Second Coming
Hastings' Dictionary of the New Testament [1]
Second Coming —This is the designation commonly given to the final return of Jesus in glory at the end of the ages, to perfect His Kingdom. The term does not occur in the Gospels, but it has long been adopted in general usage to signify the supreme crisis of the Parousia, the most momentous and decisive of the various future comings which Jesus foreshadowed when He spoke of His death at the hands of men, and the manifestations of His triumphant life and power that would follow it. The subject is dealt with under Coming again, and more fully, with a note on the Literature, under Parousia.
