1. What promise did Jesus make to the human family before He went to heaven?

Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

2. How does the Bible describe the return of Jesus?

Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

4. What great hope does the return of Jesus promise the world?

God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

5. When will Jesus come back to this world?

Of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

6. Is it possible to know when Jesus’ return is near?

Learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors!

7. What will Jesus’ return be like?

While they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

8. Will the return of Jesus be witnessed by people on the earth?

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him.

The sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

9. Will the return of Jesus be heard by people on earth?

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

10. What will the return of Jesus look like?

Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.

11. What great event will take place at the Second Coming of Jesus?

The dead in Christ will rise first.

The hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

12. What incredible transformation takes place in the living saints at Jesus’ return?

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

13. What warning did Jesus give in relation to His Second Coming?

As the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

14. What did Jesus mean when He said that when He returns, one would be taken and another would be left?

Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding at the mill: one will be taken and the other left. Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.

15. Is the return of Jesus going to be a secret?

If they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it.

16. What does the Bible say will precede the Second Coming of Jesus?

They are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

False christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Therefore you also be ready.

What I say to you, I say to all: Watch!

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
