THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST (1)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. The Second Coming Of Christ

At the end of the Great Tribulation the Antichrist will gather all of his armies from all over the earth to go and attack Jerusalem. (Zechariah 14:1-2) They will begin slaughtering the Jews without mercy. This will be the Jews’ greatest hour of need in their entire history. In his bitterness and anger the Antichrist intends their complete destruction.

b) But then Jesus and the saints will descend from heaven to save them! “Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which faces Jerusalem on the east.” (Zechariah 14:3-4: Revelation 19:11-16)

c) Then all of the wicked soldiers of the Antichrist will be consumed in a plague! They will dissolve completely away (Zechariah 14:12). God’s judgment over the beast and the Antichrist will not be light. You can imagine His righteous fury over the ones who have tried to hurt and destroy and corrupt His beloved creation right from the beginning. Both the beast and the Antichrist will be thrown into the lake of fire to burn for all eternity (Revelation 19:20-21) and Satan will be bound in the bottomless pit for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:1-3)

d) Christ will set foot on the Mount of Olives, which will split in two to create a valley. Living waters will begin to flow out from the Jerusalem. This signifies the start of the glorious new time of peace and plenty known as the Millennium! The lands South of Jerusalem will be turned into a plain and Jerusalem itself will be raised up (Zechariah 14:4-11). Jerusalem then becomes the capital city of the world, from which Christ will rule over the whole earth. (Isaiah 2:2-4, Micah 4:1-3)
