Return of Christ
27:12

Lincoln Cannon

Return of Christ

Lincoln Cannon reinterprets the prophecy of Christ’s return through the lens of Christian theosis and Mormon theology. Examining the Hebrew Bible’s multiple “Christs”—including King David and Cyrus of Persia—alongside Paul’s teaching that “Christ is in you,” he argues that the “Son of Man” refers not exclusively to Jesus but to all the children of humanity. When Jesus says his return will be “as lightning visible from east to west,” he speaks of a collective transformation: the return of Christ is the moment when we become Christ, loving, healing, and raising the dead as Jesus commanded his disciples to do.
