Why, How and When: The Second Coming of Jesus Christ

The Second Coming of Christ will be an awesome, super-glorious, worldwide event. It’s the culmination of what Jesus did as a carpenter, working, healing and serving, as a Lamb, dying on the cross, as a Priest, ministering in the Heavenly Sanctuary, our Lawyer, defending us before the tribunal of God and His return as a King of Kings and Lord of Lords, ultimately restoring relationship between God and man and establishing the seat of His universal kingdom on planet earth.

The Second Coming isn’t the end but the beginning of a new world. A new world order based on God is love, free of sin, heartache and death. Satan dies. Christ lives. Christ’s children will have eternal joy and peace. The Second Coming of Jesus marks the transition from what humanity was after the fall in the Garden of Eden, sinful, broken and, now, what we can all become by confessing our sins and choosing Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. We live in a special time of earth’s history, a time for preparation, where each human being’s case will be investigated before the great tribunal in heaven. Do we know Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior?

The Second Coming of Jesus will be a cataclysmic event. Nothing like it has ever been seen on planet earth.

It will be really, really, really big. Some will welcome and praise His return, others will cry out to have the rocks fall on them.

What leads up to Second Coming of Jesus Christ? How can we know when it will happen? Will we be able to see Jesus returning to planet earth? Who can be saved from the final conflagration? What happens to those who have already passed on? What about Satan and His angels?

Let’s break it down:

IS THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST GUARANTEED?

There will be a Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Bible identifies His “first coming”—when He came to planet earth as a baby, both human and divine, lived a sinless life, ministered to those around Him, and died for the penalty of all of our sins, restoring our ability to choose, so we could have the glorious opportunity to be redeemed and restored in the image of God, as sons and daughters of God.

When His earthly ministry was completed, He had to depart from earth and was ascended up into heaven to begin His work as our Mediator and Priest (Luke 24:51). His disciples watched as He was taken up and a cloud received Him out of their sight (Acts 1:9).

“…While they [the disciples of Jesus] looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven’” (Acts 1: 10, 11, ESV).

Friend: Jesus Christ is coming again. He said it Himself. And I believe it!

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:1-3).

Just as the disciples, “through the Holy Spirit, would receive power to be witnesses for Him to the ends of the earth “(Acts 1:8), so are we called, to not only look forward to His return, but to hasten the coming of the day of God
