Overview
Jesus explicitly promised His disciples that He would return (John 14:3). This return will be visible, sudden, and accompanied by divine judgment of all humanity. The Second Coming completes God's redemptive work begun at the cross and marks the transition from the present age to eternity.
Key Scriptures

"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first" (1 Thessalonians 4:16, NASB).
"Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him" (Revelation 1:7, NASB).
