(S5 E28) Messianic Prophecies of the Passion (Part 4): The Second Coming of Christ

By: Brian Chilton and Curtis Evelo | April 28, 2022

Through the month of April, Brian Chilton and Curtis Evelo will discuss the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament (OT) that relate to the passion narrative of Jesus. The passion narrative includes the details surrounding the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. This episode will feature a discussion of the prophecies that point to Pentecost and the Second Coming of Christ.

1. While it is not technically part of the Second Coming, Scripture places the outpouring of the Spirit with the end-time events that accompany the Messiah. What does prophecy tell us about the coming of the Spirit at Pentecost? (Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:14-18; and Rev. 6:12-14–see also Isa. 44:3)

2. What does Daniel say about the Second Coming of Christ? (Dan. 7:13; Dan. 12:1-3)

3. What does Zechariah say about the Second Coming of Christ? (Zech. 12:10)

4. What does Scripture say about the judgment that the Messiah brings to the world? (Psa. 9:7-10; Acts 17:31)

5. Does the Scripture say anything about the relationship between the Father and Son in eternity?

6. As we conclude our series on prophecy, what do you take from the prophecies that Jesus fulfilled and what can we take from this as we face uncertain times?
