The Rapture and the Second Coming Explained

Send us Fan MailScholars and theologians estimate there are over one thousand eight hundred direct and indirect Bible references proclaiming the Messiah's return and reign.Most Bible scholars agree there are over three hundred prophecies in the Old Testament pointing to the first coming of the Messiah: fulfilled by Jesus Christ two millennia ago.Out of those, around sixty to seventy are major, clearly messianic prophecies that were directly fulfilled in the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.There’s a minimum of six, and upwards of thirty times more prophesies referencing Jesus’ second coming than His first coming. Jesus’ return will be the most spectacular event in the history of the world.However, there are only about ten passages that speak to the Rapture of the Church. It’s easy to see how they could get lost in the one thousand eight hundred passages referencing Jesus’ second coming. Many Christians struggle with this. Some mix the passages concluding that the Rapture and the second coming are the same event. Others understand that the Rapture and second coming are different events but still misapply scriptures about the second coming to the Rapture. Here are ten prophesies Jesus will fulfill at His second coming, at the end of the 7-year Tribulation— clearly distinguishing Jesus’ second coming from the Rapture.Support the showBreadofLife.media
