Today, Scripture points are shared on correctly recognizing Jesus Christ and the Second Coming. While there are warnings against being deceived during the end times through false prophets who will appear and by counterfeit appearances of Christ staged by Satan, the Advent (some say, the harvest, the Rapture) will be an instantly recognizable, and unambiguous, sacred event.

Christians! Help! : Second coming of Jesus?
I know that in the end times there will be false profits claiming to be Jesus. I was told that the anyone claiming to be Jesus is false, that you can only see Jesus after death. I've tried to look into this, but didn't find anything. Is this true? How will you be able to distinguish the REAL Jesus from false profits? Scriptures please!
THE GOLDEN ARROW: Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1st Corinthians 15: 50-57, King James Version, KJV)

“Miranda”, here are some points from the Bible that speak to the sacred event of Christ coming in glory:
(1.) John 5: 25-29, King James Version (KJV): 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
(2.) Revelation 1: 7-8, KJV: 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
(3.) 1st Thessalonians 4: 15-18, KJV: 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
There is far more to be said, correctly applied, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4.) Luke 9: 23-26, KJV: 23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
