Christ's return

Messiah's prophesied arrival

Christ's return is the anticipated second coming of Jesus Christ, a central doctrine in Christian eschatology.

Believers expect Christ will return to earth to judge the living and the dead, establish his kingdom, and fulfill biblical prophecy.

The timing and manner are debated among denominations, but the expectation shapes Christian worship, ethics, and hope: They lived as though Christ's return were imminent.
