29. THE COMING OF THE LORD.

THE CONSUMMATION. THE NEW CHURCH. CHRIST AND THE JUDGMENT.

1. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: and it shall come to pass that everyone who shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts of the Apostles 2:19-21).

Ye, waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall confirm you even to the end, unreprovable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 1:7-8).

When the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law (Galatians 4:4).

In the dispensation of the fullness of the times, that He might restore all things in Him both those which are in the heavens, and those which are on earth (Ephesians 1:10-11, 13).

Until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6, 10; 2:26).

When Christ shall be manifested (Colossians 3:4).

In the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming ( 1 Thessalonians 2:19).

May he confirm your hearts at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 3:13).

We shall be kept safe in the coming of the Lord. What that coming will be, is described (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17).

That day will come as a thief, etc. (1 Thessalonians 5:2-4).

That they may be unreprovable at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (5:23).

In the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with angels, and in a flame of fire (2 Thess. 1:7-10).

Concerning the coming of the Lord and the day; but there will be a falling away first; but then shall iniquity be revealed; His coming will be directly after the working of Satan with signs and lying wonders. (See generally 2 Thess. 2:1-11.)

That in the last times they shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, hypocrisy, etc. (1 Timothy 4:1-2).

Be thou then blameless until the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 6:14-15).

That day (2 Timothy 1:12; 4:8).

In the last days perilous times shall come; the covetous boasters, blasphemers (2 Timothy 3:1-6).

Jesus Christ shall judge the living and the dead at His appearing (2 Timothy 4:1, 8).

Looking for the appearing of Jesus Christ (Titus 2:13).
