The Second Coming is the Day of the Lord
In God’s Word, the description of Christ’s Second Coming covers over 1,800 verses and employs several key Biblical terms. But the most crucial of all those terms is the one known as the Day of the Lord.
We are examining the Day of the Lord in two parts. Last time we looked at the Lord, the One whose Day it is. We saw that He is coming in the person of God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. In Hebrews 1:1-3 we saw that the:
Ruler of Everything is coming, as described by those words at the end of v. 3: Jesus Christ “sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high”.
Jesus is seated in Heaven right now, at the Right Hand of God the Father, interceding for us His Church. Our Savior Himself is going to stand up, empty Heaven of every angel and every saint, and come back to finish the plan of God. One way to express this event is to merge the two key descriptions and call this event:
The Day of the Lord’s Second Coming
When the Inheritor of Everything, the Creator of Everything, the Radiator of God’s Glory, Character of God, and the Sustainer of Everything, the Purifier of Sins, returns as the Ruler of Everything: the Universe begins to convulse.
