How will Jesus come back?
We know Jesus' second
coming will be a literal event and will be just like He went to heaven the
first time. Acts 1:9-11 says the following, "Now when He had spoken these
things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of
their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up,
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee,
why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from
you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Will the angels come back with Jesus?
The Bible says that the
angels will return with Jesus and they will come with a loud sound of the
trumpet to gather from the whole earth those who have died in Christ. (Matt
16:27; 24:31; 25:31)
What happens to the righteous at the second
coming?
At Jesus’ second coming
the righteous dead will be raised to life and taken up to heaven along with the
righteous who are still alive on the earth. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says,
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will
rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with
them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be
with the Lord.”
Are the wicked destroyed by Christ’s coming?
When Jesus returns to
earth the wicked who are left alive will call for the rocks and hills to fall
on them because they cannot look upon the face of Christ. (Revelation 6:15-17)
The wicked will be destroyed with everlasting destruction because they did not
know God or obey the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10)
When will we get immortal bodies?
At the moment of Jesus'
second coming, at the last trump, the mortal bodies of the saved will be
transformed and they will receive immortal bodies. 1 Corinthians 15:52-53 says,
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet
will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality.”
Why is Jesus coming back?
The Bible says that
Jesus is coming back to reward the inhabitants of the earth and bring many back
to heaven with Him. (Revelation 22:12) The Bible also says in Matthew 25:34,
"Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of
My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the
world.”
Jesus, more than
anything, wants to spend time with you, He invites you to return to heaven with
Him to enjoy an eternity with no more tears, pain or suffering. What would keep
you from accepting the invitation of Christ? What would keep you from putting
Him first in your life? What would be more important than saying, “I want to
pattern my life after Jesus and soon live with Him forever?”
