8 Undeniable Facts About The Second Coming Of Christ

The second coming of Christ is a core Christian belief that is taught throughout the Holy Scriptures. In Matthew 24:29-31, Jesus revealed about 2000 years ago that he will return in the future to judge the living and the dead. So many very influential people have misled others with their false predictions of the day of the Second Coming of Christ simply because they confuse a certain period of tribulation to the period of Christ' return. In a this article, I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior prior to His Second Coming.

1). No one knows the day or the hour of Jesus' second coming (Matthew 24:36-37). Not even the angels in heaven. There is no point trying to fix any date to the second coming of Christ, because the Word of God is very clear on this.

2). The day of Christ's return will come like a thief." Prior to the second coming of Christ, people will continue in their normal business activities. They will say, "ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."

3). While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

4). There will be false prophets before Jesus returns: Jesus Himself prophesied in Matthew 24 that there would be false messiahs before his return and history has provided us with many examples.

5). The Bible says that the Gospel (the message about Jesus Christ' return will be preached throughout the world. The Bible also says that sometime after this happens, the Jesus will come. The Bible has been preached throughout the world for a long time now and with the increasing worldwide availability of television and the Internet, there is greater potential for the Gospel to be preached to to the entire world.

6). Just prior to the Second coming of Christ, there would be unequaled destruction and suffering, such that the world has never seen since it's creation: Many people have offered their opinions about this prophecy, claiming that it has already happened, or that it is happening, or that it will happen in the future. However, more suffering will come in the form of widespread killer diseases and famine, brutal terrorism, or nuclear war, etc. If those days had not been cut short (that is, if Christ does not intercede the suffering by the event of His Second Coming), no flesh would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened (Christ will come and Redeem His own).

7). Jesus prophesied that the Gentiles (non Jews) would trample upon Jerusalem prior to His Second Coming.

8). In books, movies and Internet articles, so much attention is given to the prophecies that foretell the future of the world that we sometimes overlook the prophecies that foretell our own futures, on an individual basis. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives. So then, dear readers, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to Pray honestly, and fervently for the mercy of God to help you overcome this sinful world. Therefore we should desire to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, so that we may be found spotless, blameless and at peace with God at the second coming of Christ.
