Advent - from the Latin word adventus meaning "coming." We discuss this whole season of Advent and especially focus on the 2nd coming of Christ. This is the Christian's blessed hope. Churches have celebrated this event at this time of year. We briefly review three celebrations by God's people: Pentecost, Passover and Tabernacles. Early churches would take their lead from the idea of celebrations. The Old Testament prophets often wrote about both comings - the first and the second, and many times made very little distinction between them. This sometimes makes it hard for us to understand them. We also discuss false prophets, who feel obliged to set dates, such as Harold Camping. This practice is old and is heretical. It places a stumbling block before people and also gives reason for the non-Christian to mock the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
