According to the teachings of the Christian Church, Christ came to the world in order to save people. He accepted the human body, becoming the God-man, and died on the cross for the sins of the world, and then resurrected and ascended into heaven. The gospels say that there will be a second glorious coming of the Lord.
For the first time, the Lord Jesus Christ revealed himself to the world in a meek and humble manner. He was born in a cattle pen, and his death was a shame and humiliation. But that’s how God decides to save man. That was to be the first coming of the Lord into the world.
After the Lord apparently left the earth (ascended to heaven), angels appeared in the air, announcing to the apostles that the disciples would again see the Lord as he ascended to heaven. The Christian Church says that the second coming of Christ is sure to take place. However, in the latter case, the Lord’s meekness and humility will no longer be manifested.
The main goal of the second coming of Jesus will be a universal trial of humanity. Moreover, not only the living will be asked about their sins, but all the people who live on earth will be resurrected for this. It turns out that the second coming of Christ is the judgment by God of all mankind. Now the Lord will appear in all his glory with thousands of angels and saints. The second coming will be the exact opposite of the Incarnation. In the first case, everything was humble and inglorious, and during the Last Judgment the glory of the Divinity of Christ will be manifested in all its greatness.
On this day, those who are worthy will inherit the eternal kingdom of heaven, and sinners will suffer torment. Sometimes the second coming is called a terrible day, because it is very scary to appear before the judgment of God. Also, sometimes the end of the world (apocalypse) is associated precisely with the second coming of Christ.
