Back to: The End Times
The Second Coming of Christ
“A New Beginning”
When our Lord Jesus came the first time, wonderful changes took place everywhere He went:
- The blind received sight
- The lame walked for the first time
- The deaf began to hear
- The hungry were fed
- The naked were clothed
- The lonely and troubled were comforted
- Those who were sad found joy once again
Like the first time He came, when He comes again, there will be wonderful changes taking place to a world that is in such desperate need.
In this study, we want to step into that future to see some of those wonderful changes, and what it will be like when the Lord Jesus returns.
New World Government
Can you imagine that we will have a King that will never make a wrong judgment?!! Every decision that He will make, and every law that He will enforce will be perfect to promote peace, safety, prosperity, and joy!
(Revelation 19:11-16), Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.…Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Righteous Government Officials
Those who have loved and served the Lord before His return, and those people who have proven themselves to be honest, wise, and trustworthy will become government officials.
(Matthew 25:21), His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.
(2 Timothy 2:12), If we suffer, we shall also reign with him
(Revelation 1:4-6), John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
The Capital
Jerusalem will be the new capital. Jerusalem today is such a troubled spot, but one day it will be the joy of the whole earth, because Jesus is there!
(Zechariah 8:3, 20-23), Thus says the Lord: ‘I will return to Zion, And dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, The Mountain of the Lord of hosts, The Holy Mountain.’…Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Peoples shall yet come, Inhabitants of many cities; The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, “Let us continue to go and pray before the Lord, And seek the Lord of hosts. I myself will go also.” Yes, many peoples and strong nations Shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, And to pray before the Lord.’ “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.
Enforcement of Law
The Lord will rule with a rod of iron against all offenders. There is going to be such a wonderful freedom from fear and worry of being harmed in any way. No more locked doors or windows, or fear of getting robbed. No more worrying about our children being kidnapped or harmed. No more harm done to people because of alcohol and drugs. Those who try to do any wrong will be dealt with immediately before they hurt others.
(Revelation 19:15), Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.
The Devil is Bound
The Devil will get what he deserves. This will be a wonderful change!! The Devil has been such a strong influence in making life here on this planet terrible and harmful. The Lord Jesus will take him away along with all of his evil effect!
(Revelation 20:1-3), Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while.
Abundance of Peace
The Prince of Peace of (Isaiah 9:6) will establish world peace. There will be no more war! Even the animal kingdom will be at peace and rest.
(Isaiah 2:4, 11:6-9), He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore…. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the sea.
New Atmospheric Conditions
The moon will be as bright as the sun is today, and the sun will be seven times stronger!
(Isaiah 30:26), Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun will be sevenfold, As the light of seven days
Nature Will Be Renewed and Changed
Waters will be healed and have great abundance of marine life.
(Ezekiel 47:6-12), And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes. It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many
The earth will yield great bounties of harvest.
(Amos 9:13-15), Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it. I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them
All of Creation Rejoices
There will be rejoicing, singing, prosperity, healing, gladness, and joy.
(Isaiah 35:1-10), The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, Even with joy and singing… They shall see the glory of the Lord, The excellency of our God. Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you.” Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert. The parched ground shall become a pool, And the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes. A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others… No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there, And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

- For those that morn, it will be a time of comfort (vs. 4)

It Will Be a Time of Holiness
(Isaiah 35:8), A highway shall be there, and a road, And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray.
(Zechariah 14:16-21kjv), And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles…. In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD
The Lord will cause such wonderful and much needed changes when He returns!
THE WORLD WILL BE PARADISE ONCE AGAIN!!!
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20)
