The Return of Christ – A Blessed Hope and Coming Glory


The Bible clearly promises that Jesus Christ will return in glory and power. The prophet Daniel foretold the timeline of redemption, with Messiah's return bringing final judgment and everlasting righteousness (Daniel 9:24-27). Jesus described the end of the age with signs in the heavens, the gathering of His elect, and a sudden, unexpected return like a thief in the night (Matthew 24:29-44). In parables, He warned us to stay awake and ready—like wise virgins prepared for the bridegroom (Matthew 25:1-13) and wheat separated from tares at harvest (Matthew 13:24-30).


Paul taught that the dead in Christ will rise, and the living will be changed in an instant—caught up to meet the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:50-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). He also urged believers to be alert and sober, as children of light (1 Thessalonians 5:1-11). Christ promises to keep His faithful from the hour of trial (Revelation 3:10-11) and will return as King of kings and Lord of lords, with the armies of heaven following Him (Revelation 19:7-16). Then Satan will be bound, and Christ will reign (Revelation 20:1-3).
