Just the thing you said about more spiritual than physical, Swedenborg writes that the second coming has already happened in the form of the revelation revealed through him. Sounds a little crazy, yes, but a lot of things sound crazy at first. Anyway, if you're at all interested you can send me a PM with any questions or just look him up. No pressure.

Ah. I don't believe that but in the individual person. Each person will have more of a spiritual awakening than it being physical.

I have always thought that there is a possibility that the second coming could be about meeting Christ when we die. It's just a thought. To answer the question, I'm not sure about the second coming; that is, if it is an obligatory belief.

It is stated quite emphatically in the Bible. That's enough for most people. I have always taken for granted that it will happen, because I believe in the words of Christ.

There is a great possibility that we will all be dead, before it happens. (Sorry to bring down the mood of the proceedings!) I don't fancy being around to see it, though.

Well, I think you're wrong. Not that that matters. I don't think people can be spiritually awakened without some kind of external stimulation.

To the me the Second Coming, is the occurrence in which humanity has Christ consciously present within everyone... essentially the spiritual evolution of man.

I agree Godfather. As Christians we have chosen the powerful image of Jesus Christ to represent the expression of this tangential point. He embodies the cosmic mind as seen through the universal man. It is not that the material world will one day dissolve into Jesus Christ, but that the ego's extroverted tendencies will disappear in order that the second coming of Christ might be perceived in consciousness.
