The Second Coming
Messiah arrives again
The Second Coming is the anticipated return of Jesus Christ to Earth, a central belief in Christian eschatology.
Believers expect this event to bring final judgment, the resurrection of the dead, and the establishment of God's kingdom.
The phrase appears in broader contexts for any long-awaited return or reappearance: Fans treated the band's reunion tour like the Second Coming.
