During the winter months, the Bellator Christi Podcast examines a major arm of systematic theology. For this Winter Theology Series, we are exploring Christology–that is, the study of Christ. This week Brian and Curtis look into the Second Coming of Christ.

1. 1. What is the Second Coming of Christ?
   2. Do the Scriptures definitively claim that Christ will return or is this a matter of interpretation?
      1. Matt. 24:30
      2. John 14:3
      3. Acts 3:19-21
      4. 1 Cor. 1:7
      5. 1 Thess. 2:19
      6. 2 Thess. 2:1, 8
      7. 1 Tim. 6:14
      8. 2 Tim. 4:1, 8
      9. Heb. 9:28
      10. James 5:7-8
      11. 1 Pet. 1:7, 13
      12. 1 John 2:28
   3. What will happen to the saints of God when Jesus returns? (1 Thess. 4:15-16)
   4. Does anyone know when Christ will return? (Mark 13:32-33, 35; Matt. 24:36-44; Acts 1:7)
   5. Does the OT speak of the end-times resurrection of the saints accompanying the return of Christ?
      1. Isa. 26:19
      2. Dan. 12:2
      3. Ezek. 37:12-14
      4. Psa. 49:15
      5. Psa. 17:15
   6. What comes after the Second Coming of Christ?
   7. We are going to have a series on eschatology to conclude our systematic theology series. But for now, are there fundamental aspects of the Second Coming in which all Christians can agree?
