The Second Coming

Is it possible that maybe the 2nd coming of Jesus is Symbolic and not so literal. Is it possible that perhaps, just PERHAPS we can look into the symbolism of the 2nd coming and see that it is all about ones consciousness. I ask you to open up your mind and allow me to paint a picture based on these passages.

For one God is in us. He made us in his image and there fore we have some godliness in us that we can tap into at any time. He is not so much this great invisible external force but yet this resonating energy inside of us that connects to the very universe and its inhabitants.

The Devil is not some horned, goat cloven hoofed menace, but instead the very essence of our potential humanity gone a rye. He is Impatience, haughtiness, arrogance, envy/jealousy, hatred, fear, anger all unchecked and manifested to the third degree. We are all capable of these things to some degree. His existence is not some coincidence but a polar opposite (as the universe has in many aspects) of what God is. You cant have good without bad, left with out right, dark with out light. There must be a balance to every force.

Trumpets are sounded through out the heavens....

Trumpets have always been used not just as instruments for the melody of beautiful music but to also raise consciousness, awareness and to more importantly warn or draw attention too. It has served as an alarm for waking up troops back in the day as well as to alarm them that war is coming or draw their attention to an approaching army.

So maybe the Heavens is symbolic of this plane of existence/enlightenment/spirituality.... and we all tend to look up to the heavens for meditation or guidance. Whether or not we are atheist or religious, we can see the vastness of the sky, the endless possibilities. Hence the term Sky is the limit.

So the Trumpet sounding is bringing our attention to things about to happen or things that are unfolding before us. In this case in regards to enlightenment/ spirituality.

The few far and in between spoken of as who will rise into heaven.... Even in Revelations which states 'the road leading to everlasting life is short and narrow, but the road leading to destruction is broad and spacious.'

So FEW will attain this level of enlightenment and consciousness. Few will rise above their fellow man and really get the purpose of it all.

There is talk of Nations Rising against nations, people against people, hatred for those who do get admitted into the Kingdom (place of consciousness). People who think outside the man made box. Jesus words of 'The world will hate you for being no part of them, just as I am no part of them.' Or when he said 'to Follow me is to shoulder your own cross/stake' and carry your own burden to persecution. People will not accept through their ears what they cannot accept through their heart.

Don't we see this today people hating others for allowing themselves to be happy? People hating and envying those that have or attain what they themselves do not?

Which brings me to Jesus.... Forget for a moment the Jesus you hear about, or think you know. Forget Jesus the God and or Jesus the man.... Lets instead look at his actions throughout his ministry. Jesus was about LOVE, INCLUSION, and ACCEPTANCE. He dined and ministered to those shunned by almost all of the world or with in the community. Everyone from tax collectors, whores, lepers, Pharisees/sagucees, poor, fisherman, different races considered taboo by his own religion and or cultural laws (Samaritans), and even women and children.

He accepted we are all Gods Creation, he admitted through many of his prayers how God loves his creation even before it is made or comes into existence. He exemplified sacrifice, moderation, humility, love, patience and more importantly humanity. He was tested with hunger, fatigue, and the very devil himself even tried to tempt the very "son of God". He went through everything we ever have to go to and maybe more, and yet still prayed for those who wished him harm or whose intentions were ill.

What if Jesus was about realizing our connectivity? Realizing we are all Gods Creatures, all created by the big supreme universal source? No one above the other, our actions effecting one another? So respect and love is key in recognizing you may not understand the next person or the thing you coincide with, but you have to love each other for the simple fact that you came from the same creator/source?

What if the second coming of Jesus is this recognition? This very line of thinking that dictates how we live life and how we treat everyone and everything around us? When we realize "WOW we are connected, I can't litter the very earth I live on and not take into account that an animal, a person, a plant that shares this very planet with me isn't effected by that."

What if we accept our brothers and sisters who practice other faiths and who adhere to the beliefs of their culture and although our lack of insight into their ways, or ignorance of their practices and traditions we still can love them? We still can be ok with what they do no matter how foreign to us? What if we extended our hand to them in an embrace or even just to help them when they stumble? What if we acted like Jesus?

Wasn't Jesus words "The GREATEST COMMANDMENT is to love thy neighbor as thyself?" What if we actually did that? Wouldn't that allow the God, the Jesus to rise up in us? To in essence come through us?

This is more easier for me to see than an actual Huge airplane sized trumpet appearing out of nowhere and people floating to this place above the clouds, where they leave behind all of the others who didn't believe as them....

My God believes in variety hence why no one flower even of the same kind is the same color or sometimes even the same shape. Why people are of different hews, and birds of different colors who like different food sources. No one is supposed to be the SAME!

So I guess I encourage those who believe in Jesus to allow his actions and ways to work through you. Love the man and woman you walk by or share this world with, no matter if you understand them or not. Embrace them offer them help, love, prayers with out reservation, judgement, or hesitation. Follow in the footsteps left ahead of you.
