The Elijah Problem - Can Christ's Return by Spiritual?

About this episode

This episode discusses the spiritual interpretation of Christ's return and the roles of Elijah and Immanuel.

The spiritual fulfillment of the coming of Jesus, as opposed to a literal understanding of his expectation. This video is about how Elijah and Immanuel were supposed to come but we didn't literally get them coming physically from the sky or by name. But instead it came spiritually, so the second coming can, at least possibly, be fulfilled spiritually as well.
