Revelation 17 and 18 declare the victory of Jesus Christ over the kingdoms of this world. The Tribulation ends, and the reign of Christ begins. This is the moment all creation has groaned for—the Second Coming of Jesus.
“These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings.”
-- Revelation 17:14
✝️ Prophecy Fulfilled — Past and Future
To understand the certainty of Christ’s return, we must first look back in history. Jesus’ first coming was foretold in over 300 Old Testament prophecies—every one fulfilled with precision. His birth, lineage, ministry, death, and resurrection were all written centuries before they occurred.
Now consider this: there are over 500 prophecies about His Second Coming. If He fulfilled every prophecy of His first coming, we can be absolutely confident that He will fulfill every prophecy of His return. Let's take a quick look at just a few of the prophecies fulfilled in Jesus' First Coming.
