A frightened man hides behind a rock as Jesus returns in glory, symbolizing the fear of the unprepared at the Second Coming.

Bible background: The Second Coming of Jesus

Jesus promised, “I will come again, and receive you unto myself.” As He ascended, the angels told the disciples He would return “in like manner.” Scripture describes His coming as literal, visible and glorious: He comes in the clouds with power and great glory, and every eye shall see Him.

At His return the dead in Christ rise first, the living saints are caught up together with them, and God's people are gathered home. It is the blessed hope of every believer, the day when God wipes away all tears and there is no more death, sorrow or pain.
