A. The Second Coming

A2

1) Jesus’ return is a fact, not a subject for debate. 2) Jesus’ ascension is a prototype of His return—He will return in exactly the same way He ascended.

The Gospel of Mark

Chapter 16

¹⁹ So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

The Acts of the Apostles

Chapter 1

⁹ When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. ¹⁰ While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing, ¹¹ who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

The Gospel of Luke

Chapter 24

⁵¹ While he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven.
