When I think about the second coming of Jesus Christ as prophesized of in the Bible I always think of all the destruction and negative stuff that is mentioned. Which makes me wonder, are there any positive things that are suppose to happen leading up to the second coming?

In Rev 14, when it talks about the fruit of the earth being reaped, there are two harvests or reapings.. two crops so to speak.. two things which have become fully ripe.. the bad, and the 'good' (fruits). This is the same as the parable Jesus taught, saying wheat would be gathered into barns at his coming and sticks would be gathered into bundles.
- But let me point you to Daniel 12, verses 11 and 12 (as they cross-reference with Daniel 9:27-but only in some translations! nas,amp) - The world makes a "covenant"/"league" of peace for seven years, round about the middle of the seven years, the 'world peace' is broken with Israel and her "daily sacrifice" or place of daily prayers, is "removed"/"carried away" and done away with. Three and a half (hebrew) years after we see this happen on the news, the 666 apparatus will be "set-up" and will hum for 45 days, the last "ten days" being the critical ones where one is executed for not adhering to 666.
- Why am I babbling on about this? I have no idea.. Just felt like it, I guess. Everyone thinks there will be seven years, or at the very least three and a half years of unmitigated horror.. Not so. The 666 will be man's last genocide. It will be great, but it doesn't last near as long as we think.. In 70 a.d. the followers of Jesus remembered how the Lord had said, when you see thus and thus (the abomination, in that day Rome's banners on the temple.. in the 'last' days, the 666 abomination) set-up, head to the hills.. They did, and none were lost in the razing of Jerusalem in 70 a.d.
- Check it out and do the math.. it's a great riddle if you like riddles.. Daniel 12:11,12 "happy the one who makes it to the 1,335th day!" Happy? why happy on that day?

well i think god is of love, and why would a loving being who claims to care for us want to put destruction upon us,instead i think that if he does come it would to guide us back to order to reclaim pardise and teach us how to do that,because further more isnt god suppose to be a peacemaker and not destroyer?
