#24 The Second Coming Of Christ
The second coming of Christ is the blessed hope of the church, the grand climax of the gospel. The Savior's coming will be literal, personal, visible and worldwide. When He returns, the righteous dead will be resurrected, and together with the righteous living will be glorified and taken to heaven, but the unrighteous will die. The almost complete fulfillment of most lines of prophecy, together with the present condition of the world, indicates that Christ's coming is imminent. The date and time of that event has not been revealed, and we are therefore exhorted to be ready at all times. Support is found in these Bible passages: Titus 2:13: Hebrews 9:28: John 14:1-3: Acts 1:9-11: Matthew 24:14: Revelation 1:7: Matthew 24:43,44: Matthew 26:64: 1Thessalonians 4:13-18: 1Corinthians 15:51-54: 2Thessalonians 1:7-10 and 2:8: Revelation 14:14-20: Revelation 19:11-21: Matthew 24: Mark 13: Luke 21: 2Timothy 3:1-5: 1Thessalonians 5:1-6
