The Second Coming of Christ
We believe in the personal, visible, and future return of Christ to the earth (Phil. 3:20-21
; Titus 2:11-13
; I John 3:2-3
); and that the world will not be converted during the present time period, (II Tim 3:1-13
; 4:1-5), but is ripening for judgment until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled (Luke 21:24
; II Thess. 1:7-9
), which will climax in the apostasy of professing Christendom (II Thess. 2:3
; Rev. 17
).
