Are there astrological signs of Jesus' second coming?
The astrological signs expected in the latter part of the first century did not eventuate and Jesus did not return on cue. If those signs failed, we can not expect astrological signs of the second coming in our own generation or in future centuries.
A:In Matthew chapter 24, after Jesus had just excoriated the scribes and Pharisees, it says "And Jesus went out and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings and the temple" (clue # 1). In verse 2, Jesus says (regarding the temple)..."See ye not all these things? verily I say to unto you, there shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down" (clue #2). In verse 3, the disciples ask Jesus "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world" (clue # 3). Jesus proceeded to explain to His disciples the signs as:- Hearing of wars and rumors of wars.
- Nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.
- Famines
- Pestilence.
- Earthquakes in diverse places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then they shall:
- Deliver you up to be afflicted.
- Many false prophets shall arise.
- The love of many shall wax cold.
- The Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world, and then the end shall come.
- Whoso readeth let him understand all of this when you see the abomination which cause desolation standing in the holy place.
Up to this point, there have been no astrological signs to speak of. However, Jesus goes on to say, starting in Matthew 24:29-30 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory."
Skeptics like Bertrand Russell and Albert Schweitzer have been quick to point out that by these very words, Jesus disqualified Himself as deity and demonstrated beyond peradventure of doubt that He was a false prophet because He did not return "on cue." Had these men understood the language of the Bible, they would have understood that Jesus was not predicting His second coming in Matthew 24. He was predicting the judgement of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple (which occurred 40 years later within their lifetimes or this generation). When Jesus said, "They will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of the sky with great power and glory, he was using apocalyptic language that anyone familiar with the Old Testament would readily grasp. As any student of Scripture should know, "clouds" are a common Old Testament symbol pointing to God as the sovereign Judge of the nations. In the words of Ezekiel, "The day of the Lord is near--a days of clouds, a time of doom for the nations (Ezekiel 30:3). Or as the prophet Joel put it, "The day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand--a day of darkness and gloom, a day of cloudsand blackness" (Joel 2:1-2). Recall the language used regarding the judgement of Egypt: "See the Lord rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt" (Isaiah 19:1). Like Daniel, Isaiah, Ezekial, and a host of prophets before Him, Jesus employed the language of "clouds" to warn His disciples of judgement that would befall Jerusalem within a generation. Using final consummation language to characterize a near future event. Far from predicting His second coming, Jesus was telling His disciples that those who witnesses Jerusalem's destruction would likewise see His vindication and exaltation as Israel's rightful king.

Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"
Why the nativity story is important?
The nativity story is important because it is the foundational story of Christianity. It highlights the birth of Jesus Christ, who is believed to be the Son of God and the Savior of humanity. The story holds religious and spiritual significance, emphasizing themes of hope, love, and redemption. It is celebrated during the Christmas season and serves as a reminder of the central message of Christianity.
What did Jesus sweat in the Garden of Gethsemene?
Luke 22:44 elaborates on the earlier account, saying that Jesus was in such agony that his sweat was like great drops of blood.
Of course, it could be that the authors of Mark and Matthew simply failed to mention this small detail, but then we find that John's Gospel reverses the entire story. In this gospel, Jesus does not pray in the Garden of Gethsemene and does not ask God to be spared from crucifixion but does say a triumphant prayer to God (John 17:1-26) saying that his time had come, before reaching the Garden (John 18:1). John provides no room for Jesus to suffer before (or even during) his crucifixion.
Luke's account adds a nice dramatic touch to the story of the Garden of Gethsemene, but we must remember that the author was not present and that Jesus was alone, with just Peter, James and John asleep a stone's throw away. We know the author of John's Gospel knew the story in Luke, but he clearly did not believe it.

How many beating of Jesus Christ before he crucified?
He was beaten with a cat of 9 tails and was beaten an unspecified number of times. Had He been beaten by the Jews than 39 lashes would have been the law, 40 having been accepted as a maximum humanly survivable, the Jews believed that they should hold back the 40th for fear of beating too many times. Jesus was not beaten in this manner though as He was flogged by the Romans who had no such law.
Jesus (Yesua, Esau) is a prophet and messenger of Allaah (al-ilaah, elohim), the sole creator and originator of the universe and the only deity worthy of worship. Jesus is al-Maseeh (the Messiah) whose arrival was promised to the Jews and who were anticipating the Messiah, as well as another Prophet to come after him. Jesus was born of miraculous birth through Mary (Maryam) yet he is a mortal human devoid of any characteristics of divinity. He is no more than a messenger in a line of prophets and messengers sent to preach the pure monotheistic creed which entails and necessitates that none is worthy of worship besides Allaah. Neither any man, or jinn, or angel, or stone, or tree, or natural element is to be given any of the types and forms of worship which include supplication, prostration, bowing, soliciting rescue, and such love, fear, hope and reverence due only to Allaah, since the worship of whatever is besides Allaah is the foundation of all false religion, and the is the greatest crime that can be committed. Jesus came to be through the word of Allaah, the Exalted, in that Allaah only says to a thing "Be!" and it is. And tidings of his arrival came through the spirit (al-Ruh) who is Jibreel (Gabriel), who is the greatest and loftiest of the Angels, responsible for conveying information and revelation from His Lord. Thus, Jesus is said to be a "word" and a "spirit" from Allaah, in the manner described and not upon the sense claimed by Christians. Jesus holds a special position as he is mentioned in two places in the Qur'an as being from the "firmly determined and resolved Messengers" (أولى العزم) alongside Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). It was belief in Jesus as Messenger of Allaah and affirmation of his message, that of pure monotheism and abiding by the law (Torah) which characterized the Islam (submission) which all prophets and messengers came with, namely, singling out Allaah in worship and abiding by whatever law was given for that era. This is what Jesus came to preach to the Jews and he came to admonish and reprimand them for their deviation from the law of Moses and for falling into superstition, sorcery, usury and the likes. Jesus was given miracles to prove his truthfulness and from them were healing the sick and giving life to the dead. Jesus was not abandoned by Allaah to the Jews to be crucified or killed. Rather, Allaah, the Exalted raised him up unto Himself and it was made to appear to them that they had crucified him. The people after Jesus innovated the false saying that Jesus is Allaah, or the son of Allaah, or one of three. And they distorted and changed the scripture of the Gospel, taking liberties with it, adding things to it and they twisted the words from their proper places. These false doctrines appeared when the message of Jesus was adapted to be more palatable to a Greek and Roman pagan audience. Jesus is alive and he will return upon earth at the appointed time near the approach of the Hour when he will kill al-Dajjaal (the great liar), and he will abide by and establish Islaam, and there will be none from the people of the book (Jews, Christians) except that they will affirm their faith in him and his essential message of Islam.
