The Awesome Return of Christ

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: … and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” Matthew 24:30

By Mike Wingfield

The earth and its inhabitants are moving toward the climax of human history on this little planet nestled in the millions of galaxies of God’s creation. From the dawn of creation, the world has been uniquely prepared by God for the greatest single event in His eternal plan – the Revelation of His eternal Son, Jesus Christ. Nothing in all of human history will ever surpass the awesome and powerful display of the majesty of God when our Lord descends from the heavens in His revelation at the end of the deadly Tribulation Period. It will be an encounter that will surpass all events people on this planet have ever experienced. They will see it, hear it, and feel it!

How tragic that most of Christendom does not believe the book of Revelation is relevant! This shows how out of touch most of Christianity is with God and His divine revelation! The ministry of the church is not about us! The focus is not upon the church as the bride of Christ. The real focus of the New Testament is about Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom of the church. Tragically, most pastors and churches are consumed with church programs and measuring their success in terms of the world. Consequently, they have lost the glory of a ministry that exclusively and passionately worships and serves Jesus!

By God’s eternal design, the last book of His written revelation is named after its opening words: “The Revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Revelation 1:1) The Greek word that is translated “revelation” means “unveiling.” This book pulls back the curtain and shows the final climatic events that will be orchestrated in heaven by Jesus Christ for seven years to prepare the inhabitants of earth to witness the physical unveiling of the holy, awesome, and infinite glory, majesty, and power of God.

Speaking 2,700 years ago through Isaiah, the ancient prophet of Israel, the Holy Spirit gave the following cry of the human spirit that calls for God to come down to man on earth: “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence. As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence. … For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.” (Isaiah 64:1-2, 4) download the .pdf file
