What does the Bible say about the return of Jesus?
Answered in 7 sources
The Bible promises that Jesus will return in the same way He ascended to heaven, bringing joy to His people and judgement to the world.
Acts 1:9-11 tells us that the same Jesus who was taken up into heaven will return in like manner. This assures believers that the Lord Himself will descend from heaven, just as He ascended. His return is described in various passages, emphasizing both the joy it brings to His followers and the judgement it will signify for the world. Revelation 1:7 confirms this by stating, 'Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him.' Therefore, the return of Christ is a central truth of Scripture, highlighting His sovereignty and the fulfillment of God's promise.
