9. What do You Know of Christ's Return to Earth?
Christ is love in its essence itself. He loves all people, especially those who live in the spirit of His love, who become loving and forgiving as God forgave them in Christ. He longs for us and wants us to be with Him forever. Jesus openly prophesied his second coming in the same manner as he foretold his death and resurrection. Every wise person makes himself ready to meet him, knowing that Christ will come with great glory. He will separate those who have accepted his redemption from those people who are hard-hearted, who are proud and do not confess that they are sinners in need of Christ's forgiveness.
Dear friend, hasten to accept Christ so that you may not fall into the final judgment. For he is the only one able to deliver you from the coming wrath.
All faithful believers anticipate for Christ's coming. Even the Jews and Muslims know that he is coming soon. Some people believe that Christ will reign over the world for forty years. Some estimate his reign to be one hundred years. Others are sure it is a thousand. But the Bible assures us that Jesus is the King of kings and Lord of lords and that he has no end. His kingdom is forever. He said: "I am a king. For this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me" (John 18:37).
