Course Description

Are we living in the last days? Will there be a rapture or not? Which millennial view to believe? What did Jesus say about His return? Master the bible passages that teach the second coming of Jesus Christ to find answers to these questions. Be a confident Christian to receive the King and prepare others to meet Jesus. Start your journey of learning now.

The study of the second coming of Jesus is a fascinating subject and is one of the controversial doctrine among Christians. Christians take position in a wide spectrum of views about the time and nature of the second coming of Jesus. Many hold strong convictions based on the view they hold, without really knowing what the other views teach about the Second Coming of Jesus. Many others are confused about which view to believe in.

The core message of the New Testament, while teaching the Second Coming of Jesus, is to prepare believers for the return of Jesus. Contrary to this focus, many are preoccupied with the controversy, rather than preparing themselves to receive Jesus.

If you are interested in learning what the Bible teaches about the second coming of Jesus and interested in preparing yourself for the coming of Jesus, taking this course will be an invaluable investment of your time.

What You will Gain:
• Get excited to receive Jesus when He returns.
• Personalize the purposes of the first and second coming of Jesus in your life.
• Base your convictions with clarity by using key principles of interpretation to understand crucial Bible passages about the second coming of Jesus.
• Critically analyze and examine the differing views to ground your beliefs in the teachings of the Bible.
