The complete KJV guide to the second coming of Christ
What the Bible says about the second coming
The return of Christ is one of the most repeated promises in the New Testament. The angels tell the watching disciples that 'this same Jesus… shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven' (Acts 1:11). Paul describes a shout, a trumpet and a resurrection (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). Revelation closes with 'Surely I come quickly.' The KJV presents it as personal, visible and certain.
No one knows the day
Matthew 24:36 is unambiguous: of that day and hour knoweth no man, not the angels, but the Father only. Jesus compares the timing to a thief in the night and to the days of Noah. Every date-setting scheme in church history has failed against this verse. Scripture directs attention to readiness rather than calculation.
How the promise is meant to be used
The New Testament almost never leaves this doctrine as speculation. It attaches practical commands: watch, be ready, occupy till I come, comfort one another with these words, and purify yourself because 'we shall be like him' (1 John 3:2-3). The parable of the ten virgins is about preparation, and the talents about faithful work in the interval.
How to use this page
Read 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and note the closing instruction to comfort one another. Read Matthew 24:36-44 and let it settle any date-setting curiosity. Ask what you would want to be doing if He returned this year, and start. Then follow the related links to heaven, eternal life, hope, and watchfulness.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
— John 3:16 (KJV)
This verse reveals God's heart concerning second coming. As you meditate on these words today, let them reshape your understanding of what it means to walk in second coming before the Lord.
