Come, Lord Jesus Gumban, Johnny V. Christians of all time and place have always shared in common their joyful faith and hope in the second coming of their Lord. This is the PAROUSIA (second coming) which will be the end of time and the fulfillment of everything that God has promised to all those who believed in Him. This event is described in the apocalyptic writings in the Scripture, such as Daniel, Matthew 24-25, 2 Thessalonians and Revelation. The apocalypse, which means revelation, deals with events which God will bring to pass, revealed through visions of believers inspired by the spirit of God in order to exhort Christians to remain true to their faith until the final consummation - “He who endures to the end will be saved” (Matt. 24:13-41).

Resurrection and rapture Diel, Domingo J. Jr. By the nature of the subject being discussed in this symposium, divided in three related topics, repetitions at some points cannot be avoided. In fact, the next two topics — mine and Dr. Gumban’s “Judgment and Tribulation” — are related to, if not essentially components of, the topic 'The Second Coming of Jesus Christ" presented by Dr. N.M. Fabula. One cannot fully discuss the doctrine of the Second Coming without discussing at the same time the themes of resurrection and judgment. The two other words which also appear in today’s topics - rapture and tribulation - because of the connotations they carry, seem to get more attention and importance among us these days than the main subjects of the Second Coming, Resurrection and Judgment.

The biblical basis of the second coming of Jesus Christ Fabula, Nathaniel M. The biblical teaching on the Second Coming of Christ is not being emphasized in many churches today. It may be that many Christians do not entertain the idea that the Lord is coming in our generation because of historical reasons. Past expectations of His coming since the early church failed and caused frustrations to many. Moreover, people in this age have become so pleasure-oriented and materialistic that thoughts of the Kingdom of God are often neglected. We do not watch eagerly for the Lord’s return and are prone to think of the “meeting in the air” as a far-off event. We don’t like either the thought of having our plans suddenly interrupted by the Lord’s return. Such attitudes, however, would not change the absolute certainty of God’s accomplishing His divine will and plan for man and the world. Human history has its beginning and its end. It is not a haphazard conglomeration of chance events which are going nowhere. The whole creation moves towards its consummation. His coming again is sure; “for what the Bible predicts and Christ promises, God will perform.” Conference paper
