Return of Christ

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of New Testament passages concerning the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. By examining key scriptures across the Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation, it evaluates how, when, and under what conditions Christ’s return will occur. The study highlights that the Second Coming is described as a visible, audible, and sudden global event accompanied by signs in the heavens, the final judgment, the resurrection of the dead, and the gathering of the elect.
