Signs of Christ's Return

1 sermons

The biblical topic of "Signs of Christ's Return" refers to the prophesied events and circumstances that will precede the second coming of Jesus Christ, as foretold in the Bible. According to Matthew 24:4-14, Jesus himself warned of false messiahs, wars, and natural disasters that will occur before his return, while Luke 21:25-28 adds that there will be signs in the heavens and on earth, such as celestial disturbances and roaring seas. As Christians await Christ's return, they are encouraged to remain vigilant and prepared, as instructed in 1 Thessalonians 5:2-6, which reminds believers that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, and only those who are prepared will be saved. The anticipation of Christ's return is a central aspect of Christian eschatology, and is rooted in the promise of Jesus' words in John 14:3, where he assures his disciples that he will come again to take them to be with him.

“But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life--and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth.”

Matthew 24:37

“As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. And they were oblivious, until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.”

Luke 17:26

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man: People were eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. It was the same in the days of Lot: People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just like that on the day the Son of Man is revealed.”

Revelation 18:7

“As much as she has glorified herself and lived in luxury, give her the same measure of torment and grief. In her heart she says, 'I sit as queen; I am not a widow and will never see grief.' Therefore her plagues will come in one day-- death and grief and famine-- and she will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her."”

2 Thessalonians 1:9
