We know Jesus is coming again because the Bible explicitly promises it, affirmed by the words of angels and Scriptures such as Acts 1:10-11.
The promise of Jesus' return is firmly established in Scripture. Acts 1:10-11 details the angelic announcement that Jesus, having ascended, will return in the same manner. This is reinforced throughout the New Testament, with passages like Revelation 1:7 declaring that 'every eye will see him.' Moreover, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 speaks to the personal and bodily nature of this return, assuring believers that they will meet the Lord. The consistent testimony of Scripture provides a robust foundation for our belief in the second coming, giving us confidence and hope. It is not merely a doctrine but a core aspect of our faith that encourages us to live in anticipation of His return.
