When thinking about the second coming, Alistair Begg teaches, we need to start with what God has made plain, not what He has hidden. The Gospel is clear: Jesus died, rose again, and is coming back. In light of this rock-solid foundation, we can take heart. Even if we don’t know every little detail of the second coming, we can rest in what we do know: that He will return for us.
13But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,4 that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18Therefore encourage one another with these words.
