"Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."Are there going to be nations after the Second Coming? Seems like this says either that there will be, or that all people will learn to be peaceful followers of Christ and that the second coming is an internal, spiritual event for all people. Bubbaguy
or that all people will learn to be peaceful followers of Christ and that the second coming is an internal, spiritual event for all people. Acts 1:9 ¶ Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. Acts 1:10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, Acts 1:11 who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” NKJV ie external and physical, or don't you believe Luke either?
After Christ sets up His kingdom, He will rule all. There will be no reason to have a military, because the wicked will have been dealt with. I think this is supported by Daniel's account of the rock cut without human hands smiting the image on the feet.
Most definitly external and physical.
The first coming of Christ Jesus to the earth, veiled in flesh, was an externally visible reality and so will His second coming be. The internal, spiritual event for allwho believe in the work of His earthly ministry, death and resurrection, brings Him back in 3D only as much as we allow Him to use our lives in His service. This is a very imperfect way of expressing the way it works; this would be the only basis of any possible world peace. We know there will also be more bloodshed before the end (whenever that happens to be) as not everyone wants (or would want) 'world peace'.
