The coming King

Revelations 1:7

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and all nations shall see him.

Who is this King who will soon emerge from the temple in Heaven?

Revelations 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud on sat like unto the ____________ of ____________, having on his head a golden crown.

Psalm 50:3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep ___________: ...and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

NOTE: "Tempestuous" means "turbulant and stormy." The second coming of Jesus will clearly be noisy beyond description. There will be nothing secret about it!

     What other physical evidence will accompany Jesus' return?

Revelation 16:18 And there was a great ___________, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

     Who will see Jesus when He returns?

Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall __________ the __________ of the earth mourn, and they shall __________________ the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Revelations 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and __________ ____________ shall see him.

NOTE: This is too clear to misunderstand. Every person alive, wicked or righteous, will see Jesus return to earth. A secret gathering, or "rapture," of God's people is not described in the Bible.

     Who will be with Jesus when He returns in the clouds?

Matthew 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the __________ _________ with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory.

NOTE: The brightness of the Lord's return will, by comparison, make the brightness of a hydrogen bomb pale into insignificance. At Jesus' tomb, the brightness of one angel caused all the Roman guards to fall to the ground as dead men (Matthew 28:2-4). The brightness of all heaven's angels will make Jesus' second coming too bright for anyone to miss. Added to this will be the fantastic glory of Jesus and the Father (Luke 9:26). Jesus' second coming will be like lightning flashing from one horizon to the other (Matthew 24:27).

     What will the brightness of Jesus' coming do to the living wicked?

2 Thessalonians 1:7, 8 When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In __________    ____________ taking vengeance on them that know not God.

2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall ___________ with the brightness of his coming.

     What will happen to the righteous who are dead at Jesus' coming?

1 Thessalonians 4:16 The dead in Christ shall ____________ first.

     At this point, what will happen to the living and resurrected saints?

1 Corinthians 15:52, 53 The dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be ___________. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

NOTE: No one except God has immortality now (1 Timothy 6:15, 16). But it will be given as a free gift to the righteous at Jesus' second coming. Their bodies also will be changed into heavenly, incorruptible bodies, like that of Jesus (Philippians 3:20, 21).

     After being changed, what will happen to the righteous?

1 Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be ___________ __________ together with them [ the resurrected saints] in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.

NOTE: God saint will meet the Lord in the air. Jesus does not touch the earth at His second coming, so He will not appear on earth, as many believe His second coming will be a sky appearance, not an earth appearance.

     What solemn warning does Jesus give about His second coming?

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and ____________ __________.

Matthew 24:24, 26 For there shall arise ____________ ____________, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and ____________; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect ....If they shall say unto you, Behold, ...he is in the secret chambers; ___________ it __________.

NOTE: Satan will impersonate Christ's second coming by appearing upon the earth as a glorious being, and he will deceive billions. Jesus has warned us that He will not touch the earth at all at His second coming, but rather will remain in the air. Dazzling description of Satan will be so convincing that most people will be deceived.

     What will prevent the righteous from being deceived?

Isaiah 8:20 To the law and the testamony: if they speak not according to ____________ ______________, it is because there is no light in them.

NOTE: God's people will not be decieved, because they know from a study of God's Word just how Jesus will come (Acts 17:11). Any appearing that is not in agreement with Scripture is a counterfeit and must be rejected. Jesus forewarned us.

Matthew 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.

     Would it be safe to go see a false Christ?

Matthew 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; ____________ ___________ forth.

     What can we know about the time of Jesus return?

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth __________ _________ , no, not even the angels of heaven, but my father only.

Matthew 24: 33 When ye shall see all these things, know that it is ___________, even at the doors.

NOTE: Only God knows the exact time of the second coming. All date setting os out of harmont with the Bible. But Jesus made it clear that when we see the signs of His coming fulfilled (Matthew 24:4-51; Luke 21:8-33; and Timothy 3;1-8), we can know that His coming is very near-even at the door.

     What will the angels do at Jesus second coming?

Matthew 24:31 His angels... shall __________ together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

NOTE: Your guardian angel (Matthew 18:10) will probable be the first to greet you at Jesus' return. What a blessed thought! No wounder the Bible calls the second coming the "blessed hope" (Titus 2:13)!

     Since we are living just before Jesus' second, how should we relate to this solemn, glorious event?

Matthew 24:44 Therefore ___________ ye also ___________; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

     How will people be rewarded at Jesus' second coming?

Revelations 22:12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me , to give every man ____________ as his ____________ shall be.

NOTE: People will be saved by the grace but rewarded based on their conduct, not on their profession (Matthew 7:21-23).

     What will the wicked say when Jesus returns?

Revelation 6:15-17 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captians, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man.... said to the mountains and rocks, fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne ...:For the great day of His wrath is come; and _____________ ___________ be able to _______________.

NOTE: During this horrendous final earthquake, the wicked-petrified with fear-will prefer for the rocks and mountains to fall on them rather than to face King Jesus unprepared.

     What will the righteous say when Jesus appears?

Isaiah 25:9 Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and ____________ will ____________ us: ... we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

NOTE: Jesus' most thrilling purpose in returning to earth is to take His children to the glorious home He has prepared for them. No more tears, woes, heartaches, or illness forever. But rather, joy and peace unspeakable forever.
