Pastor Chris Reveals Truth About the Second Coming of Christ
The second coming of Christ is a cornerstone of the Christian faith and a topic that has fascinated believers for centuries. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s recent message provides a fresh perspective on this significant event, offering insight into its meaning and relevance for today’s world.
Using scriptural references from the book of Revelation and other prophetic scriptures, Pastor Chris illuminates the importance of the second coming of Christ and its impact on Christians today.
Understanding the Prophetic Words with Pastor Chris
The foundational scripture for this message comes from the book of Revelation, where Pastor Chris highlights the prophetic words of the seventh angel. Revelation 11:15 says, “The kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.” This powerful declaration marks the beginning of Christ’s ultimate victory over the world.
Pastor Chris emphasizes that Jesus is already reigning, not just in heaven but also on earth through His believers. He explains that Christ will continue to reign until all His enemies are made His footstool. That reign is manifest through us, His followers. This reign is not merely spiritual but is progressively becoming evident in every nation through the church’s influence.
The Church’s Role in the Kingdom of God
Pastor Chris encourages believers to recognize their role in bringing about the fulfilment of God’s kingdom on earth. He stresses that while the church may have been viewed as a “sleeping giant” in some parts of the world, there is a global awakening taking place.
The church has risen, doing great things and making an impact worldwide. As the scripture declares, “The kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ,” this transformation is being brought about by the actions of the church.
In Pastor Chris’s view, this is a call to action for all believers. As the church rises up, it is fulfilling God’s purpose of bringing His kingdom to earth, making a tangible impact in every sphere of life, from politics to education, business to media. This is the power of the second coming of Christ in action, as the church prepares the world for Jesus’ return.
The Rapture and the Second Coming: Pastor Chris explains
A key point Pastor Chris addresses is the distinction between the rapture and the second coming of Christ. While both events are linked in Christian eschatology, they are not the same. The rapture, as Pastor Chris explains, is when Christ returns to take His followers to be with Him in the air.
In 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Paul writes that “the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air.”
This moment is one of joy and anticipation for believers, as it marks the end of the church’s earthly struggle and the beginning of eternal fellowship with Christ. However, Pastor Chris emphasizes that the second coming, in contrast, will be a more dramatic event. Jesus will descend to earth with His saints—those who were raptured—ushering in His reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ: His Return in Glory
In the book of Revelation, Pastor Chris highlights the description of Christ’s return as a majestic and awe-inspiring event. Revelation 19:11-16 describes Christ riding on a white horse, clothed in a robe dipped in blood, with His name written as “The Word of God.” His eyes are like a flame of fire, and He carries a sharp sword to smite the nations. This vivid imagery illustrates the power and authority that Christ will wield upon His return.
Pastor Chris encourages believers to understand that this event is not a distant future occurrence but is fast approaching. As Revelation 1:7 states, “Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him, and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him.” This speaks to the certainty and visibility of Christ’s second coming. No one will be able to deny His return.
The Role of the Church in the End Times
Pastor Chris also addresses the important role that the church plays in fulfilling prophecy, especially as it relates to the second coming. He references the book of Jude, where it is written that “the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints.” Pastor Chris explains that the church will not be passive in this event; rather, we will return with Christ to witness His final victory over sin and death.
This victory is not just for the church but for the entire world. In the second coming, Jesus will execute judgment on the ungodly, rewarding His faithful servants and punishing those who have rejected Him. It will be a time of reckoning. Pastor Chris urges believers to be vigilant and prepared, living in anticipation of Christ’s return.
Pastor Chris and The Hope of Christ’s Return
The second coming of Christ is a message of hope for Christians worldwide. Pastor Chris’s message reminds us that Jesus is coming back to set up His kingdom and reign forever. As believers, we are not just waiting for this event; we are actively participating in bringing it to pass. Through our prayers, actions, and faith, we are helping to establish God’s kingdom on earth.
Pastor Chris encourages the church to stay vigilant, remain faithful, and be ready for Christ’s return, as it is closer than ever before. The second coming of Christ is not just a future event but a present reality that should shape the way we live today.
