Second Coming Christ
God's people are waiting for Jesus to return. Then what are the signs He gave us to know when, where, and how He will come?
Matt 24:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us... when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?'''
Jesus Christ prophesied that the Son of Man would appear on the clouds of heaven.
Luke 21:27-28, "At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
When these things begin to
take place stand up and lift up
your heads, because your
redemption is drawing near.''
Matt 24:30-31 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven... they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory..."
What is the biblical meaning of cloud? Who exactly will see the Son of Man when He comes in a cloud? As God's people, understanding this prophecy is crucial in recognizing the Second Coming Christ.
It is commonly understood that the Second Coming of Christ marks Judgment Day.
If Christ's Second Coming and Judgment Day are the same event, why did Jesus Christ make a distinction between the two? What did He say concerning the time of His second appearance?
Matt 24:32 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its twigs come out... (he) is near, right at the door."
Jesus Christ instructed the disciples to learn the parable of the Fig Tree so they may see the signs and know when to expect His second coming.
Unless we seek to understand the truth of the parables Christ told, we can never recognize Christ in His second coming.
Matt 13:10-13 The disciples came to him and asked, 'Why do you speak to the people in parables?" He replied, "Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them..."
When Jesus taught the people of that time He spoke in parables.
Every word of God must be fulfilled.
Heb 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
