Greek and Roman Lies
🔍 Origin of the “Second Coming” Lie
The Greek Septuagint (~250 BC) contains no prophecy of Yeshua’s second coming, aligning with the Hebrew Bible’s focus on YHWH’s return. The second coming and rapture doctrines come from:
- ❌ Not Moses, Prophets, or Yeshua: No Hebrew verse supports a second coming.
- ✅ Catholic New Testament: Writers like Paul (1 Thessalonians 4:17: “Caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord”) laid the groundwork for a second coming, later developed into rapture theology in the 1800s by John Nelson Darby.
- ✅ Roman Influence: Post-325 AD, councils like Nicaea blended Greek philosophy with scripture, promoting second coming ideas.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 (Catholic NT, Vulgate):
“deinde nos qui vivimus qui relinquimur simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera”
(English: “Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air”)
The rapture doctrine, formalized in the 1800s, reflects Greek dualism, not the Hebrew Bible’s earthly restoration.
⚠️ Hellenistic Distortions
The Greek Septuagint and Roman councils corrupted Hebrew truth:
- Replaced YHWH with *Kyrios* (Lord), a Greek term used for Zeus.
- Turned Sheol (grave) into Hades, introducing Greek underworld myths.
- Promoted heavenly resurrection (e.g., Daniel 12:2 in LXX) over earthly restoration.
Jewish-Christian groups like the Ebionites rejected the Septuagint, Paul, and heavenly afterlife doctrines, holding to Hebrew Scriptures and YHWH’s earthly kingdom.
