The who, what, when, where, why and how of Christ's return.
Who: Jesus Christ, who came the first time to pay the penalty for our sins to become our Savior, returns to put an end to sin as our King (RevelationThe disclosure of God's Word and plan to mankind. In the Bible this refers to making obscure things clear; bringing hidden matters to light; causing especially called individuals to see, hear, perceive, know and understand the things of God; the unveiling of biblical mysteries (Romans 16:25). 11:15)!
What: Christ puts an end to human misrule and sets up the long-promised Kingdom of God (Daniel 2:44).
When: In the nick of time before humanity destroys itself (Matthew 24:22). Christ gave signs to identify the end time, but did not reveal the ";day and hour" (Matthew 24:36).
Where: Starting with Jerusalem, this Kingdom will spread over the whole earth (Zechariah 14:3-4; Acts 1:11-12; Matthew 5:5; RevelationThe disclosure of God's Word and plan to mankind. In the Bible this refers to making obscure things clear; bringing hidden matters to light; causing especially called individuals to see, hear, perceive, know and understand the things of God; the unveiling of biblical mysteries (Romans 16:25). 5:10; Daniel 2:35).
Why: Christ returns because it is part of God's plan to show love for everyone, to bring many children to glory (John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:9; Hebrews 2:10).
How: God's laws—the way He designed the universe to work—will be taught, and obedience to them will bring real peace and prosperity. But most of all, following these holy laws will bring humanity into a loving family relationship with God and with each other (Isaiah 2:2-4). WNP
