Overview
Jesus explicitly promised His disciples that He would return to complete God's redemptive work. This return is physical, visible, and will occur at a time known only to the Father. All believers await this blessed hope as the culmination of human history and God's plan of salvation.

"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first" (1 Thessalonians 4:16, NIV).
