Two thousand years ago the Lord Jesus made an appearance on this earth. He was born of a virgin.

That is the future appearing of the Lord Jesus, the second appearing, the Second Coming, the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The whole Bible can be wrapped around the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is central to all of the message of the Bible, and there are three simple statements that really summarize what the Bible has to say about Jesus.
In the Old Testament the sentence would be, "He is coming." All through the Old Testament, in prediction and in pictures, we are told the wonderful truth that Jesus Christ is coming. There we have, all through the Old Testament, the predictions. He is coming.
Then when you get to the New Testament, in particular the Gospels, the sentence which describes what you have there is that He has come. All of those books and chapters are basically saying, "Jesus Christ has come." The one the Bible predi ...
