The second coming and end times a glorious hope OK The concept of the second coming and end

times This is a very important event in Christianity This belief centers around the return of Christ

to earth and the combination of God's plan for humanity The specifics interpretations may vary among different denominations There are

key biblical references and teachings that will provide insight into the topic that we want

to go back to and stick with scripture So let's talk about the second coming first The Bible

affirms Christ will return to earth in a glorious and triumphant manner His second coming is described as an

event with worldwide impact meaning everybody will know what's going on This signals the completion of God's redemptive plan

So we can go to the Bible go back to scripture to see this Matthew 2430 then

will appear in heaven the sign of the son of man and then all the tribes of the earth will

mourn and they will see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory

So acts 111 another good example of this this Jesus who was taken up from you into

heaven will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven again Revelation

and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him Even so amen

So significance of the second coming What does it mean The second coming of Jesus It's holds big implications for

both believers and the world as a whole whether you believe or you don't believe we will all experience

this It's a time of final judgment the establishment of God's eternal kingdom on earth So

some key aspects that are related to the second coming judgment The second coming will be

accompanied by the final judgments where all people will be held accountable for their actions and their beliefs We see

this in Matthew 2531 to 46 revelation 2011 to 15 You can reference those let's talk about the

resurrection here OK The second coming involves the resurrection of the dead both of the righteous and the unrighteous

OK And first Thessalonians 416 to 17 and revelation 24 to 6 For your references restoration here

Jesus return will bring about the renewal and restoration of all creation OK So end times and eschatology

eschatology refers to the study of the end times or the last days It explores events signs

and conditions leading up to the second coming of Jesus while interpretations may differ there are some key elements associated

with the end times What are some of these key elements Let's talk about them First one is tribulation

What does this mean A period of intensified turmoil and tribulation before the second coming You see

this again in Matthew 2421 revelation 714 the anti-christ the rise of a figure known as

the anti-christ who opposes Christ and deceives many We see this in first John two and four

the millennium These are different views regarding the interpretation of the 1000 year reign of Christ

We see mentioned in revelation 21 to 6 with some believing it to be a literal period While others

see it symbolically the need for systematic theology involves organizing and studying these biblical teachings according to these

various topics We can see this done well here with eschatology This seeks to provide a comprehensive and coherent

understanding of God of his plan and his ultimate relationship with humanity
