메시아 재강림준비시대(再降臨準備時代)는 서기 1517년 종교개혁(宗敎改革)이 일어난 때부터 1918년 제1차 세계대전(第一次世界大戰)이 끝날 때까지의 400년 간을 말한다.
The period of preparation for the Second Advent of the Messiah was the four-hundred-year period from the Protestant Reformation in 1517 to the end of World War I in 1918.
이 시대의 성격에 관한 대강은 동시성(同時性)으로 본 메시아 강림준비시대(降臨準備時代)와의 대조에서 이미 논술되었으나, 여기에서 좀더 상세한 것을 알아보기로 하겠다. 그런데 복귀섭리(復歸攝理)로 보아 이 기간은 종교개혁기, 종교 및 사상의 투쟁기, 정치와 경제 및 사상의 성숙기 등 3기간으로 구분된다.
The character of this period was already summarized in comparison with the parallel period of preparation for the advent of the Messiah, but a more detailed examination will be made here. With respect to the providence of restoration, this period is divided into three periods: the period of the Reformation, the period of religious and ideological conflicts, and the period of the maturation of politics, economy and ideology.
