What does the Bible say about the second coming of Christ?
Answered in 4 sources
The Bible prophesies that Christ will return to judge the living and the dead, offering hope to believers and warning to the unrepentant.
The second coming of Christ is a central theme in the Bible, particularly in prophetic texts like the Book of Joel and Revelation. Joel 3 describes the great and terrible day of the Lord, which serves as a day of reckoning for all of humanity. For believers, this day is marked by hope, as they will be gathered to be with the Lord, while the unrepentant will face the judgment of their rejection of Christ. Scripture emphasizes anticipation of His return, as discussed in Hebrews, where believers are encouraged to live in hopeful expectation of meeting Christ face to face, which reflects the glory of His presence.
