Jesus, the Christ: Second Coming of

But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.

Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.

For the Son of Man will come in His Father’s glory with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to what he has done.

Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”

For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings. …

“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. …

After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. …

“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, look at the magnificent stones and buildings!” …

“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

But I tell you truly, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God.”

Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them. …

Then He said to the disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. …

I tell you, He will promptly carry out justice on their behalf. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?”

So He said, “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to lay claim to his kingship and then return.

Beforehand, he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Conduct business with this until I return,’ he said.

When he returned from procuring his kingship, he summoned the servants to whom he had given the money, to find out what each one had earned.

As some of the disciples were remarking how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and consecrated gifts, Jesus said, …

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and welcome you into My presence, so that you also may be where I am.

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

You heard Me say, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it does happen, you will believe.

“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”

…that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.

Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.

Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly await the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He will sustain you to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men’s hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

But each in his own turn: Christ the firstfruits; then at His coming, those who belong to Him.

But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

…who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.

Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

…and to await His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead—Jesus our deliverer from the coming wrath.

After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

…so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.

By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep. …

For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

…and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels …

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers, …

Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

Keep this commandment without stain or reproach until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ,

…which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:

From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.

…as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

…so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.

Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the soil—how patient he is for the fall and spring rains. …

…so that the proven character of your faith—more precious than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

But rejoice that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed at the revelation of His glory.

And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.

For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.

“Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.”

Beloved, do not let this one thing escape your notice: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. …

And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.

Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied about them: “Behold, the Lord is coming with myriads of His holy ones

…to execute judgment on everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of every ungodly act of wickedness and every harsh word spoken against Him by ungodly sinners.”

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.

I am coming soon. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

“Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains awake and clothed, so that he will not go naked and let his shame be exposed.”

“Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done.

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
