What does the Bible say about the second coming of Jesus?
Answered in 7 sources
The Bible teaches that the second coming of Jesus will be preceded by a falling away and the revelation of the man of sin, as stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:3.
In 2 Thessalonians 2, the Apostle Paul instructs believers about the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and emphasizes that certain events must unfold before this glorious return. Specifically, he mentions that before the day of the Lord comes, there will be a great falling away among professing believers, which implies a departure from the truth of the Gospel. Paul affirms that this falling away must happen first, revealing the seriousness of the times and the condition of the Church before Christ gathers His saints. This teaching serves as a reminder to remain vigilant and grounded in the gospel truth as we await His coming.
