Jesus' Second Coming
Part 2 by Pastor Ronald Boelte
A Thousand-year Reign or Resurrection, Judgment, and Eternal Reward?

Last week we started looking at some scriptures that talk about Jesus'
second coming. We read about such things as whether Jesus will come again
and judge men, the fact that when that will happen is not known, and what
will happen to the earth and heaven when He comes.
Scriptures are very clear that Jesus will come back and that there will be
many people who do not believe it. 2 Peter 3:3-4 talks about those who
will scoff about the fact that it has not happened yet and say it will
never happen, but the Bible points out that it will happen when God
decides that the time is right.
The second point is that many people have tried to pick the time of that
coming by what they see happening around them and what the Bible says
about those end times. Every prediction by these men have been wrong.
There are those of every generation that have stated this surely must be
the last days. However, the Bible tells us that only God knows the exact
time that Jesus will come back and that we should be ready for it to
happen at any time.
The third point we looked at was what will happen to the earth and for
that matter heaven also. We are told in 2 Peter and Revelations that the
earth and heaven will be destroyed and a new heaven and earth will be
created by God.
As we continue our readings this week, three main subjects from God's Word
will be looked at. We will look at the resurrection of all men, the time
between Jesus' coming and the judgment of man, and the eternal destinies
of men. So get your Bible and let us begin to see what the Scriptures say
about Jesus' second coming to this earth.
