The Second Coming of Jesus Christ

Mark 13:24-37

Rev. Tadashi Nagae, pastor

Jesus told the disciples the prophecy of the end of the age on the Mount of Olives. Today's part is about his Second Coming.

In the latter half of the Tribulation Period, the abomination that causes desolation will proclaim himself to be God, and will persecute those who don't obey him. Also, natural disasters will happen and many people will lose their lives. In addition, nations in the world will gather in Israel and the final wars will occur continuously. While distresses are going on, Christ will return. He will come in the air at the first time, but at this time, he will come on the earth and establish the Millennium Kingdom. With these things in mind, the Lord said the followings:

The first is to learn. The Lord told us ahead of time. We must learn what kind of time now is.

The second is to look at the word. All things will fade and perish, but only the word of the LORD will never perish.

The third is to keep watch. Just like it is unknown when the owner of the house will come back, it is also unknown when the Lord will return.

The Lord is going to come. Let us walk wisely while preparing for that time.

<The Verse of the Bible>
At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.
Mark 13:26 (NIV)
