A segunda vinda de Cristo

Por Bíblia Online –

A segunda vinda de Cristo é a esperança suprema da Igreja. Jesus prometeu que voltará com poder e grande glória para julgar os vivos e os mortos e estabelecer seu Reino eterno.

A promessa do retorno

Jesus prometeu voltar. Os anjos declararam que Ele virá da mesma forma como ascendeu. A Igreja aguarda esse dia glorioso com expectativa.

11 and they said. "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into the sky will come back in just the same way as you have seen him going into the sky."

10 While they were gazing into the sky as he was going up, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,11 and they said. "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into the sky will come back in just the same way as you have seen him going into the sky."

1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. You trust in God, trust in me also.2 In my Fathers house there are many rooms If it were not so, would I have told you that I went to prepare a place for you?3 I will return and will take you to be with me, so that where I am you may be also.

20 He who testifies this says, "Yea, I am coming quickly." Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

20 He who testifies this says, "Yea, I am coming quickly." Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, To give to each man what his actions merit.

Os sinais dos tempos

Jesus descreveu os sinais que precederão sua volta: falsos profetas, guerras, fome, terremotos e tribulação. Devemos discernir os tempos sem nos alarmar.

3 When he had seated himself on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?"4 "Take care," Jesus answered, "that no one mislead you;5 "for many will come in my name saying, I am the Christ, and will mislead many.6 "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see to it that you are not afraid. Such things must happen, but the end is not yet.

9 "Then they will deliver you up to suffer affliction, and will put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my names sake.10 "And then many will stumble and fall, and will betray one another, and hate one another.11 "Many false prophets will rise up and mislead many;

12 "and because of the increase of iniquity the love of the majority will grow cold;13 "but he who endures to the end will be saved.

14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the whole inhabited earth, for a testimony to the Gentiles, and then will come the end.

21 "for then shall be a time of great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never shall be again.22 "And if these days had not been shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elects sake these days will be cut short.

23 "If at that time any one should say to you, See, here is the Christ! or There he is! believe him not.24 "For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will work great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if it were possible, the very elect.25 "See, I have forewarned you! So if they say to you,

23 "If at that time any one should say to you, See, here is the Christ! or There he is! believe him not.24 "For false christs and false prophets will arise, and will work great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if it were possible, the very elect.25 "See, I have forewarned you! So if they say to you,26 "See, He is in the desert, do not go out there. "See, He is in the inner room, do not believe it.

15 "Beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheeps clothing, but within they are ravening wolves.

8 For nation shall rise in arms against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines; these are the beginning of birth-pangs.

9 "You yourselves must be on your guard. They will hand you over to the courts, and you will be flogged on the synagogues; and you will stand before rulers and kings for my sake, to witness to them for me.10 But the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations.

12 "And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents, and have them put to death.13 You will be hated by all men for my names sake, but he that endures to the end shall be saved.

11 "and there shall be great earthquakes, and, in many places, famines and pestilences; and there shall be terror and great portents from heaven.

A vinda gloriosa

Cristo virá nas nuvens com poder e grande glória, enviará seus anjos e reunirá seus escolhidos dos quatro ventos.

29 "But immediately after the tribulation of those days, "The sun will be darkened, The moon will not shed her light, The stars will fall from the sky, And the powers of the heavens will be shaken.30 "Then the signs of the Son of man will appear in the sky; and then all the tribes of the earth will lament, when they see the Son of man coming upon the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.31 "And he will send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather his elect together from the four winds, from utmost heaven to utmost earth.

32 "Learn from the fig tree, her parable; when her branches are become soft, and put forth leaves, you know that summer is near;33 "so you also, when you see these signs, know that He is near, at the very doors.

27 For the Son of man is about to come in the glory of his Father, and his angels with him, and then will he reward each one in accordance with his actions.

25 "And there will be signs in the sun and the moon and the stars; and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roar of the sea and the billows;26 "men lifeless through fear, and foreboding of that which is about to come upon the habitable earth. For the powers of the heavens shall be shaken,27 "and then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.28 "But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, lift your heads! for your redemption is drawing near."

27 "and then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud, with power and great glory.

26 Then will they see the Son of man coming in clouds, with great power and glory.27 Then he will send forth the angels and gather his chosen from the four winds, from uttermost earth to uttermost sky.

16 For the Lord himself with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God will descend from heaven. Then the dead in Christ will rise first.17 And afterwards we who are alive, who remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.18 So comfort one another with these words.

Vigilância e preparo

Ninguém sabe o dia nem a hora. Jesus nos ordena a vigiar, orar e estar prontos, pois Ele virá quando menos esperamos.

42 "Keep guard then, for you do not know the day on which your Master is coming.

42 "Keep guard then, for you do not know the day on which your Master is coming.

44 "Therefore you also must be ready, for in an hour when you do not expect him, the Son of man is coming.

34 "But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be surcharged with self-indulgence and drunkenness and worldly cares, and that day catches you suddenly like a trap.35 "For it will come upon all the dwellers on the face of the earth.36 "So be on your guard at all times, praying that you may be worthy to escape these things that shall come to pass, and to take your stand in the presence of the Son of man."

7 But the end of all things is close at hand; so be sober, watch and pray.

23 May the God of peace consecrate you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept altogether faultless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 so that you lack no divine gift, while you are waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ.8 He will also keep you perfectly stedfast unto the end, so that you will be unreprovable in the Day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

A esperança bendita

A aguardamos a bendita esperança e a manifestação da glória do nosso grande Deus e Salvador Jesus Cristo.

11 "For Gods grace has shined forth bringing salvation to all men12 And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;13 While we look for the blessed hope and epiphany of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ.14 He gave himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity, and to purify unto himself a people zealous of good works."

6 Of this I am fully persuaded, that He who has begun a good work in you will go on completing it until the day of Jesus Christ.

30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed for the day of redemption.

28 so also the Christ, after being once for all offered to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without sin, to those who wait for him for salvation.

24 and let us consider one another, to provoke unto love and good works;25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the custom of some, but exhorting one another; all the more as you behold the Day drawing near.

8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

11 I am coming quickly. Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.

8 Do not forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

28 And now continue to abide in him, my children, so that when he shall appear we may have cheerful confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
