Coming Again
The Bible says, “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and
that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD
that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created
from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that
I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:4-8 (KJV)
Biblical prophecy provides some of the greatest encouragement and hope available to us today. Just as the Old Testament
is saturated with prophecies concerning Christ’s first advent, so both testaments are filled with references to the
second coming of Christ. One scholar has estimated that there are 1,845 references to Christ's second coming in the Old Testament,
where 17 books give it prominence. In the 260 chapters of the New Testament, there are 318 references to the second advent
of Christ, an amazing 1 out of every 30 verses. Twenty-three of the 27 New Testament books refer to this great event. For
every prophecy in the Bible concerning Christ’s first advent, there are 8 which look forward to His second!
He came the first time and the Perfect Lamb Sacrifice but He is coming again as the Lion of Judah!
Are you prepared for His coming?
Jesus said in Matthew 24:37-42 (KJV) “But as the days
of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the
flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one
shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other
left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.”
