Christ (second advent)
(Acts 1:11) 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."
Taken together, the New Testament teachings concerning the return of Jesus Christ may be summarized as follows: That return is an event, not a process, and is personal and corporeal (Mat 23:39); (Mat 24:30); (Mat 25:31); (Mar 14:62); (Luk 17:24); (Joh 14:3); (Act 1:11); (Phi 3:20); (Phi 3:21); (1Th 4:14-17). His coming has a threefold relation: to the church, to Israel, to the nations. (a) To the church the descent of the Lord into the air to raise the sleeping and change the living saints is set forth as a constant expectation and hope (Mat 24:36); (Mat 24:44); (Mat 24:48-51); (Mat 25:13); (1Co 15:51); (1Co 15:52); (Phi 3:20); (1Th 1:10); (1Th 4:14-17); (1Ti 6:14); (Tit 2:13); (Rev 22:20). (b) To Israel, the return of the Lord is predicted to accomplish the yet unfulfilled prophecies of her national regathering, conversion, and establishment in peace and power under the Davidic Covenant (Act 15:14-17) with (Zec 14:1-9). "Kingdom (Old Testament)" (2Sa 7:8-17). See Scofield) - (Zec 13:8); (Luk 1:31-33). (See Scofield) - (1Co 15:24). (c) To the Gentile nations, the return of Christ is predicted to bring the destruction of the present political world-system (Dan 2:34); (Dan 2:35), See Scofield) - (Rev 19:11), judgment of (Mat 25:31-46) followed by world-wide Gentile conversion and participation in the blessings of the kingdom; (Isa 2:2-4); (Isa 11:10); (Isa 60:3); (Zec 8:3); (Zec 8:20); (Zec 8:23); (Zec 14:16-21).
