The Bible provides multiple affirmations of Jesus's return, including His own words and the testimonies of the apostles.
Scripture is replete with affirmations of Christ's promised return, making it a core element of Christian eschatology. In addition to Revelation 22:20, where Christ states, 'Surely I come quickly,' we find assurances in the teachings of the apostles. For instance, Paul emphasizes in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 that the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven, assuring believers of His second advent. Additionally, the consistency of this promise throughout the New Testament underlines its significance for the church. The anticipation of Jesus's return is not merely a theological concept but a source of hope and motivation for believers to share the Gospel and live righteously.
