The Second Coming Is Real, Isn't It?

In matthew and in luke, many people think they are just making mark a bit more clear here. That is a crass, modern, literalistic misinterpretation. And the significance of it is that a god in jesus is starting a true temple movement. When you look back from the gospel stories of jesus, you see that actually the temple in jerusalem was always intended as an advance signpost of a coming reality. The church is constituted on the belief, which is dangerous and scary, that this is where heaven and earth coming together.
