23 of the 27 NT books refer to the 2nd coming | Second Coming

Both the Old and New Testaments are filled with promises of the Second Coming of Christ. There are 1,845 references to it in the Old Testament, and a total of 17 Old Testament books give it prominence. Of the 260 chapters in the entire New Testament, there are 318 references to the Second Coming, or one out of 30 verses. Twenty-three of the 27 New Testament books refer to this great event. The 4 missing books include 3 which are letters written to individuals on a particular subject, and the fourth is Galatians which implies Christ’s coming again. For every prophecy on the First Coming of Christ, there are 8 on Christ’s Second Coming. (Encyclopedia of Illustrations #6283).
