  Tibetan Foundation - Second Coming vs Incarnation
Then, 500 years later another one comes and these are all preparations for the first 3 initiations, for just establishing a teaching group, a group for the second coming, for the energy of Maitreya the Christ to come forth, and begin teaching where there would be a response.
And then Tsong Khapa comes and he says, "I can't identify with anything that is being taught in Tibetan Buddhism, it's all so separate and it's all so not quite right.
The second one was discernment through discrimination, and the third one was the relationship of the reforming of discernment and discrimination through Atisha.

  Second Coming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Second Coming or Second Advent refers to the Christian belief in the return of Jesus Christ to fulfill the rest of the Messianic prophecy, such as the Resurrection of the dead, Last judgement and establishment of the Kingdom of God.
The Second Coming is an important component of Christian eschatology, the theology concerning the final events and ultimate purposes of the world.
The interpretation of the Second Coming is important in the doctrine of Jehovah's Witnesses, as these hold that it occurred in 1914, and instead of an apocalyptic Second Coming it is to be interpreted as an unseen presence, and the visible events of the final times will occur at a later date.

 Amazon.com: Second Coming: Music: The Stone Roses   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
They disbanded shortly after "Second Coming" was given a disappointing reception, and after a nasty lawsuit from their record company.
It doesn't deserve to be---"Second Coming" is an outstanding album that I, personally, like even *better* than the band's celebrated 1989 debut, though brilliant that album is. I guess this makes me a "twisted" Stone Roses fan, but seriously, people, I LOVE this album.
For "Second Coming," the Stone Roses branched out into rock music even more experimental than on their debut disc, combining even more abundant elements of pop, psychedelia, dance, acoustic, progressive, and Zeppelin-esque hard rock.

 The Second Coming
In the farewell discourse Jesus does speak of his coming back, but there is no talk of the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven as in the Synoptic Gospels.
In subsequent centuries the church realized that the Second Coming was not going to be as imminent as first-century Christians thought and developed its theology and practice in ways that made provision for future generations of people.
Take, for example, the phrase "the coming of the Lord," particularly the word "coming." The Greek word for it is parousia, which was used in Greek culture to refer to the arrival of a king or some other dignitary into a city.

 [minstrels] The Second Coming -- William Butler Yeats
Yeats' prophetic tone in his poem “The Second Coming” rings truer to the cycle of history, between Paganism and Christianity, by the return of Paganism instead of the coming of Christ as seen in his natural and religious imagery.
But Yeats, since he has already established the true nature of this second coming, now returns to this prophecy, pointing out that it had been partially right, that the figure of the coming would not be born humbly.
It talks about the second coming of what many believe would be Christ, however in the end it say "And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" This is clearly speaking of the Antichrist that is to claim that he is the true messaiah.

 Scripture Catholic - THE SECOND COMING
This view can be consistent with Scripture and Catholic teaching to the extent it holds that the rapture and Christ’s Second Coming occur together, after the tribulation and the Church Militant on earth.
The problem with this view is that it requires three comings of Christ — first, when He was born in Bethlehem; second, when He returns for the rapture before the tribulation; third, when He returns at the end of the tribulation and establishes the millennium.
The problem with this view is that it also requires three comings of Christ — first, when He was born in Bethlehem; second, when He returns for the rapture during the middle of the tribulation; third, when He returns at the end of the tribulation and establishes the millennium.

 Jesus' Second Coming
The second coming of Jesus is proclaimed throughout the New Testament.
Since the second coming receives such strong emphasis, Christians should study these teachings, especially in light of the promises at the end of the Book of Revelation.
Since many of the prophecies related to the latter-day events and Jesus' second coming are presented in figurative and symbolic language, it is important to establish a sound principle of interpretation before a study of prophecy is begun.

Nevertheless, some of Second Coming is quite good: "Breaking Into Heaven" is appealingly pompous, showing that the Roses at least had a handle on the nature of their own import, and better still, had the ability to pull it off.
SECOND COMING consolidates that sound with a see-sawing mix of hard-rock driving songs--with chunky electric guitar riffs and big beats--and acoustic anthems that immediately sound like they've been on the radio for a dozen years or more.

This, then, is pointing to a certain interval between the resurrection of Christ and his second coming, at which time we will be transformed.
That interval, to many people, is the millennium--an interval, according to this text, between the second coming of Christ and the end, similar to the interval between the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his second coming.

 The Second Coming (poem) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Second Coming" is a poem by William Butler Yeats first printed in The Dial (November 1920) and afterwards included in his 1921 verse collection Michael Robartes and the Dancer.
The Second Coming described in the Biblical Book of Revelation is here anticipated as a gathering dark forces that would fill the population's need for meaning with a ghastly and dangerous sense of purpose.
Though Yeats's description has nothing in common with the typically envisioned Christian concept of the Second Coming of Christ, it fits with his view that something strange and heretofore unthinkable would come to succeed Christianity, just as Christ transformed the world upon his appearance.

 The Parousia: Christ's Second Coming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
For just as lightning comes from the east and is seen as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a mighty roar and the elements will be dissolved by fire, and the earth and everything done on it will be found out.
Rather, as is already clear from what is covered in these notes, the Church does not see the Second Coming of Christ at any other time than at the general judgment of all men and women which is the same as the resurrection of the dead followed by definitive reward or punishment for souls.

 The Divine Mercy and the Second Coming
In the Gospel the Lord shows us that His first coming was in humility, as a Servant, to free the world from sin.
In between these Comings we have the end times or era of the Church, in which the Church ministers reconciliation to the world until the great and terrible Day of the Lord, the Day of Justice.
Every Catholic should be familiar with the teaching of the Church on this matter, contained in paragraphs 668 to 679 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

 "The Second Coming" and "A Vision"
‘The Second Coming’ was written in January 1919, according to what George Yeats told Richard Ellmann (The Identity of Yeats), and first appeared in The Dial and The Nation in November 1920 and then in book form in Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1922).
The image of ‘The Second Coming’ is no heraldic emblem but moves, its pitiless inhumanity reflected from its human head, and the reeling of the desert birds echoes the falcon’s towering at the opening of the poem.
Yeats therefore knows that this coming is of a ‘rough beast’ (another echo of Revelation, see Rev 13), that the beast’s hour has ‘come round at last’, the phrasing indicating the cyclical nature of this hour, and that it slouches towards Bethlehem, but still questions its nature.

 The Second Coming
The spiritual gaze of Christians should be focused upon the approaching joyous event — the Second Coming of Christ on earth: "And when these things [the sorrows of the last days] begin to come to pass then look up and lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near" (Lk 21:28).
The reality of His coming again was witnessed to by the Savior Himself, with the indication of some details, and was proclaimed by the Angels during the Lord's AscensAscension, and often reminders were given by the Apostles (Mt. 16:27; Mt. ch 24; Mk.
From these words we should conclude that the Second Coming of Christ will look substantially different from the first one, during which He willingly humbled Himself and came in the semblance of an ordinary man. Then He lived in poverty and voluntarily suffered all kinds of humiliations.

 The Second Coming of the Lord and the Last Judgment
To try to grasp the when, what and how of this Second Coming and last judgment, we really need to glean the various passages in Sacred Scripture to see how our Church has interpreted them.
Peter predicts, "The day of the Lord will come like a thief and on that day the heavens will vanish with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire and the earth and all its deeds will be made manifest" (2 Pt 3:10).
Our Lord described this judgment as follows: "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, escorted by all the angels of heaven, He will sit upon His royal throne and all the nations will be assembled before Him.
