What is the Second Coming?
In the context of our faith, consummation represents the culmination of God's redemptive work through Jesus Christ, bringing to fulfill His promises and establishing His eternal kingdom. it is rooted deeply in God's promises of the following:
1. CREATION - God's creation was originally flawless, crafted perfectly for harmony and connection with Him. However, this divine perfection was disrupted because of sin. See Genesis 1-3
2. COVENANTS - The covenants made by God with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David demonstrate His unwavering commitment in restoring what was once lost. Each covenant foreshadows a greater fulfillment in Christ. See Genesis 4 - 50; 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel; Book of Psalms
3. CHRIST'S FIRST COMING - The birth, ministry, crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ were transformative events in history. Jesus initiated the kingdom of God offering redemption and salvation to all mankind. See the four gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
4. THE RETURN OF CHRIST - The fulfillment of God's plan will manifest with the return of Jesus Christ. This coming event is the hope we eagerly await. See the Book of Revelation

1. New heaven and new earth - Revelation 21:1
2. The marriage supper of the Lamb - Revelation 19:7-9
3. The final judgment - Matthew 25: 31-46
4. Fulfillment of god's kingdom - Philippians 2:10-11
