 THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST



Many Christians today are what I would call one horse Christians. That is to say that the only Biblical truth in which they are interested is the second coming of Jesus Christ. They want to know all the signs. Some have even set dates. Mark of the beast. 6 6 6. Man of lawlessness in II Thessalonians. Tell us, Preacher Man, when is Jesus coming again? 


They are not interested in the doctrine of the church, corporate worship, discipleship, development of spiritual gifts, spiritual growth and missions. Could care even less about stewardship and the future. All they care about is this: when is Jesus coming again?

That is a one horse Christian!


The disciples themselves were interested in this subject and asked Jesus one day about it. If you want to know about the Second Coming, then you must read Matthew 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21. Then read next the first book of Thessalonians, chapter 4 and II Thessalonians chapter 2. Next take on I Corinthians 15. Then try II Peter 3. And finally, read and study the 22 chapters in Revelation and get back to me and let me know what you think. Reconcile all those passages. Then, correlate all those verses with any Old Testament passages and then try to explain it. Study all the signs. And get back to me.


Before you go to all that trouble, I share two simple verses. In fact, they are the words of Jesus Himself. Listen to them very, very carefully.


Matthew 24:36 “But concerning that day and hour, NO ONE KNOWS, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”


Matthew 24:44 “Therefore, be ye also ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”


Read Acts 1:6-7! "It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has fixed ..."


Nobody knows. But the Father!

You need to be ready!
