The Second Advent of Jesus (Esch 207)

When this is finished, then Jesus will return.


"For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet" (1 Corinthians 15:25).


The return of Jesus marks the end of history.


"But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power" (1 Corinthians 15:23-24).


Here’s a summary of the major events in the Kingdom of God:


1) The first coming of Jesus Christ (death, resurrection, ascension, Pentecost).

2) The growth of the Kingdom of God and subduing of enemies.

3) The second coming of Jesus Christ.

4) Jesus delivers the Kingdom to God the Father.


We live in the time between the two advents of Jesus Christ. Until his second coming, Jesus Christ is ruling and reigning through the church.
