“…Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:11)
We can no more deny the fact of the second coming of Jesus than we can deny His first coming. Jesus said, “I will come again.” (John 14:3) Paul the apostle wrote, “For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout…” (I Thessalonians 4:16:16)
It is not to be confused with the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, nor is it to be misunderstood as death nor is it the same as being saved. Over three hundred times in the New Testament our Lord’s return is mentioned. Someone has said there are more prophecies in the Old Testament concerning His second coming than there are of His first coming.
The fact is, Jesus Himself shall return. It behooves the lost person to repent, believe on the Lord Jesus, and be saved just as it behooves the saved person to be serving Him faithfully until He returns unexpectedly. "You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” (Luke 12:40 ESV)
