the return of JESUS

The Second Coming
of Jesus Christ!

What does the Bible say about Jesus’ second coming? What are the signs of His coming? And what must we do to receive the reward of the righteous and not the curse of the wicked?

These are important questions to answer because Jesus is coming again soon! Today we live in a very troubling world. It is more than just the common problems that we face today. We are experiencing a major undoing of world stability and of disappearing freedoms and values that once helped to keep the world functional.

But things cannot continue as they have in the past with todays problems. Many can see that we are approaching a cataclysmic ending of our world involving the world’s finances and especially destructive forces. Many are now searching for how they can escape what they see is coming ahead.

I believe that the only answer to these deep seated problems are found in the Bible. When Jesus comes back at the end of the age, in His second coming, He will stop the destruction and trouble that is in the world and save His people.

When is Jesus coming back? What is it going to be like? How can we be one of those who will receive His reward when He comes and not be subject of His wrath which is directed to those who destroy the earth.

• The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth. Revelation 11:18

Jesus is coming back to reward His people. But He is also coming back to destroy those who destroy the earth! These are awesome and serious thoughts as we approach this time.

The purpose of this web page is to explore what the Bible itself actually teaches about Christ’s Second Coming and to let the Bible speak for itself.

What are the Warnings and Signs of Christ’s Soon Coming?

When Jesus told His disciples of His soon coming, He especially talked about the signs that will appear in the sky. We can see that Christ’s return will be a very visible event! He also spoke concerning false Christs, who would imitate His coming, to try to deceive us.

This description is found in three places: Matthew 24:23-28; Mark 13:5-6; Luke 17:22-25. Mark has very little so below the other two accounts are placed side by side. Compare the two accounts. They complement each other on especially the specific points that are colored:

Purple: Describes these false Christs who will try to deceive God’s people. Yellow: Warns us not to believe these false Christs. Red: Describes the actual coming event of Christ’s soon appearing.

 

Matthew 24:23-28 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Matthew 24:23-28.

Luke 17:22-25 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. Luke 17:22-25.

 

Apparently, there is going to be a lot of deception about Jesus’ second coming. But God will not allow even Satan to fully copy how Jesus is to come. We know this is true because Jesus specifically warns us how He is to come. All others are imposters!

If people say they are one of the dead prophets or even Christ or if even Satan comes as Christ! We are told not to believe any of these reports or even what we see. Because Christ’s coming will be a very public event! For as lightning comes from the east to the west, covering the entire sky; This is what it is going to be like when Jesus comes. No matter where you are on earth, the lightning will cover the sky announcing His coming.

So, if someone says Jesus has already come, you will know that it is not true! When Jesus comes back, everyone will see it over the whole earth.
