The Coming of the Son of Man

Introduction

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is one of the most important and significant doctrine The Holy Bible. Its importance can be judged by the times mentioned in the Bible, which are almost over three hundred different prophecies relating to God's word. The future's door unlocked by this key, leads towards the brighter and surer way. If a Christian does not have faith in Jesus Christ's Second Coming, his faith cannot be said, to be well-rounded. All the roads of history and prophecy come together at this point. (See Appendix)
