The Second Coming of Christ
The Promise of His Return
He Will Come Again
Description
The same Jesus who ascended will return in like manner—personally, visibly, bodily, and gloriously. This is the blessed hope of the church, the promise that sustains believers through tribulation. He who testified these things says, 'Surely I come quickly.' The early church lived in eager expectation: 'Even so, come, Lord Jesus.' His coming will be sudden, unexpected by the world—like a thief in the night, like lightning flashing across the sky. Every eye shall see Him, and all tribes of the earth will mourn. This is not metaphor but the actual, physical return of Christ to earth.
