How many times is Jesus Christ Second coming mentioned in the Bible?

Answer 1

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ is mentioned multiple times throughout The Bible, with various references in both the Old and New Testaments. While the exact number of times it is mentioned can vary depending on interpretation and translation, it is a significant theme in Christian eschatology. Key passages include Matthew 24, Mark 13, 1 Thessalonians 4, and Revelation 19.

Well, honey, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is mentioned multiple times in the Bible, but if you want an exact number, it's around 300 times. So, buckle up and get ready for some apocalyptic drama because Jesus is making a grand entrance...eventually.

Answer 4

Over sixty times in the New Testament alone. All 9 New Testament authors mention the Second Coming specifically ... most of them numerous times. And Jesus Himself prophesied it several times (as recorded in the 4 gospels).

The Old Testament also has a large number of references that almost surely refer to the Second Coming of Christ. But they are a little less direct than those of the New Testament because Jesus was not yet known by name ... and because many of them seem to speak of the results of the Second Coming, rather than the event itself.

Daniel 7.13-14, however, is a clear Old Testament reference to the Second Coming of Jesus. Jesus quoted it Himself as a prophecy of His return (see Matthew 24.30 and 26.64 along with the corresponding passages in Mark and Luke).

To look at the various mentions of the Second Coming for yourself ... most of them can be tracked down by using a concordance or internet search tool (like biblegateway.com) and searching for the words "come", "comes", "appears", "appearing", and especially "coming".

Answer 5

The first reference to the second coming of Jesus was in Mark's Gospel, with Jesus telling the disciples in chapter 13 that he would return in clouds of glory before the present generation had died. Mark 9:1 foreshadows the fuller account in chapter 13, saying that some of those who stand here will not taste death until they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

Mark 9:1 was copied more or less faithfully as Matthew 16:28 and Luke 9:27, but we find it ceases to be an introduction to their versions of the second, fuller passage, which the two later evangelists revised, with good reason. Because this passage no longer introduces a later prophecy of the second coming, many see it as a reference to the Transfiguration, which is the next major event in the synoptic gospels, but Mark 9:1 clearly refers to a more distant future event, involving the kingdom of God coming with power. Mark 9:1 also forms a pair with chapter 13 in the chiastic structure of Mark, so the author clearly intended it to be an introduction to the fuller account that follows.

The next reference to the second coming of Jesus is in the Gospel of Matthew. By the 80s of the first century, when Matthew was written, the return predicted in Mark's Gospel was becoming unlikely - the generation had already passed - and the author of Matthew had to change the emphasis away from an impending end of the world. While copying as faithfully as possible from Mark, he changed the position of the sentence about "this generation", relative to the destruction of the great buildings, so that it referred to something else altogether. He added, and emphasised, material where Jesus told the disciples that the end is not yet, and that no man knows when the end of the world will occur. Matthew 24:21 talks of great tribulation that will be followed by the end of the world and the second coming.

Luke was somewhat later than Matthew and even more clearly could not say that the destruction of Jerusalem meant the end of the world. This gospel talks about the end of the world as vaguely in the future, keeping the reference to this generation, but in reference to the need to preach the gospel.

There are passages in the Book of Revelation that can be read as further prophecies of the second coming of Jesus.
