SECOND COMING

SECOND COMING. With the current specula­tion in some corners of Christendom surrounding the Second Coming of Christ and how it may come to pass, it is comforting to know the beliefs of the Or­thodox Church are basic. Orthodox Christians confess with conviction that Jesus Christ "will come again to judge the living and the dead," and that "His Kingdom will have no end." Orthodox preaching does not at­tempt to predict God's prophetic schedule, but to en­courage Christian people to have their lives in order that they might have confidence before Him when He comes (1 John 2:28).
