The Return

Introduction by Richard Walker:

There are several expressions in the New Testament that describe the return of Jesus. The purpose of this study is to highlight these expressions and to show that they refer to the same event. The book of Hebrews says, “He (Jesus) will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him” (Hebrews 9:28). Jesus appeared the first time when He was on earth. When He returns it will be His second appearance.

These different expressions do not indicate that the Lord will return in different ways or at different times. Rather, each of them describes a different aspect of Jesus’ return.
