The Day of The Lord: God Promises the Second Coming of Jesus. The second coming of Jesus will come as a thief in the night. All of those who have rejected Him will die. He will also raise Lazarus from the dead. He will split the Mount of Olives in two. If you want to be ready for His second coming, read on! Here are some of the specific details of the second coming of Jesus:
Jesus Will Return Like A Thief in the Night
1 Thessalonians 5:2 ESV For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
The prophecy about Jesus coming back like a thief in the night is true, and this will happen when he returns in the form of a thief. If you have ever wondered how he will come, the answer is simple – he will return like a thief. So, keep a close watch on the time and be ready to meet him when he does come!
Be watchful for the timing of Jesus’ return
Matthew 24:42 Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
We know the Lord’s coming, but how can we be ready for His return? Paul tells us that we should “watch” for his return. He doesn’t say when He will return, but he says it will happen soon. The early church, as well as Jesus, anticipated his return and admonished believers to be ready. Preparation for the Lord’s return includes purification from sin and daily obedience to Christ.
Matthew 24:42 warns us to “be watchful for the coming of the Lord.” We are to keep our eyes wide open and live a sanctified life. In Matthew 24:42, we are told that the just will live by faith in Jesus Christ. True believers look forward to the return of the Bridegroom, who is a powerful King. This coming of Christ is our only hope.
The apostolic Church saw the parable of the doorkeeper as one of the most important teachings of Jesus. It occurs in all Synoptic Gospels and was considered a primary exhortation. Although the parable is similar to the parable of the talents, the ten virgins emphasize the suddenness and unpredictability of Christ’s return. This is a powerful reminder for us to be on our guard, and watch the timing of the Lord’s coming.
Whether or not Jesus’ return is imminent or not, the timing is uncertain. Jesus told his disciples that the timing of His coming is unknowable, so we must be ready. He will return at a time when no one is expecting him. It’s better to prepare for it than to try to figure it out. But in the meantime, we should be waiting patiently for his return. We must be ready for his return because our faith is at stake.
The Day of the Lord is a metaphor for his return. The OT vocabulary for the Day of the Lord includes Isaiah 13:6-9, Jeremiah 46:10, Ezekiel 30:3, and Joel 2:31. Likewise, the Day of the Lord is often associated with the Second Coming of Christ.
Be alert for signs of his coming
Luke 21:25 ESV And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves
When it comes to preparing for the Day of the Lord you must know the signs that He will make before He returns. Those signs are the sun, moon, and stars. They will be seen just before the end of the world’s troubles and the coming of the Son of Man in a cloud. However, it is important to recognize that these signs are not happening just yet. Jesus has already warned His followers to be on the lookout for these signs.
There are many signs to look out for. The first of these signs is the appearance of a transfigured Jesus before His disciples. This sign is not yet in existence today, but it was seen by those three disciples at His Second Coming. These three disciples, as well as other followers of Jesus, knew He was the Son of God when He appeared in the sky. Those disciples saw Jesus’ appearance in a transfigured form before His Second Coming, and they knew that this was a sign of His impending return.
The second sign is the appearance of the end-time Elijah, who will preach the true gospel to all nations. And finally, the fourth sign is the sudden appearance of weapons of mass destruction. These signs of Christ’s coming are all God’s inspired signs that have been preserved for 2,000 years. You need to watch out for these four signs. Just like the lightning that strikes you with great power, there will be people claiming that Jesus is already here.
When you watch for the signs of Jesus’ coming, you will feel His nearness. It is important to know when He is coming back to earth so that you can be ready for Him. Jesus warns His disciples not to be deceived by others. In fact, He tells them to run for the hills if Jerusalem is attacked. And when you see them, you can take refuge in the mountains! Just like the signs of His coming, Jesus will return to earth with power and glory, so you have to be on your guard.
Be prepared for his coming
Revelation 1:7 ESV Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.
The key to being prepared for Jesus’ coming is living like his first coming matters. He will come at an unexpected time and we must prepare ourselves for that moment. If you aren’t prepared, he might come and rob you blind. Therefore, if you want to be ready, live as if Jesus’ first coming did matter. Here are some ways to prepare for his coming.
The word “coming” is used in various places in the Bible. In 1 Thessalonians 5, the Lord will return like a thief in the night. This image is used to emphasize how Jesus’ return will disorient those who are not prepared to meet Him. It is also important to be prepared for the vengeance and war that will take place at His coming.
Remember that the master of the house would never let his house be broken into. If he were a thief, he would stay awake and be ready for his arrival. Remember that Jesus’ coming will come when you least expect it. If you aren’t prepared for him coming, you might be a victim! Remember that Jesus is coming to take what belongs to him.
The first-century Christians should have been aware that Jesus’ return would be sudden and unexpected. The apostle Paul says that nobody knows when the Day of the Lord will come. He didn’t write about the precise date, but he did make it clear that the day will happen at a time no one can predict. He says that we should prepare ourselves by putting ourselves in the best position possible to be ready.
Be awake for his coming
The warning of Jesus to “be awake for his coming” is a reminder to never fall asleep in spiritual matters. Jesus’ coming will come suddenly and without warning, so you must stay on your toes. In Revelation 16:15, Jesus repeats this same warning. The disciples must be alert to prepare for His coming. In the meantime, they must be prepared to meet Him at the right time and place. Hopefully, these warnings will provide some insight into how to be ready for his return.
