If you have spent any time among  conservative types of churches, this topic can become a real turnoff, because there is a cottage industry around the rapture and end-times prophecy. And honestly, it seems like the second coming takes a back seat to the tribulation, and the whole thing is completely disconnected from reality.   Let's go back to our main thesis: Jesus Christ did not come to start a religion, he came to establish a Kingdom. The whole Bible from beginning to end is about this Kingdom. It is not about religion. And when you try to understand the second coming from a religious grid, things get weird. And it is really important for artists and creative people. Because if you try to fit your life into the religious grid, you produce bad art. If you are an artist for the Kingdom there is a lot of freedom.
