The booklet begins with Jesus’ promise in John 14:3: “I will come again, and receive you unto myself.” This isn’t just a comfort for His disciples, but a profound assurance to all believers throughout time. The central focus of the booklet is to explore the questions: Why will Christ return? How will He return? and What will happen when He returns? It argues that many people misunderstand these questions due to doctrinal traditions, misinterpretations, and centuries of religious confusion. The authors aim to bring clarity using Scripture to explain the purpose, manner, and timing of Christ’s return.
The return of Christ is not a symbolic gesture, but an essential next step in God’s divine plan of salvation. His first advent was for redemption — to offer His life as a ransom for humanity’s sins — while His second advent is for restoration: to heal, bless, and resurrect all of humanity. His return is necessary to fulfill the biblical promises of raising the dead, judging nations in righteousness, ending sin and suffering, and bringing about everlasting peace. Christ's presence is the foundation of the believer's hope and the fulfillment of God's covenant to bless all the families of the earth.
The booklet strongly argues that Christ’s return will not be in physical form. After His resurrection, Jesus was no longer a human being, but a divine spirit being. As such, He cannot be seen with human eyes unless He chooses to manifest Himself in a form comprehensible to mortals. His return, then, is spiritual and invisible, not visible and dramatic as is commonly portrayed.
The Greek word parousia, often translated “coming,” actually means “presence.” Thus, many references in the Bible to Christ’s return actually describe a prolonged invisible presence rather than a singular, dramatic event. For instance, Matthew 24:3 and 2 Thessalonians 2:8 refer to Christ’s presence during a time of global trouble and spiritual judgment. The idea is not of a sudden appearance in the sky but of a spiritual influence unfolding over time, initiating the process of transformation on earth.
Christ’s second presence begins in a period described in Scripture as a time of great trouble. This upheaval is symbolic, represented in Scripture by prophecies of melting mountains, falling stars, and the shaking of heavens — all imagery used to signify the collapse of political, religious, and societal structures under Satan’s influence. Rather than physical destruction, this "time of trouble" marks the dismantling of corrupt systems to make way for God’s kingdom.
During this presence, the resurrection of the dead takes place. The "first resurrection" includes faithful followers of Christ who are raised to heavenly, immortal life to reign with Him. The general resurrection follows, in which the rest of humanity is raised and educated under righteous conditions. The Day of Judgment, far from being a time of doom, is presented as a thousand-year period of education, rehabilitation, and restoration, during which every person has the opportunity to choose righteousness and eternal life.
The purpose of Christ’s kingdom is to restore the world to its original, perfect condition — as foretold in many Old Testament prophecies. It will be a real government on earth, not a mystical experience or an escape to heaven. In this kingdom, nations will willingly disarm and convert weapons into tools for productivity, as seen in the prophecy of turning swords into plowshares. War will cease entirely, and people will no longer live in fear. Everyone will be taught God’s law, and justice, peace, and truth will flourish under the direction of Christ’s rule.
The church, also referred to as the “bride of Christ” or “little flock,” plays a critical role in Christ’s second advent. These are individuals who, during the current troubled age, have proven their faithfulness through trials and tests. They will receive the reward of immortality and will reign with Christ during the thousand years of His kingdom. This is not for privilege or power, but for service — to help uplift, teach, and bless the rest of mankind. Revelation 20:6 declares that those in the first resurrection will serve as priests and kings, guiding humanity during its period of restoration.
Christ’s presence initiates the "times of restitution of all things" mentioned in Acts 3:20–21. This means a complete restoration — not just spiritual or symbolic, but real and tangible — of everything lost through sin. The damage caused by Adam’s fall will be reversed. Health, relationships, joy, and knowledge will be restored. Even the dead who lived in ignorance or rebellion will be resurrected and educated under righteous conditions. Only those who willfully and persistently reject divine guidance will face the second death — a permanent and merciful end, not eternal torment.
Rather than pinpointing an exact date, the booklet argues that the Second Presence of Christ is already underway. It interprets current world events — wars, instability, moral decay, and widespread discontent — as fulfillment of the prophetic signs Jesus described in Matthew 24, Luke 21, and other passages. These signs mark the end of the current “present evil world” and the gradual dawning of God’s righteous kingdom. Christ is not coming to destroy the earth, but to renew it through an invisible but powerful spiritual reign that is already in motion.
The final message of the booklet is one of deep hope and reassurance. Christ’s return is not a terrifying apocalypse but the greatest promise of renewal in human history. His presence is already bringing about the breakdown of unjust systems and preparing the world for a future of justice, peace, and abundant life. The Second Coming is not the end — it is the beginning of the real life God intended for humanity all along.
