The Coming of Christ
Dr. Adrian Rogers
Daniel 2:31
Now Daniel, whether you know it not or understand it or not, had by the holy, by the Holy Spirit an insight into the second coming of Jesus Christ. And I say without fear or hesitation or without hesitation and without reservation and without fear of contradiction, that the second coming of Jesus Christ is the greatest event of all of the ages, even greater than his first coming is his second coming. And you would be amazed to study the bible in the light of the second coming and to find out how much emphasis the bible places upon the second coming of Jesus Christ. Do you know that sometimes preachers who preach a lot on prophesy are accused of writing a hobby, they're accused of having some sort of a pet theory that they keep reading into the bible. But I tell you, the more I look at the bible, the more I'm convicted that we are not preaching enough of the second coming of Jesus Christ. I believe that things ought to be preached to the same proportion that God writes them in the word of God. And it's an interesting thing. You find in the bible, for example, the new birth as important as that is, is mentioned nine times. Baptism, as important as that is, is mentioned twenty times. Repentance, as important as that is, is mentioned seventy times, but I want to say the return of the Lord Jesus Christ is mentioned specifically in the bible at least 380 times. The bible keeps telling us over and over again. Some bible scholar has pointed out that one out of every twenty five verses in the bible in someway points with eager fingers to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
One of the great bible expositors of yesterday was a man named Alexander McLaren, and I like what Alexander McLaren said about the second coming of Christ and the way the early church, that is, what he called the primitive church thought about the second coming of Christ. He said, and I quote, "The primitive church ...
