The Second Coming — The Return of God Himself

THE DEITY OF CHRIST — LECTURE 17

Introduction: Who Is Coming Back?

The Bible does not end with the first coming of Christ.

It points forward:

To His return

But the question must be asked:

Who is returning?

  • A man?
  • A prophet?
  • A created being?

Or something far greater?

 

Scripture answers clearly:

The One who returns is the same One who possesses divine glory, authority, and judgment—God Himself.

THESIS: The Second Coming Reveals Christ as God in Glory

I. Titus 2:13 — The Great God Appearing

“Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”

 

A. “Glorious Appearing”

This is not:

  • hidden
  • symbolic

This is:
visible, divine manifestation

 

B. “The Great God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ”

Not two persons
One identity

 

Therefore:

The One who appears is called “the great God”

 

II. Matthew 25 — The Son as Final Judge

Matthew 25:31
“When the Son of man shall come in his glory… then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:”

 

A. Coming in Glory

Not earthly humility
But divine majesty

 

B. Sitting on the Throne

Authority
Judgment

 

C. Judgment of All Nations

“…before him shall be gathered all nations…”

 

This is universal judgment

 

Conclusion

The Son executes final judgment

But Scripture teaches:

Judgment belongs to God (cf. Deuteronomy 32:35–36; Ecclesiastes 12:13–14; Acts 17:31)

 

III. Acts 17:31 — Appointed Judge of the World

“…he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained…”

 

A. Judgment Is Certain

Not optional
Not symbolic

 

B. The Judge Is Christ

The resurrected One

 

Therefore:

Christ is the appointed Judge of all mankind

 

IV. The Divine Role of Judgment

Throughout Scripture:

Judgment belongs to God alone

Genesis 18:25 — “…Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

 

Yet:

Christ judges all

 

Conclusion

The Judge of all the earth:

is Christ

 

V. Revelation 1:7 — Universal Visibility

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him…”

 

A. No One Escapes This Event

Every eye
All people

 

B. Divine Manifestation

Not hidden
Not localized

 

This is:

God revealed in glory

 

VI. CENI — Establishing the Doctrine

Command

  • Titus 2:13 — Christ is called “the great God”
  • Acts 17:31 — Christ is appointed Judge

 

Example

  • Christ sits on the throne (Matthew 25:31)
  • Judges all nations

 

Necessary Inference

If:

  • Only God judges all
  • Christ judges all

Then:

Christ is God

 

VII. Apologetic — Answering Objections

❌   “Christ judges by delegated authority only”

Even if appointed:

The function remains divine

  • Universal judgment
  • Eternal consequences

No created being holds this authority independently

 

❌   “Second coming is symbolic”

Refuted by:

  • “every eye shall see him”
  • visible return
  • global event

 

❌   “Christ returns as a glorified man only”

Incomplete because:

He returns:

  • in glory
  • with authority
  • as Judge

These belong to God

 

VIII. Polemic — Refuting False Eschatology

❌   “Christ is not divine but returns as agent”

Impossible because:

He judges all
He receives universal recognition

 

❌   “Judgment is separate from Christ’s identity”

False because:

Judgment reveals identity

 

❌   “Christ’s return does not prove deity”

False because:

The role He performs:

  • belongs exclusively to God

 

IX. The Unity of First and Second Coming

First coming:

  • humility
  • sacrifice

Second coming:

  • glory
  • judgment

 

Same Person
Same identity

 

Therefore:

The One who was crucified is the One who returns in divine glory

 

X. Spiritual Application — Preparing for His Return

This is not theory.

This is reality

 

The Question Is Not “Will He Come?”

He will come

 

The Question Is:

Are you ready to stand before Him?

 

“…we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ…” (2 Corinthians 5:10)

 

Conclusion: The Return of the Divine Judge

The Scriptures reveal:

  • Christ will return
  • Christ will be seen by all
  • Christ will judge all
  • Christ is called the great God

 

Therefore:

The Second Coming is not the return of a mere man—but the appearing of God Himself in glory and judgment.

 

Final Statement:

The One who will judge the world is Jesus Christ—and Scripture declares that this Judge is God.

Ang Ikalawang Pagparito — Ang Pagbabalik ng Dios Mismo

ANG PAGKA-DIYOS NI CRISTO — ARALIN 17

Panimula: Sino ang Babalik?

Ang Biblia ay hindi nagtatapos sa unang pagparito ni Cristo.

Ito ay nagtuturo ng Kaniyang pagbabalik

Ngunit ang tanong:

Sino ang babalik?

  • Tao lamang ba?
  • Propeta?
  • Nilikhang nilalang?

O higit pa?

 

Malinaw ang sagot ng Kasulatan:

Ang babalik ay ang may kaluwalhatian, kapangyarihan, at paghuhukom—ang Dios mismo.

THESIS: Ang Ikalawang Pagparito ay Pagpapahayag ng Pagka-Dios ni Cristo

I. Tito 2:13 — Ang Dakilang Dios ay Magpapakita

“…ang maluwalhating pagpapakita ng ating dakilang Dios at Tagapagligtas na si Jesucristo.”

 

A. “Maluwalhating Pagpapakita”

Hindi lihim
Hindi simbolo

Ito ay:

hayag at makapangyarihan

 

B. “Dakilang Dios”

Hindi dalawang persona
Kundi iisang tinutukoy

Si Jesucristo mismo

 

Kaya malinaw:

Ang babalik ay tinawag na “dakilang Dios”

 

II. Mateo 25 — Ang Anak Bilang Hukom

Mateo 25:31
“…pagparito ng Anak ng tao sa kaniyang kaluwalhatian… uupo siya sa luklukan…”

 

A. Pagparito sa Kaluwalhatian

Hindi na kababaan
Kundi sa Kaniyang kaluwalhatian

 

B. Luklukan

Awtoridad
Paghuhukom

 

C. Hahatulan ang Lahat

“…mangagkakatipon sa harap niya ang lahat ng mga bansa…”

 

Lahat ng tao
Walang makakaiwas

 

Konklusyon

Si Cristo ang hahatol

Ngunit ayon sa Biblia:

Ang paghuhukom ay para sa Dios lamang (cf. Deuteronomy 32:35–36; Ecclesiastes 12:13–14; Acts 17:31)

 

III. Mga Gawa 17:31 — Siya ang Hahatol sa Buong Sanlibutan

“…kaniyang hahatulan ang sanglibutan… sa pamamagitan ng lalaking kaniyang itinalaga…”

 

A. Tiyak ang Paghuhukom

Hindi opinyon
Hindi simbolo

 

B. Si Cristo ang Hukom

Siya ang itinalaga

 

Kaya:

Si Cristo ang hahatol sa lahat

 

IV. Ang Paghuhukom ay Gawa ng Dios

Genesis 18:25
“…ang Hukom ng buong lupa…”

 

Ang Dios ang Hukom

Ngunit:

Si Cristo ang hahatol

 

Konklusyon

Ang Hukom ng lahat:

Si Cristo—na Dios

 

V. Apocalipsis 1:7 — Makikita ng Lahat

“Narito, siya’y pumaparitong nasa mga alapaap; at makikita siya ng bawa’t mata…”

 

A. Walang Makakaiwas

Bawa’t mata
Lahat makakakita

 

B. Hindi Lihim

Hindi tago
Hindi limitado

 

Ito ay:

hayag na kapahayagan ng Dios

 

VI. CENI — Pagtatatag ng Katotohanan

Utos

  • Tito 2:13 — dakilang Dios
  • Mga Gawa 17:31 — Siya ang hahatol

 

Halimbawa

  • Uupo sa luklukan
  • Hahatol sa lahat

 

Kinakailangang Konklusyon

Kung:

  • Ang Dios ang hahatol
  • Si Cristo ang hahatol

Kaya:

Si Cristo ay Dios

 

VII. Apologetics — Pagsagot sa Pagtutol

❌   “Delegated authority lang ito”

Kahit ipinagkaloob:

Ang gawain ay nananatiling banal

Walang nilalang ang hahatol sa lahat

 

❌   “Simboliko lang ang pagbabalik”

Hindi tama dahil:

  • “makikita ng bawa’t mata”
  • hayag ang pangyayari

 

❌   “Tao lang Siyang babalik”

Hindi sapat dahil:

Siya ay babalik:

  • sa kaluwalhatian
  • bilang Hukom

Mga katangiang sa Dios lamang

 

VIII. Polemics — Pagtanggi sa Maling Aral

❌   “Ahente lang si Cristo”

Hindi pwede dahil:

Siya ang hahatol
Siya ang kikilalanin ng lahat

 

❌   “Hindi konektado ang identity at paghuhukom”

Mali dahil:

Ang paghuhukom ay nagpapakita kung sino Siya

 

❌   “Hindi patunay ng pagka-Dios ang pagbabalik”

Mali dahil:

Ang gagawin Niya:

  • eksklusibo sa Dios

 

IX. Iisang Cristo — Noon at Ngayon

Sa unang pagparito:

  • nagpakumbaba
  • naghandog

Sa ikalawang pagparito:

  • may kaluwalhatian
  • hahatol

 

Kaya:

Siya na ipinako sa krus ay Siya ring magbabalik sa banal na kaluwalhatian.

 

X. Praktikal na Aplikasyon — Handa Ka Na Ba?

Hindi ito kwento.

Ito ay mangyayari, Siya ay paparitong muli

 

Hindi na Tanong Kung Darating Siya

Darating Siya

 

Ang Tanong:

Handa ka bang humarap sa Kaniya?

 

“…tayong lahat ay haharap sa hukuman ni Cristo…” (2 Corinto 5:10)

 

Pangwakas: Ang Babalik ay Dios na Hukom

Malinaw ang Kasulatan:

  • Si Cristo ay babalik
  • Makikita ng lahat
  • Siya ang hahatol
  • Siya ay tinawag na Dios

 

Kaya ang konklusyon:

Ang ikalawang pagparito ay hindi pagbabalik ng tao lamang—ito ay pagpapakita ng Dios sa kaluwalhatian at paghuhukom.

 

Panghuling pahayag:

Ang hahatol sa mundo ay si Jesucristo—at ayon sa Kasulatan, ang Hukom na ito ay Dios.

Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them.

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog " Believe That Ye Receive Them, And Ye Shall Have Them. " Text: Mark 11:24 Introduction This Bible sermon explains the true meaning of Mark 11:24 , where Jesus teaches about believing prayer. Many misunderstand this verse as a promise that God will grant any request, but Scripture shows that prayer must be made in Christ’s name, according to His will, and from a life of obedience . Learn what the Bible really teaches about faithful prayer. Brethren and friends, listen carefully to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 11:24 : “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This verse is powerful. It is encouraging. It strengthens our faith in prayer. But it is also one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible today. Many people read this passage and think that Jesus is giving believers a blank check — that whatever we desire, God ...

The Deity of Christ — Lecture 1

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ The Foundational Thesis — Why the Deity of Christ Is Central to Salvation and Doctrine THE DEITY OF CHRIST  — LECTURE 1   Introduction: The Question That Determines Everything There is no question more critical in all of Scripture than this: Who is Jesus Christ? Not merely what men say, not what traditions teach, but what the Word of God declares. For upon this question rests the foundation of salvation, the authority of doctrine, and the very identity of God as revealed to man. In Matthew 16:15, Jesus asked His disciples, “But whom say ye that I am?” This was not a casual inquiry—it was a dividing line between truth and error, life and condemnation. The answer given by Peter, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16), becomes the cornerstone of true faith. Yet Scripture does not leave this confession undefined. The Bible itself explains what...

“For Now I Know” — God’s Response to Faith With Works

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog Sermon: “ For Now I Know ” — God’s Response To Faith With Works Text: Genesis 22:12 God’s Words Are For Us, Not For Him Brethren, when we read, “for now I know that thou fearest God,” we must remember that God did not write the Scriptures for Himself—He wrote them for us (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:16). The Lord has always been all-knowing (Psalm 139:1–4; Isaiah 46:10). He knew Abraham’s heart before Abraham even moved. But God chose to phrase it this way—“for now I know”—to communicate something to us. It is not that God gained new knowledge, but that He demonstrated in a way we can understand that true faith is proven by obedience.   Faith Is Only Real When It Acts Notice, brethren, Abraham was already a man of faith before Genesis 22. Hebrews 11:8 says he obeyed when he was called to go out. But here, his faith reached its highest test—offering Isaac, his only son. Faith alone in the mind would not have satisfied God. James ...

IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog IS CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION PLEASING TO GOD? A Doctrinal Examination by Scripture Alone 📖 WHAT DOES “Pleasing to God” MEAN? To ask whether Christmas celebration is pleasing to God is not a cultural question but a doctrinal one . Scripture defines what pleases God—not human sentiment, tradition, emotion, or majority practice. “ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him .”   (Hebrews 11:6) What pleases God is: ·      Faith grounded in His revealed will ·      Obedience to His commands ·      Worship offered according to His authority “ Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. ”   (2 John 9) ☛ Thus, anything done “for God” but without His authorization is not pleasing—no matter how sincere . ✎ Key Questio...

HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”) HEAR THE WORD WHILE YOU STILL CAN (Luke 16:29 — “Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.”)   A Cry From the Other Side Brethren and friends, there is a cry that still trembles across eternity — not from heaven, but from torment. In Luke 16, our Lord Jesus pulls back the curtain of the unseen world to show us a rich man who lived for himself and a beggar named Lazarus who suffered in life but was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man, now in anguish, lifts up his eyes and pleads for his brothers who are still alive. “Send Lazarus,” he begs, “that he may warn them.” But Abraham’s answer pierces like thunder: “They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.” Oh brethren, hear that line again — let them hear them. The Lord is s...

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ⟵ Previous Next ⟶ The Unity and Nature of God — Monotheism Without Compromise (Old Testament Foundation) THE DEITY OF CHRIST — LECTURE 2   Introduction: The Foundation That Cannot Be Broken Before we can establish the deity of Christ, we must first establish this unshakable truth:   There is only one God.   Any claim that Jesus is God must not contradict this truth—but must fully harmonize with it.   The Bible does not allow: Multiple gods (polytheism) Nor a divided God   Instead, it consistently declares from Genesis to Malachi:   “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” (Deuteronomy 6:4)   This is the foundation.

ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST?

English 🇵🇭 Tagalog ARE YOU IN THE CHURCH BUILT BY CHRIST? Main Text: Matthew 16:18 “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Beloved, my friend… allow me to speak to you not as an enemy, but as one who cares for your soul. I am not here to attack you. I am not here to argue with you. I am here to ask you something—something simple, yet something that may change everything about your life, your faith, and your eternity. My friend… what church are you a member of? Have you ever truly asked yourself that question—not just by name, but by truth? Who built that church you belong to? When did it begin? Was it established in the days of the apostles… or was it started by a man many years later? And more importantly… can you find that church in the New Testament? Pause for a moment. Think carefully. If we open the Bible—not traditions, not history books...
