Events Leading up to the Second Coming


Christ taught his disciples about the events that would lead up to the Second Coming, the time when Christ would again return to the Earth and usher in the Millennium and the destruction of the Temple.  Following is a list of some of the events leading up to the greater events and promises that accompany them.

Destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem (JS-M 1:5-20)
1) Events to occur - Many will be deceived, people shall hate and offend one another, love shall wax cold, sorrows and tribulation

2) Promises to the righteous - Shall be saved if they remain faithful, their days shall be shortened

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ (JS-M 1:21-55)
1) Events to occur - Wars and rumors of wars, false prophets and false Christ's, the elect will be deceived, famine and earthquakes, gospel preached to the world, the righteous will be gathered, wicked will be destroyed and cut off from the presence of God,

2) Promises to the righteous s - All God's promises will be fulfilled, those that overcome shall be saved, treasure up His words and do not be deceived

Although there are some bad or scary things that are going to happen, there is hope.  We do not need to fear as the righteous will always be saved and protected.
