Jesus - His Ascension and Second Coming


"And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was departing, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them; and they also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, Who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." (Acts 1:9-11)

"After forty days of instructing His disciples, the risen Christ ascended up on high and is seated at the right hand of the Father (Hebrews 10:12). Two men (angels) brought the message of His second coming to the apostles: "This Jesus, Who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way . . ."  The message of the second coming of Jesus is so important, that it is mentioned over three hundred times in the New Testament.

1) He is coming to take His church to be with Him (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17); also (John 14:1-6).
2) He is coming to judge the nations (Matthew 25:31-46).
3) He is coming to save Israel (Romans 11:25, 26).
4) He is coming to sit upon the throne of David (Luke 1:31-33; also Isaiah 9:6, 7).
5) He is coming to bring righteous government to this earth (Hebrews 1:8).

Jesus Christ is coming back to this earth again. "Come Lord Jesus!""

And let all God's saints (you and me) say, "Maranatha!"  (Come Lord Jesus!)
