Introduction

For my text I have selected only one scripture which foretells the coming of Christ. There are scores of others. The Assemblies of God recognizes four teachings as the cornerstones of our doctrinal statement;

Salvation, Divine Healing, Holy Spirit Baptism, and the Second Coming of Christ. The erroneous date-settings by a few misguided mystics has caused this doctrine to be pushed to the back burner in recent years, but I believe it is time for us to brush the dust from it and examine it again in the light of recent events.

Text: John 14:1-3

I. The promise of his coming

A. Jesus Himself promised it, (John 14:1-3, Matthew. 26:64)

B. The angels predicted it, (Acts 1:11)

C. The apostles believed it, (James 5:8)

a. John also spoke about this event, (I John 2:28)

b. Paul the apostle certainly believed it, (Hebrews 9:28)

c. Even the demons of Hell know that He is coming! (Matthew 8:29)

d. Not a matter of IF He is coming, it’s just a matter of WHEN!
