After His resurrection, Jesus personally appeared to
literally hundreds of His followers, encouraging,
strengthening, and comforting them. He told them that He was going to return to be with His heavenly Father, but that He would always be with them in spirit, living in their hearts forever. He also gave His followers a wonderful promise, saying, One day I will come again.

For 2,000 years He and His Kingdom have remained unseen to this world, manifested only in the hearts and lives of those who love and receive Him by faith. But the day is coming when this present age will be over and all the world will see Jesus coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Matthew 24:29-31 The Bible gives numerous signs to watch for so we will know when Jesus return is drawing close. These signs include the gospel being preached throughout the world, dramatic increases in international travel and scientific knowledge, the rise of a tyrant known as the Antichrist who will set up a world government and an unprecedented time of chaos known in the Bible as the Great Tribulation.
