The Second Coming

In this message we speak of the most certain event still ahead of us: the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But let me be clear – while we know with certainty that the Lord Jesus is coming – we do not know the day or the hour, so let no one deceive you that oh the rapture is on this day or that year. As I will be sharing in this message, the Lord’s word is clear: Watch and Pray – Why? Because you don’t know the day or the hour.

And here is something you must know — The Second Coming is not myth, this is not legend. Even secular history confirms that Jesus truly walked this earth. Roman historians like Tacitus wrote of Him, saying He was executed under Pontius Pilate. The Jewish historian Josephus described Him as a wise man, a doer of wonderful works. And Pliny the Younger reported that Christians worshiped Him as God.

So the evidence is clear: there was a real, historic Jesus. And if His first coming is beyond dispute, then we must take seriously His own words about His second coming.

And so Jesus said in Luke 21:36 (NKJV):

Watch therefore, and pray always that you may ^[be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

This is not suggestion. This is survival. The question is simple: When He comes the second time, will you be ready?

The Command That Saves

Jesus said: “Watch and pray always.”

To watch means to stay spiritually awake, alert to the signs, refusing to be lulled into sin or distraction.

To pray means to remain in constant fellowship with heaven, drawing strength from the Spirit for the hour of trial.

Without both, you cannot be ready.

And He repeated this command again and again:

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming” (Matt. 24:42–44).

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming” (Matt. 25:13).

“Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation” (Matt. 26:41).

“What I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” (Mark 13:37).

“Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching” (Luke 12:37).

“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches” (Rev. 16:15).

Do you see it? Over and over, He presses it upon us: Watch. Pray. Be ready.

The Prophets Saw the Day

But you may ask — why so much urgency? Why would Jesus repeat this command so many times? Because He was not the first to warn. Long before He walked the earth, the prophets of old saw the same Day coming.

The prophets warned of darkness, judgment, and glory and their voices echo through time, warning us why we must watch and pray...
