us. He is teaching us. That is not to say that some will not experience him and see him coming in clouds of glory on a certain day. But we have to understand that revelation becomes very personal, and it comes to each one individually. | Jesus has already come in his Second Coming as the ascended master. He is with us.

The true Second Coming may come at any time. It is not a one-time event of the centuries, but an hourly event. It came for [[John the Beloved]] prior to his ascension in his embodiment as the apostle who wrote the Book of Revelation. It may have come to some of us when we walked and talked with Jesus. It may come to us two thousand years later. | The true Second Coming may come at any time. It is not a one-time event of the centuries, but an hourly event.

The Second Coming of Christ may very well come with clouds and great glory and the sound of trumpets and Jesus appearing in the heavens. That may be happening every day, but the world may not perceive it. Jesus is here with us now and always with us. And when we receive him in that Second Coming and the Word is internalized where we are, that is truly the Second Coming of Christ. | The Second Coming of Christ may very well come with clouds and great glory and the sound of trumpets and Jesus appearing in the heavens.

The Bible prophesies the coming of the Everlasting Gospel in the Book of Revelation. There flies in the midst of heaven an angel that has the Everlasting Gospel to preach to the men of earth.<ref>Rev. 14:6.</ref> This event is thought to precede the Second Coming. | |||
We believe that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ has taken place, that he has descended in clouds of glory, that this ascended master has descended to earth, has delivered his message of the Everlasting Gospel, is continuing to do so. And the prophecy that every eye shall see him applies to every eye that is in that vibration and wavelength where he is caught up by the Spirit of his resurrection to the plane of perception. This does not occur simultaneously. It occurs not according to time and space, but according to the individual soul’s capacity to receive him. | We understand that this Everlasting Gospel is here now. It is a thoughtform and a matrix of the mind of God like a swaddling garment, like a sphere of yellow fire that surrounds the earth. It imparts to all people the sense of the universality of [[religion]], the oneness of all religion and the universality of the Christ. People are very much aware that this Christ who was in Jesus is a Universal Presence who is also with them—that Presence prophesied in Jeremiah as the coming of The Lord Our Righteousness.<ref>Jer. 23:6.</ref> | ||
We believe that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ ''has'' taken place, that he ''has'' descended in clouds of glory, that this ascended master has descended to earth, has delivered his message of the Everlasting Gospel, is continuing to do so. And the prophecy that every eye shall see him applies to every eye that is in that vibration and wavelength where he is caught up by the Spirit of his resurrection to the plane of perception. This does not occur simultaneously. It occurs not according to time and space, but according to the individual soul’s capacity to receive him. | |||
