Second Coming
When Jesus was alive on Earth in the first century, He announced that He would be coming back some day from heaven to gather those from throughout history who have believed in Him and accepted Him as Savior and Lord. At that future time, those who had died earlier will be resurrected to life in indestructible bodies, and those who are still alive will have their bodies changed to the same type of body. This event is referred to as the Second Coming of Christ, or the Return of Christ. Some denominations believe His words to have only been a metaphor, and they do not expect Him to actually return to Earth. Others accept the prediction as literal, and many have spent considerable effort in speculating on just when this Second Coming might happen. |
