The second Coming
Historical look on the Millennium
“The Second coming of Christ will probably
happen within a decade, by the year 2009.
Also, the Antichrist is more than likely alive at
this very moment and readying himself for
world domination. Who is he? Nobody yet
knows for sure; however, he will undoubtedly
be a Jew. Biblical prophecy is unfolding exactly
as foretold. Prepare yourself- the apocalypse
is nigh”
Rev. Jerry Falwell at evangelism conference in
Kingsport, Tennessee before 1,500 people on January
14, 1999
What I believe?
• As an Orthodox Christian I cling to the Faith of
the Church spelled out in the Nicene Creed
and in the Church Liturgical prayers and
Church Fathers writings.
• The main teaching on Christ second coming is
shared by the rest of the orthodox churches
and the Catholic Church and mainstream
protestant churches.
The Late Great Planet Earth
Hale Lindsey 1970
• Hale Lindsey (travelled with Campus Crusade for
Christ for 8 years . Later Lindsey launched his own
prophetic ministry.
• In his book he interpreted the bible with the
newspaper as a commentary. He took current
events and poured them into a prefabricated
apocalyptic mold.
• Predicted the second coming to be 1988 (40
years after 1948 of the return of the Jews) based
on the parable of the fig tree- Matt 24:32-34
