I. How to Distinguish the True Messiah of the “Second Coming”
from Those Self-Proclaimed False Messiahs
and False Prophets
Over the past several months, natural disasters have struck with unusual frequency around the
world, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, major floods and landslides. At the same time, military conflicts have intensified in the Middle East and in the war between Russia and Ukraine. As
the war in Iran has spread toward Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and as Russia has issued nuclear threats against NATO nations, these
military conflicts could lead to the catastrophic "Armageddon"
prophesied in the Book of Revelation (16:16).
These disasters and wars correspond to
Jesus’ warning concerning the period before the "Second Coming"
stated in the Gospel of Matthew: "You will hear of wars and rumors of
wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the
end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are
the beginning of birth pains." (Matthew 24:6-8)
However, these disasters and conflicts
are only part of the warning of Jesus Christ on the signs of the End Times. There is another major warning
concerning the sign of Christ's return: the coming of false messiahs
before the "Second Coming" of the true Messiah for the New
Millennium.
Jesus warned His disciples
repeatedly in Matthew 24: "For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive
many." (Matthew 24:5) “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other,
and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people." (Matthew 24:9-11)
This warning prophesied the
persecution of Christians at the End Times, which has been fulfilled in
recent years as Christians have been persecuted and discriminated all across the
world, even in the traditional Christian nations of Europe and America.
Together with the many false messiahs who come to deceive people, these are
the two major tactics that the Antichrist uses to destroy Christianity—Persecution and Deception.
Therefore, Jesus gave the final
warning about false messiahs and false prophets before the coming of the
true Messiah: "At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect... So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of
Man." (Matthew 24:23-27)
This is the warning of false messiahs
coming in the traditional ways—either outside in the wilderness or inside
in the room—to make false claims and deceive people. The true Messiah will
come "as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the
west." He will come out in a non-traditional way that is visible to
the world at the same time—through the internet—and he will be the Son
of Man who "comes from the east (and) is
visible even in the west" (Matthew 24:27). This also confirms the
prophecies in Revelation 12 that the “Second Child” in the Bible would
be born under the reign of the “Red Dragon” and later come to the land
of the “Great Eagle” after he grew up.
After the warning of false messiah,
Jesus also revealed the celestial signs of the “Second Coming” in the
sky: "Immediately after the distress of those days,
‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be
shaken.’ Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven."
(Matthew 24:29-30) These celestial signs of the sun being darkened, the moon
not giving its light, and the stars falling from the sky were
fulfilled on the same day - August 12, 2026. Please watch the previous video
"The Astrological and Celestial Signs of the Second Coming in
July-August 2026."
Now that the long-anticipated
historic moment of the "Second Coming" of Christ the Messiah has arrived,
it is critical for Christians and all people of God to know how to
distinguish the true Messiah from all those self-proclaimed false messiahs, so
that people will not be deceived by the false messiahs and false prophets,
nor miss the opportunity to learn the New Revelation of the true Messiah for the New Millennium,
as those Jews who missed the Messiah for them—Jesus Christ—two thousand
years ago.
This time, the New Revelation of the
true
Messiah for the New Millennium is the "Eternal Gospel" for "every
nation, tribe, language and people" prophesied in the Bible
(Revelation 14:6) almost two thousand years ago. Just as Jesus brought the
"Salvation Gospel" as the New Testament of God in His "First
Coming" two thousand years ago, the Messiah of the "Second
Coming" will bring forth the "Eternal Gospel" as the New
Millennium Testament of God for the New Millennium of Peace and Wisdom.
1.
Understand the Difference Between Spiritual Metaphor and Physical
Reality
For the past two thousand years, most people have believed
that the “Second Coming” of Christ the Messiah would be a supernatural event
in which Christ descends from the sky with thousands of angels following Him.
This is what Jesus foretold to His disciples on the Mount of Olives when He
spoke about the end times—that people would see “the
Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.”
(Matthew 24:30)
However, this was a metaphor Jesus often used to describe
the things happening in the spiritual realm, just as He once said, “Destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up.” (John 2:19-21). In that case, Jesus was not speaking about
the physical temple in Jerusalem, but using a spiritual metaphor about His own body as a temple to
foretell His death
and resurrection in three days. If people only rely on a strictly literal
interpretation of Jesus’ metaphor without understanding its spiritual meaning, they will miss the point entirely.
In the Book of Revelation, there are many visions depicting
the interaction between heaven and earth through the angels with trumpets and
bowls of God’s judgment. Yet in our physical world, we can only see the historical
events carried out by human leaders on earth, not the seven angels blowing seven
trumpets in Revelation 8-9 nor the seven angels pouring the seven bowls of God’s
wrath in Revelation 15-16. Those angels carrying out their missions of God are visible
only in the spiritual realm, not in our physical world. The same
principle applies to the “Second Coming” of Christ the Messiah and His
armies of heavenly hosts.
Therefore, in our physical world, people will not see any
supernatural phenomenon of Christ descending from the sky with thousands of
angels following Him, as these events occur only in the spiritual realm, which
is invisible to in the physical world. In our physical world, the Messiah of the “Second Coming”
and all His angels have already manifested as ordinary people on earth—just as
Jesus and John the Baptist appeared as normal people during their “First
Coming” two thousand years ago. He will come as a humble man knocking on the
door, as prophesied in the letter to the church in Laodicea in the Book of
Revelation: "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with
me" (Revelation 3:20).
2. Fulfill the Prophecies of the "Second Coming" in the
Book of Revelation
In recent decades, many false prophets and false Christs have
claimed to be the “Second Coming” of Jesus Christ. They thought they could
make any extravagant claims they wished without meeting any divine qualification
or prophetic requirements. They simply did not understand the specific prophetic
qualifications that the true Christ or Messiah of the “Second Coming” must
fulfill.
In fact, God has already revealed in the Bible the key
criterion for distinguishing the true Messiah of the "Second Coming"
from all those false self-claimants. It is not the supernatural spectacle of
Christ descending from the sky with thousands of angels, but rather the
prophecies of the
"Second Coming" in the Book of Revelation.
There are many prophecies concerning the “Second Coming”
in the New Testament of the Bible, but the Book of Revelation constitutes the
complete and final version of all biblical prophecies. This is affirmed in its
closing verses of the Book of Revelation: “I warn everyone who hears the
words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will
add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes
words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any
share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this
scroll." (Revelation 22:18-19)
Only the visions in the Book of Revelation prophesy the actual historic event of the “Second Coming” of Christ the Messiah for the New Millennium in our physical world. The real “Second Coming” on earth began with the birth of the “Man Child” under the reign of the “Red Dragon” in Revelation 12.
There are "two children"
prophesied in the Bible to be born as the "Messiah". The "First
Child" was prophesied in the Bible's Old Testament (Isaiah 9:6),
who is Jesus Christ in the New Testament of
the Bible. The “Second
Child” in the Bible is this “Man Child” prophesied in the
New Testament (Revelation 12:5). He would be born under the reign of the "Red
Dragon" and come to the land of the "Great
Eagle" (Revelation 12:14) after he grew up.
Then, this "Second Child" in
the Bible will be spiritually awakened in the State of "Zion"
("Mount Zion") with the New Revelation of the "Eternal
Gospel" prophesied in Chapter 14 of the Book of Revelation. Eventually, he
will come out as the “Rider on a
White Horse” in Revelation 19:11-21 with the same "Rod of
Iron/Iron Scepter to rule all the nations." (Revelation 12:5 and 19:15) This “Second
Child” prophesied in the Bible (Revelation 12:5) is the Messiah of the “Second
Coming” for the New Millennium Kingdom as prophesied in the Book of Revelation
(19:11-20:6).
Many people in the past thought this prophecy of the birth of
the “Man Child” born under the reign of the “Red Dragon” referred to the
birth of Jesus Christ two thousand years ago. However, they overlooked the fact
that biblical prophecy always foretells future events, not things that have
already occurred. When John was lifted up to heaven from the island of Patmos, a
voice clearly told him, “Come up here, and I will show you what must
take place after this." (Revelation 4:1)
Therefore, all the visions on the scroll in the Book of
Revelation concern future events after the first century, not events that had
already taken place. This “Second Child” prophesied in the Bible (Revelation
12:5) is the Messiah of the “Second Coming” for the New Millennium, not the
Baby Jesus of the “First Coming” two thousand years ago.
In fact, God
specifically prophesied the Five Stages of the “Second Coming” of this “Second
Child” in the Book of the Revelation.
-
The First Stage of the “Second Coming”
- The Birth of the “Male Child” under the Reign of the “Red
Dragon” (Revelation 12:1-5)
-
The Second Stage of the “Second Coming”
- The Spiritual Awakening of the Son of Man in the “State of Zion”
(Revelation 14:1-5)
-
The Third Stage of the “Second Coming”
- The New Revelation of the “Eternal Gospel” for every nation
(Revelation 14: 6-12)
-
The Fourth Stage of the “Second Coming”
- The Prelude and Warning of the Messiah before the Catastrophe of “Armageddon”
(Revelation 16: 15-16)
-
The Fifth Stage of the “Second Coming”
- The Grand Finale of the “Second Coming” of the Messiah
(Revelation 19:11-21) for the New Millennium of Peace & Wisdom
(Revelation 20:1-6)
More detailed information about these “Five Stages of the
Second Coming” prophesied in the Book of Revelation is available online at www.PeaceMessiah.org.
For the past two thousand years, no one fully understood the
true meaning of these visions. Only the “Second Child” prophesied in the
Bible knows how these prophecies are to be fulfilled by himself. Those boastful
self-claimants are a dime a dozen, but these false prophets and
false messiahs had no clue what these visions really mean, let alone the ability
to fulfill these prophecies. If anyone claims to be the Messiah of the “Second
Coming” yet has no knowledge how these Five Stages of the “Second Coming” prophesied in the Book of
Revelation were fulfilled, then that person is a
false prophet or false messiah. This is the first key to distinguishing the true
Messiah of the “Second Coming” from all false prophets and false messiahs.
3. The Authority to Unseal the Mystery of the Visions in the
Book of Revelation
In Chapter 5 of the Book of Revelation, when the Lord who sat
on the throne handed out a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with
seven seals, a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to
break the seals and open the scroll?” But “no
one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look
inside it.” Only Christ the Lamb is
worthy to break the seals and open the scroll. (Revelation 5:1-14)
However, since the Book of Revelation was revealed around 90
AD, no one has been able to decode the real meaning of these visions on the
scroll in the Book of Revelation, because, in the same way, only Christ the
Messiah of the “Second Coming” is worthy to unseal the mystery of those
visions on the scroll in the Book of Revelation. That is why no one in the past
two thousand years could decode these visions in the Book of Revelation.
For the past several decades, many false prophets and false
messiahs have appeared, exactly as Jesus forewarned in His Olivet
Discourse two thousand years ago. Even some people of faith were deceived.
However, none of these false prophets or false messiahs have any understanding of
what the visions in the Book of Revelation truly mean, let alone the ability to
fulfill the prophecies of the “Five Stages of the Second Coming” in the Book
of Revelation.
Now, as this “Second Child” prophesied in the Bible has
come with the “Authority of the Messiah” (Revelation 12:10), the 2,000-year mystery of the visions on the scroll in
the Book of Revelation has finally been decoded. Those visions on the scroll
from Chapter 6 to 19 of the Book of Revelation are not about the disasters of
tribulation at the End Times, as most people have been misinformed in the past
two thousand years.
Instead, these visions on the scroll
prophesied the major historical events in the Christian
history from the early centuries all the way to the New Millennium—just as the visions of Four Beasts and
of the Ram and the Goat in the Book of Daniel prophesied the major
historical events of the rise of four kingdoms from the 600s BC to the 400s AD.
These historical fulfillments also confirm the voice from heaven at the beginning of
Chapter 4 of the Book of Revelation: “Come up here, and I will show you
what must take place after this." (Revelation 4:1)
For the past two thousand years, no one
has known what these visions in the Book of Revelation really mean. Only the
“Second Child” prophesied in the Bible knows how these visions on the scroll have been
fulfilled, for he himself is an integral part of the prophecies in the Book of
Revelation. No one knows the prophecies in the Book of
Revelation better than the ONE who was prophesied in the Book of Revelation.
Therefore, the Book of Revelation—the final version of all
the prophecies in the Bible that no one may add to or delete from—is the
second key to
distinguishing the true Messiah of the “Second Coming” from false prophets
and false messiahs. The true Christ the Messiah of the
“Second Coming” not only needs to fulfill the prophecies of the "Five Stages
of the Second Coming” as prophesied in the Book of Revelation, but also needs
to possess the “Authority of the Messiah” to decode the 2,000-year
mystery of the visions on the scroll in the Book of Revelation.
4. The
Spiritual Rapture of the "Second Coming" for the New Millennium
In the past two thousand years, many
people have thought the vision of the "Man Child" being "snatched
up to God and to his throne" in Revelation 12:5 referred to the
"Rapture" of
the people of God before the tribulation on the earth. That is a
misunderstanding of the vision in Revelation 12.
When the "Second Child" was
born under the reign of the "Red Dragon," Satan, in the form of the
"Red Dragon," tried to devour the "Second Child," just as
King Herod tried to kill the infant Jesus after He was born in Bethlehem two
thousand years ago. To protect the "Second Child" from being devoured
by the "Red Dragon," God snatched the "Second Child" to His
throne so that the "Red Dragon" could not find him and devour
him.
However, this "snatching to the
throne of God" was not a physical lift of the "Second Child" out
of this world into heaven, but a spiritual lift of the spirit of the
"Second Child" into heaven while his physical body remained on the
earth to grow up like an ordinary child. This is the same kind of spiritual
lifting as John's spirit was lifted into heaven, "immediately I was in
the spirit" (Revelation 4:2), while his physical body remained on the island of Patmos. That is why
only the "Second Child" in the Bible understands the spiritual lift,
or rapture, depicted in the vision of the Book of Revelation.
For the past two thousand years, most
people have misunderstood the spiritual event of the rapture in Revelation 12.
Now that the "Second Child" in the Bible has come as the Messiah of
the "Second Coming" for the New Millennium, the mystery of the
"Rapture" will be unveiled and the truth of the spiritual rapture will
be revealed. Those who learn the truth and accept the New Revelation of the
"Eternal Gospel" for the New Millennium will be spiritually lifted to
"reign with Christ a thousand years" (Revelation 20:6).
This is the real meaning of the
spiritual rapture of the "Second Coming" for the New Millennium of
Peace and Wisdom. Only the "Second Child" prophesied in the Bible, who
has been "snatched to the throne of God" (Revelation 12:5), knows how
the spiritual rapture worked as prophesied in the Book of Revelation. That is
another key to distinguishing the true Messiah from false messiahs and false
prophets.
Now, many false prophets and false
messiahs have come and made some boastful claims, as Jesus foretold two thousand
years ago. These four key criteria will help people to distinguish the True
Messiah from all those false self-claimants.
