Christ's return is affirmed by scripture, particularly through the teachings of the apostles and the prophecies in the New Testament.
The certainty of Christ's return is rooted in biblical promise and scriptural teaching. In 1 Thessalonians 4:15, Paul states that 'we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep,' indicating that belief in Christ's resurrection is foundational to the hope of His return. Furthermore, Matthew 24:30 prophesies that 'they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven,' affirming this central tenet of the faith. The church has historically held to these truths, finding comfort and assurance in the promise of His second coming.
