The Second Coming of Jesus

Can these messages represent the long awaited Second Coming of Jesus? Yes, that is what Jesus said in 1915. But the reader should also bear in mind, that Jesus has been working with mankind continuously for 2000 years. And he is still with us helping us to find Truth. James Padgett has in 2006 clarified that the delivery of these messages from 1914 on was the start of the “Second Coming” which is ongoing to this day. Now interestingly the Jehovah Witnesses prophesied this date of 1914.¹ But sadly because nothing was published till 1941, they had abandoned that idea by that date.

If these messages are read closely, one discovers that Jesus has told us he will never return “in the flesh”, but it is necessary to know what he means by that. The vast majority of people have no idea that Jesus’ time in the flesh ended on the cross, and that his being seen subsequently was not a flesh body, even though it fooled Thomas. It was what is called a materialised spirit body. That has been explained by the Apostle Luke.

This Second Coming is not some trivial list of communications. It was over 2,500 individual messages, and the best of these were published in four volumes all being over 300 pages. It is a fully developed alternate theology based on the New Testament. Added to that we now have thousands of post 1923 communications and not once has anything been “reverted” although deeper explanations have occurred as later mediums have been able to maintain closer rapport with Jesus.
