The second coming of Jesus Christ

Thursday, 10 September 2009 17:47

The Lord gave his promise that will come a second time to bring him to his own, John 14:2-3.

Certainly the time of his coming, and nobody knows his time is coming near, Matthew 24:34-36, Mark 13:32, 1 Peter 4:7.

So you do not know when to come, we must be prepared for that event, as we are exhorted to do this, Matthew 24:42.

The apostle Peter says that if you have not been the Lord Jesus Christ because He is patient, not wanting anyone to perish but that all should come to repentance 2 Peter 3:9.

We must distinguish two stages in its coming.

1 The rapture of the church.

The Lord will come and call his church, which will be raptured to meet and be with Him as Believers who have died will be raised and then living will be transformed, and together we will be led by the Lord, 1 Thessalonians 4:13 -18, Philippians 3:20-21, Matthew 24:40-41.

This event will take unsuspecting unbelieving humanity which will be abandoned to suffer the trial of the Apocalypse, Matthew 24:37-39, 25:1-2, 24:21, Isaiah 2:11, Revelation 3:10.

Meanwhile, the church will be rejoicing in the presence of the Lord Matthew 25:10, Colossians 3:4. Will the marriage of the Lamb with his church, Revelation 19:6-8. And he conducted the trial of the works of the believer, where the Lord will give every believer the reward that He wants to give 1 Corinthians 3: 12-15; be given the award to each according to their works Revelation 22:12 .

2 ° After the Apocalypse, will be the coming of Jesus in their church to the ground, Mark 13:24-29, 1 Thessalonians 3:13, Revelation 19:11-15, 19-21.

Come the defeat of the Antichrist, false prophet and his troops at the battle of Armageddon, the arrest of the beast and false prophet and its release into the lake of fire and the release of Israel Revelation 16:13-16, 19: 19-21.

The Taking of Satan and his confinement for a thousand years Revelation 20:1-3.

The conversion of the people of Israel, Zechariah 13:6, 12:10-14

The resurrection of the martyrs of the Apocalypse Revelation 20:4-6

The trial of nations Joel 3:2-3, Matthew 25:31-46.

The Lord's Supper, Matthew 26:29.

The millennium will be a reign of perfect peace, 14:16-19.

The rebellion of the infidels at the end of the millennium, (not the church) Revelation 20:7-10.

The trial of the angels infidels, 1 Corinthians 6:3, 2 Peter 2:4.

The resurrection of damnation. A thousand years after the first, Revelation 20:5-6, 11-15, John 5:28-29

The final trial, Revelation 20:11-15

The Descent of New Jerusalem, Revelation 21 and 22.
