What does the Bible say about the second coming of Christ?
Answered in 5 sources
The Bible teaches that the Son of Man will return in glory to judge the living and the dead, separating the righteous from the unrighteous.
The Bible assures us of the second coming of Christ as described in Matthew 25:31-46, where the Son of Man will come in His glory with all His holy angels. This event will culminate in a final judgment, where all nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the sheep from the goats. The righteous, represented by the sheep, will inherit the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation of the world, while the unrighteous, the goats, will face eternal punishment. This teaching emphasizes both the assurance of Christ's return and the necessity of being prepared for His coming judgment.
