John prophesied, "Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him" (Rev 1:7). Enoch prophesied, "'Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones'" (Jude 14). He "shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire" (2Th 1:7). "The Lord will come in fire and His chariots like the whirlwind" (Isa 66:15). The Second Coming will come "'immediately after the tribulation'" (Mt 24:29). In "'those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken'" (:29). There will be "'men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world'" (Lk 21:26). "'Just as the lightning comes from the east, and flashes even to the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be'" (Mt 24:27).
The circumstances of the Second Coming are that "the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle" (Zec 14:3). He "will have a day of reckoning against everyone who is proud and lofty . . . that he may be abased" (Isa 2:12). He will "execute judgment upon all, and to convince all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds" (Jude 15). He will "render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire" (Isa 66:15). He will "deal out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus" (2Th 1:8). "The Lord alone will be exalted in that day" (Isa 2:17). "It will be a unique day which is known to the Lord" (Zec 14:7). "In that day the Lord will be the only one, and His name the only one" (:9). "'The sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn'" (Mt 24:30). "'They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory'" (:30).
His angels "'will gather together His elect from the four winds'" (:31). "In Christ all shall be made alive . . . at His coming" (1Co 15:22-23). "In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives" (Zec 14:4). But "that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed" (2Th 2:3). Therefore, "we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13). However, "not everyone has faith" (2Th 3:2) but we do not "grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope" (1Th 4:13). Many "come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb" (Rev 7:14). "The armies of heaven following him . . . were dressed in fine linen" (Rev 19:14) which are the "righteous acts of the saints" (:8).
