2. THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
“Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God;…”
2 John 9

3. He is returning (John 14:1-3).
Jesus was preparing apostles for His departure.
Holy Spirit came after Jesus left (John 16:5, 7, 13).
Apostles saw Jesus ascend (Acts 1:9-11).
Stephen saw Jesus in heaven (Acts 7:56).

4. Watch out for false teaching about our Lord’s return.
Jesus warned (Matthew 24:5, 11).
Paul warned (2 Timothy 2:16-18).
Jesus taught ALL will be raised from the dead at the same time (John 5:28-29).

5. Watch out for false teaching about our Lord’s return.
Jesus is not returning to set up His throne and kingdom on earth:
Prophecy (Jeremiah 22:30)
His kingdom not of this world (John 18:36)
His throne in heaven (Luke 1:32-33; Acts 2:30-31)
Christians are in the kingdom (Colossians 1:13)
A heavenly citizenship (Philippians 3:20-21)

6. What will transpire when the Lord comes again?
He is coming to render judgment upon all men
(2 Thessalonians 1:7-10).
Matthew 16:27; Acts 10:42; 17:30-31
He’s coming to gather all the faithful to Himself
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
1 Peter 1:4-5, 7

7. What will transpire when the Lord comes again?
This day of the Lord is definitely coming, but we do not when it will be (1 Thessalonians 5:1-3).
In God’s timing (2 Peter 3:8-9)
Destruction of the earth (2 Peter 3:7, 10, 12)
