In Christianity, the Second Coming is the anticipated return of Jesus Christ from heaven to earth, an event that will fulfill aspects of Messianic prophecy, such as the general resurrection of the dead, the last judgment of the dead and the living and the full establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth (also called the "Reign of God"), including the Messianic Age.

Terminology

Christians use a range of names for this concept of Jesus Christ's second coming or return, drawing on a range of Biblical images. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia article on General Judgment:

“

In the New Testament the second Parousia, or coming of Christ as Judge of the world, is an oft-repeated doctrine. In Christian eschatology, the Last Judgment or Day of the Lord is the judgment by God of every human who ever lived The Saviour Himself not only foretells the event but graphically portrays its circumstances (Matthew 24:27 sqq. [Olivet discourse]; 25:31 sqq. The Olivet discourse is a biblical passage found in the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew ( Mark ( and Luke ( [Judgment of the Nations]). The Sheep and the Goats or "The Judgment of the Nations" was a discourse of Jesus recorded in the New Testament. The Apostles give a most prominent place to this doctrine in their preaching (Acts 10:42,17:31) and writings (Romans 2:5-16, 14:10; 1 Cor. 4:5; 2 Cor. 5:10; 2 Tim. 4:1; 2 Thess. 1:5; James 5:7). The Twelve Apostles (Greek apostolos, "someone sent out" e Besides the name Parusia (parousia), or Advent (1 Cor. 15:23; 2 Thess. 2:1-9), the second coming is also called Epiphany, epiphaneia, or Appearance (2 Thess 2:8; 1 Tim. 6:14; 2 Tim. 4:1; Titus 2:13), and Apocalypse (apokalypsis), or Revelation (2 Thess. 2:7; 1 Peter 4:13). The time of the second coming is spoken of as "that Day" (2 Tim. 4:8), "the day of the Lord" (1 Thess. 5:2), "the day of Christ" (Philemon 1:6), "the day of the Son of Man" (Luke 17:30), "the last day" (John 6:39-40). The Rapture is a prophesied event in Christian eschatology, in which Christians will be gathered together at the return of Christ; even Christians who have died The phrase son of man is a primarily Semitic Idiom that originated in Ancient Mesopotamia, used to denote humanity or self

”

The phrase Second Coming is not used in the Bible. It comes from the life or incarnation of Jesus of Nazareth as being his first coming to earth. Incarnation which literally means embodied in flesh, refers to the conception and birth of a sentient creature (generally a human who is the Some Christians refer to the Second Coming as the last coming because of scripture referring to him as being the "First and the Last," "The Beginning and End," "The Alpha to Omega. The term Alpha and Omega comes from the phrase "I am the Alpha and the Omega " (τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω an appellation of God in the "^[1] and others do not define it by number, highlighting Christ's coming as an ongoing process.

The Parousia is the term used in the Bible, see Strong's G3952 for details, which includes the Thayer's Lexicon definition: "In the N. Joseph Henry Thayer ( November 7, 1828 — November 26, 1901) US biblical scholar was born in Boston Massachusetts T. especially of the advent, i. e. , the future, visible, return from heaven of Jesus, the Messiah, to raise the dead, hold the last judgment, and set up formally and gloriously the kingdom of God. " According to the Bauer lexicon: "of Christ, and nearly always of his Messianic Advent in glory to judge the world at the end of this age. The Bauer-Danker Lexicon (ISBN 0226039331 is among the most highly respected dictionaries of Biblical Greek. "

Jesus Christ, the Son of Man

In the Bible, the synoptic Gospels contain several examples of Jesus referring to himself as the Son of Man or talking about the climactic role of the Son of Man coming (often in "glory" or in "his kingdom") and Jesus' own impending suffering and execution, and similar persecution of his disciples: Matt 10:17-42, 13:40-43, 16:24-28, Mark 8:34-9:1, Luke 9:23-27, 17:20-37; the apocalyptic chapters set on the Mount of Olives called the Olivet discourse (Mark 13, Matthew 24, Luke 21) and The Sheep and the Goats or "Judgement of the Nations" (Matthew 25:31-46); and again when he was on trial before the Jewish high priests (Mark 14:62, Matt 26:64); and the "Twelve thrones of judgment" (Matthew 19:28-30, Luke 22:28-30). Etymology According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word bible is from Latin biblia, traced from the same word through Medieval Latin and Late Latin This article is about the canonical books of the New Testament The phrase son of man is a primarily Semitic Idiom that originated in Ancient Mesopotamia, used to denote humanity or self In Christianity, the disciples were the students of Jesus during his ministry. The Mount of Olives (also Mount Olivet, جبل الزيتون الطور Jebel az-Zeitun הר הזיתים Har HaZeitim; is a mountain ridge in east The Olivet discourse is a biblical passage found in the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew ( Mark ( and Luke ( The Sheep and the Goats or "The Judgment of the Nations" was a discourse of Jesus recorded in the New Testament. The Sanhedrin Trial of Jesus is an event reported by all the Canonical Gospels of the Bible. Most scholars interpret Jesus' use of the title Son of Man as self referential – applying to himself a significant messianic image from the apocalyptic sections of the book of Daniel. Daniel (; Persian: دانيال, Dâniyal or Danial, also Dani, داني; Arabic: دانيال ^[2] Daniel 7:13-14 refers to a "human one" who will come on the clouds in "glory" and in "his kingdom" and be given dominion to establish the Kingdom of God on earth. This is presented as the eschaton and an end of the world:

As I watched in the night visions, I saw one like a human being coming with the clouds of heaven. Summary of Christian eschatological differencesIn Christian theology, Christian eschatology is the study of its religious Beliefs concerning all Future and End time, End times, or End of days are the eschatological writings in the three Abrahamic religions and in doomsday scenarios in various other And he came to the Ancient One and was presented before him. Ancient of Days is a name for God in Aramaic Atik Yomin; in the Greek Septuagint: Palaios Hemeron; and in the Vulgate: Antiquus To him was given dominion and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed.

– Daniel 7:13-14, NRSV

In the Gospel of John Jesus also employs the image of the Son of Man when talking about "the last day" John 6:39-54. The New Revised Standard Version ( NRSV) of the Bible, released in 1989, is a thorough revision of the Revised Standard Version (RSV The Gospel of John (literally According to John; Greek, Κατὰ Ἰωάννην Kata Iōannēn) is the fourth Gospel in the canon Here it is linked with "being raised up" – the resurrection of the dead. This article concerns itself with the belief in the final Resurrection at the End of time, commonly found in the Abrahamic religions. A theme reinforced in 11:24 where Martha describes Jesus' coming both in terms of resurrection and as an ongoing process, and in 14:3 where Jesus says "I will come again" so his disciples may live with him in his Father's house.

Timing

In the gospels Jesus often referred to the Kingdom of God being right "at hand"^[3] and "these things" – including the Son of Man's coming in his kingdom - occurring with immediacy to his listeners. The legends of Prester John (also Presbyter John) popular in Europe from the 12th through the 17th centuries told of a Christian Patriarch Wandering Jew is a figure from medieval Christian folklore whose legend began to spread in Europe in the thirteenth century and became a fixture of Christian mythology Preterism is a variant of Christian eschatology which holds that some or all of the biblical prophecies concerning the Last Days or End Times The term New Covenant (; Greek:, diathēkē kainē is used in the Bible (both in the Hebrew Bible and the Greek New Testament) to refer

Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom

– Matthew 16:28, Mark 9:1, Luke 9:27

Both Matthew and Luke also include the statement,

This generation (γενεά) will not pass away until all these things have taken place

– Matthew 24:34, Luke 21:32. ^[4]

The Greek-English Lexicon (Arndt and Gingrich) states that γενεά(genea) means “the sum total of those born at the same time, expanded to include all those living at a given time. Generation, contemporaries. ”^[5]Robinson's Greek & English Lexicon states that γενεά(genea) means: "The interval of time between father & son. . . from thirty to forty years those living in any one period; this present generation. "

According to Dr. William L. Lane, author of the 2 volume Hebrews commentary in the Word Biblical series and the Mark commentary in the New International Commentary series

The significance of the temporal reference has been debated, but in Mark ‘this generation’ clearly designates the contemporaries of Jesus (see on Mark 8:12, Mark 8:38, Mark 9:19) and there is no consideration from the context which lends support to any other proposal. Jesus solemnly affirms that the generation contemporary with his disciples will witness the fulfillment of his prophetic word, culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem and the dismantling of the Temple.

Some such as Jerome interpret the phrase "this generation" to mean lifetime or the Jewish race; however, if Jesus meant "race" he would have used genos(race) not genea(generation). Jerome (c 347 – September 30, 420) ( Latin: Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus; Εὐσέβιος Σωφρόνιος Ἱερώνυμος Others such as Hal Lindsey see it applying to a generation of future readers rather than the generation of people Jesus was addressing within the narrative. Harold Lee "Hal" Lindsey (born November 23 1929) is an American evangelist and Christian writer Origen and Chrysostom refer it to all Christian believers. Origen ( Greek: Ōrigénēs, or Origen Adamantius, ca 185–ca This article refers to the Christian saint For other uses of the name see Chrysostomos. ^[6]

Some Christian theologians (Preterists) see this "coming of the Son of Man in glory" primarily fulfilled in Jesus' death on the cross. Preterism is a variant of Christian eschatology which holds that some or all of the biblical prophecies concerning the Last Days or End Times During his ministry Jesus continually linked the Son of Man sayings with his own forthcoming suffering, death and resurrection, which can be understood symbolically as applying equally to the struggles of everyone - following "the way" demonstrated for others in his spiritual journey. Some theologians purport that some or all of the prophecies laid out in the Olivet discourse are then fulfilled within the narrative of Jesus' passion, for example:

1. The need for disciples to "keep alert and pray" and "stay awake" is demonstrated literally on the same mountain two nights later when Jesus interrupts his disciples' sleep to explicitly say "the hour has come". The Olivet discourse is a biblical passage found in the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew ( Mark ( and Luke ( This article describes the Christian Passion For other meanings see Passion. ^[7]
2. The time frame of significant hours as spelled out in the apocalypse "you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, at cockcrow or at dawn"Mark 13:35 is mimicked in the passion narrative "when it was evening Jesus came" (Mark 14:17), praying in the garden in the middle of the night, "at that moment the cock crowed for the second time" (Mark 14:72) and "As soon as it was morning the chief priests . . . bound Jesus and led him away"(Mark 15:1).
3. The apocalyptic signs are fulfilled including "the sun will be dark" (compare Mark 13:24 to Mark 15:33), the "powers . The phrase " Crucifixion eclipse " refers to a three-hour period of daytime darkness that was reported by the Synoptic gospels of the Christian Bible to have . . will be shaken" (compare Mark 13:25 to Mark 14:63 and Mark 15:5), and "then they will see" (compare Mark 13:26 to Mark 15:31 and Mark 15:39).

They further claim that such an interpretation highlights the Christian claim that the "glory" and "dominion" of God is best seen in the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus crucified. ^[8]

Eastern Orthodox Church theologians believe the Son of Man's glory is seen in the gift of the Holy Spirit to their church members and so does not refer to the second coming. The Eastern Orthodox Church is the second largest single Christian Communion in the world In mainstream Christianity, the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is one of the three entities of the Holy Trinity which make up the single substance They say this γενεά ("generation" or "age") is the current unrestored age, distinct from the age to come; the age of restoration. ^[9]

Other theologians point to other Biblical images that better match their idea of "coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory" (Matthew 24:30), such as the transfiguration witnessed by three of Jesus' disciples, which follows directly after the "there are some standing here. The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event reported by the Synoptic Gospels in which Jesus is transfigured upon a mountain (,) . . " verse in all three synoptic Gospels, or John of Patmos's heavenly visions described in the book of Revelation. John of Patmos is the name given to the author of the Book of Revelation (or Book of the Apocalypse) in the New Testament. Revelation is the act of revealing or disclosing (see etymology or in the theological perception making something obvious and clearly understood through active or passive communication

Others say they are unable to explain this verse in the light of what they see as a delay. C. S. Lewis called this "the most embarrassing verse in the Bible" ^[10]. Clive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963

According to historian Charles Freeman, Early Christians expected Jesus to return within a generation of his death. Early Christianity is commonly defined as the Christianity of the three centuries between the Crucifixion of Jesus ( c When the second coming did not occur, the early Christian communities were thrown into turmoil^[11]

Other Biblical images

In Acts 1:6-12 Jesus' Ascension is linked to him coming again:

So when the apostles had come together, they asked Jesus, ‘Lord, is this the time when you will restore the kingdom to Israel?’

He replied, ‘It is not for you to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. The general and most common understanding of the Christian Doctrine of Ascension holds that Jesus bodily ascended to Heaven in the presence But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. ’ When he had said this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.

While he was going and they were gazing up towards the sky, suddenly two men in white robes stood by them. They said, ‘Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up towards the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken away from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go to heaven. ’

Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away.

The apocalyptic book of Revelation includes images of the last judgment and the victory of the Kingdom of God, including the Messianic Age, and ends with the prayer: "Come, Lord Jesus" Revelation 22:20. The Book of Revelation, also called Revelation to John, Apocalypse of John ( pronounced, from the Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰωάννου In Christian eschatology, the Last Judgment or Day of the Lord is the judgment by God of every human who ever lived Messianic Age is a Theological term referring to a future time of Peace and brotherhood on the earth without Crime, War and Poverty See also Maranatha.

To other Christians these verses highlight aspects of the Eschaton that have not yet happened or not yet been fully realized. Summary of Christian eschatological differencesIn Christian theology, Christian eschatology is the study of its religious Beliefs concerning all Future and Drawing on the images from Acts, these Christians expect Jesus' coming to fulfill some or all of these criteria:

1. occur specifically at the Mount of Olives;
2. on a cloud; descending through the sky - or, conversely, while being "lifted up" while disciples are looking up to the sky. The Mount of Olives (also Mount Olivet, جبل الزيتون الطور Jebel az-Zeitun הר הזיתים Har HaZeitim; is a mountain ridge in east

They may also expect Jesus to come only as or after some or all of these aspects have been realised:

1. Jesus' disciples learn to stop confusing the Kingdom of God with a nationalistic campaign to "restore the kingdom to Israel";
2. Jesus' disciples stop trying to define God's Kingdom by chronologies of "times and periods";
3. "the Holy Spirit has come upon" Jesus' disciples and they "receive power"; and
4. people have witnessed Jesus "in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth".

Mainstream Christianity

The many denominations of Christianity have differing views on the exact details of Christ's second coming. Only a handful of Christian Organizations claim complete and authoritative interpretation of the typically symbolic and prophetic biblical sources. A common thread is the belief that Jesus will return to judge the world and to establish the Kingdom of God (fulfilling the rest of Messianic prophecy). In Christian eschatology, the Last Judgment or Day of the Lord is the judgment by God of every human who ever lived This article is about the concept of a Messiah in religion notably in the Christian Islamic and Jewish traditions A short reference to the Second Coming is contained in the Nicene Creed, a widespread Christian statement of faith: "He [Jesus] shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead; of His kingdom shall have no end". The Nicene Creed (ˈnaɪsiːn is an ecumenical Christian statement of faith accepted in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Assyrian Church of An analogous statement is also in the earlier Pauline Creed, 1 Cor 15:23.

Such information, however is not considered essential to receiving "salvation. In Theology, salvation can mean three related things being saved from or Liberation from something such as Suffering or the punishment of "

Non-Orthodox Esoteric or Gnostic tradition

In the Esoteric Christian tradition, claimed by its adherents to originate with the Essenes and later among the Rosicrucians, there is a distinction to be made between Jesus the man, and the Christ or true nature^[12]. Esoteric Christianity is a term which refers to an ensemble of spiritual currents which regard Christianity as a Mystery religion, and profess the existence The Essenes were strictly speaking a Jewish religious group that flourished from the 2nd century BC to the 1st century AD The term Rosicrucian (symbol the Rose Cross) describes a secret society of mystics allegedly formed in late mediaeval Germany, holding a doctrine "built on Jesus of Nazareth (7–2 BC / BCE —26–36 AD / CE) Christ is the English term for the Greek ( Khristós) meaning "the anointed " Jesus is considered a high Initiate of the human life wave (which evolves under the cycle of rebirth) and of a singularly pure type of mind, vastly superior to the great majority of the present humanity. He was educated during his youth among the Essenes and thus prepared himself for the greatest honor ever bestowed upon a human being: to deliver his pure, passionless, highly evolved physical body and vital body (already attuned to the high vibrations of the 'life spirit'), in the moment of the Baptism, to the Christ being for His ministry in the physical world. The etheric body, ether-body, æther body, a name given by Neo-Theosophy to a supposed vital body propounded in Esoteric philosophies In the Synoptic gospels, Jesus is baptised by John the Baptist. Christ is described as the highest Spiritual Being of the life wave called Archangels, and has completed His union ("the Son") with the second aspect of God. Archangels are superior or higher-ranking Angels Archangels are found in a number of religious traditions including Islam, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism The Rosicrucian Cosmo-Conception or Mystic Christianity is a Rosicrucian text written by Max Heindel (ISBN 0-911274-34-0 Western Wisdom Teachings

In this western tradition, there is a clear distinction between the Cosmic Christ, or Christ without, and the Christ Within: the Cosmic Christ, the 'Regent of the Earth' ^[13], aids each individual in the formation of the Christ Within, the Golden Wedding Garment (Matthew 22:2-11 KJV), also called "Soul body", the correct translation of Paul of Tarsus "soma psuchicon" (Greek "soma" [body] and "psuchicon" [psu(y)che – soul], "It is sown a soul body; it is raised a spiritual body .

According to this tradition, the Christ Within is regarded as the true Saviour who needs to be born within each individual (Galatians 4:19) in order to evolve toward the future Sixth Epoch in the Earth's etheric plane, that is, toward the "new heavens and a new earth" (2Pet 3:13, 2Pet 3:7): the New Galilee ^[14].

The Second Coming or Advent of the Christ is not in a physical body (1Cor 15:50, John 18:36), but in the new soul body of each individual in the etheric region of the planet (2Cor 5:1-3, Greek "politeuma" [commonwealth], "Our commonwealth is in heaven . The etheric plane (see also Etheric body) is a term introduced into Theosophy by Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant to represent one . .

The "day and hour" when this event shall be, as described in the Bible, is not in the human knowledge domain (Matthew 24:36, Matthew 24:23-27). Etymology According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, the word bible is from Latin biblia, traced from the same word through Medieval Latin and Late Latin The esoteric Christian tradition teaches that first there will be a preparatory period as the Sun enters Aquarius by precession: the coming Age of Aquarius.

Islam

Main article: Islamic view of Jesus

The mainstream Islamic view of the second coming maintains Jesus did not die (see Islamic view of Jesus' death) and was lifted up to Heaven by God, where he is waiting to descend^[15] during the “last days” when corruption and perversity are rife on Earth. Etymology The Anglicized name of Jesus is derived from the Latin Iēsus, which in turn comes from the Greek (Iēsoûs For other meanings including people named 'Islam' see Islam (disambiguation. See also Islamic views of Jesus, Death of Jesus The issue of Jesus' death is important to Muslims because Muslims believe in Jesus's return at the end Jesus, will return to wage a battle against the false Messiah (Dajjal, or Anti-Christ), break the cross, kill swine and call all humanity to Islam, as originally called upon by all the prophets including himself. Masih ad-Dajjal ( Arabic: الدّجّال literally "The Impostor" is an evil figure in Islamic eschatology.

The Dajjal will wage war with his army of corrupt followers and mischief-makers and those have fallen under his deception.

Hinduism

Hare Krsna movement has embraced Jesus Christ as an avatar or incarnation of God. Avatar or Avatara (अवतार IAST Avatāra) is often inaccurately translated into English as incarnation ^[16] Paramahansa Yogananda, the author of Autobiography of a Yogi, made an extensive commentary on the Christian Gospels published in a two-volume set as The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You. Paramahansa Yogananda ( Bengali: পরমহংস যোগানন্দ Pôromohôngsho Joganondo, Sanskrit: परमहंस योगानं‍द In 1946 Paramahansa Yogananda ( January 5, 1893 &ndash March 7, 1952) published his life story Autobiography of a Yogi As the title implies, the book offers a mystical interpretation of the Second Coming in which it is understood to be an inner experience, something that takes place within the individual heart.
