Basis of the second coming: Coffee with Jesus Podcast

Join us in this thought-provoking episode of "Coffee with Jesus" as Bill & Brian delve into the profound topic of the Second Coming of the Messiah. We explore the critical condition that must be fulfilled before the Messiah can return to establish His messianic kingdom. What exactly happened at the time of the rejection of Yeshua's messianic claims?

We dive into Matthew chapter 12, examining the purpose of Jesus' miracles between chapters 4 and 12. These miracles served as signs for Israel, urging them to make a decision about His messianic identity. Notably, there was a type of demon the Pharisees could never cast out—a mute demon. The Messiah, however, was expected to cast out all demons, including this one. Then, we see Jesus performed this in front of the crowd.

In verse 23, the Jewish masses pose a critical question: Could Jesus be the Son of David? This question places the Pharisees in a difficult position. They have two options: acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah, which threatens their authority, or reject Him and explain away His miracles.

Throughout history, Jewish people have followed their leaders' spiritual guidance. In biblical times, the actions of kings influenced the people's faithfulness. In the first century, the Pharisees held significant sway over the Jewish masses, leading them to seek answers from their spiritual leaders.

To understand this, we must define the unpardonable sin within its context: the national rejection of Yeshua's messianic claims while He was physically present on Earth, based on the accusation of being demonized. This national sin, deemed unpardonable, brought about a specific and severe judgment.

In conclusion, this episode of "Coffee with Jesus" has taken an in-depth look at the pivotal events surrounding the rejection of Yeshua as the Messiah, as outlined in Matthew 12. We explored the significance of Jesus' miracles and how they were meant to authenticate His messianic claims to the Jewish masses. The Pharisees' response, attributing His miraculous works to Beelzebub, led to a critical turning point marked by the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, an unpardonable sin. This national sin, rooted in the rejection of the Messiah, ultimately brought about the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. Understanding these events provides profound insights into biblical history and the conditions necessary for the Second Coming and the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom. As we reflect on these spiritual truths, we recognize the enduring influence of religious leaders and the importance of discerning spiritual authority in our lives.

Tune in as we unravel the complexities of this pivotal moment in biblical history and its implications for the Second Coming of the Messiah. Don't miss this enlightening discussion on the messianic claims of Yeshua and the challenges faced by the Pharisees.
