The Second Coming of Christ
The Manner of His Coming
With Power and Great Glory
Description
Christ's return will be in power and great glory, a stark contrast to His humble first advent. He will come on the clouds of heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire. The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God. He will be revealed from heaven, taking vengeance on those who know not God. His coming will shake the heavens and earth. The sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all nations will see Him coming. This glorious appearing will vindicate the faith of all who trusted Him.
