References to The Second Coming

Just as the Old Testament is saturated with prophecies concerning Christ’s first coming, so both testaments are filled with references to the second coming of Christ. One scholar has estimated that there are 1,845 references to Christ’s second coming in the Old Testament, where 17 books give it prominence. In the 260 chapters of the New Testament, there are 318 references to the second coming of Christ; an amazing 1 out of every 30 verses. Twenty-three of the 27 New Testament books refer to this great event.  (Today in the Word, April, 1989, p. 27)
