9. How can we know for sure that Jesus is coming again?

As in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream the successive kingdoms passed in exact prophetic fulfillment given years before, so the last element of the prophecy will come to pass. We can be confident that the great stone cut without hands, representing God’s kingdom that succeeds all others and lasts forever, is about to shatter all earthly empires. God’s promises will not fail! The same God who delivered His people from Egypt will again deliver His people and demonstrate His power.JTL6 6.1

The first Advent guarantees the second advent! Because Jesus came the first time and won a decisive victory over sin and Satan at the cross, we can know that He will come again to end Satan’s dominion and restore the Earth to its original perfection. Most biblical thanksgivings end with a reference to the second advent. Thus, the hope of Jesus’ Second Coming lay at the very heart of faith and worship in the apostolic church—and so can it also be for us!JTL6 6.2
