42 Who Destroyed the Wicked? Part 2 - a podcast by Warren Kay and Ian Hartley

In this episode we look at Jesus role in the destruction of sinners at the Second Coming and the end of time. 

The role of Jesus Christ in the destruction of sinners at the Second Coming.

1.  His presence did not destroy sinners before or after His resurrection and the angels promised that this same Jesus would return in the same way (Acts 1:11).

There were angels in attendance when He ascended to heaven and this is the meaning of the Acloud@ that received Him (Matthew 24:30-31; 25:31; 26:64; Luke 9:26; Daniel 7:13; Revelation 1:7; 19:14).

2.  At the end of the Millennium Jesus= presence does not destroy the wicked who surround the city.

Revelation indicates it is a Afire@ which does the destroying (20:9-10, 14-15). If it was the presence of Jesus at the Second Coming, then it would also occur as soon as the wicked are raised at the end of the millennium for King Jesus is present on the planet too.

3.  The Second Coming occurs during the sixth plague or the battle of Armageddon

Rev 16:16-21

4.  Jesus is the Saviour not the destroyer of the world.

1 Tim 2:4; John 10:10; Revelation 7; Jer 49:36; Ezek 37:9; Dan 7:2; 8:8; 11:4; Zech 2:6; Mat 24:31; Mark 13:27; Rev 7:1; Isaiah 57:20-21:John 3:16; 1 John 1:5.

5.  Sinners cry out for death when Jesus comes. Rev 6:15-16.

6.  The wages of sin is death (Rom 6:23).

7. Killing sinners is only necessary if they have immortality 1Tim 6:16; Matthew 10:28; Matthew 11:29; John 8:44-45; 10:10; Matthew 10:25; Mt 12:24-32

8.  Killing sinners would be an acknowledgment of defeat by God.

(Lev 19:18,34; Deut 4:37; 7:7,8,13; 10:15; 23:5; 33:3; 2Sam 12:24; 1Kings 10:9; 2Chron 9:8; Ps 78:68; Isa 43:4; 63:9; Jer 31:3; Ezekiel 16:60-63; Hosea 3:1; 11:1,4; 14:4; Zeph 3:17; Mal 1:2; Mark 10:21; Lk 6:35; John 3:16; 11:5,36; 13:1,23,34; 14:21,23; 15:9,12-13; 16:27; 17:23,26; Rom 5:5,8; 8:35-39; 2Cor 5:14; 13:11,14; Gal 2:20; 5:22; Eph 2:4; 3:18,19; 5:2,25; 6:23; 2Thess 2:16; 3:5; 1Tim 1:14; Tit 3:4; 1John 3:1,16; 4:7-12,16,19; Jude 21; Rev 1:5; 3:9,19). Clearly, from these passages, God loves all people.

9.  Burning is one of the cruellest methods of execution. Ex 33:19; 34:6.

10.  Will God burn some longer than others?
