This article refers to the religious usage of the term. For other usages, see Second Coming (disambiguation).
The prophecies of a Second Coming are various and span across many religions and cultures. Most notable is the Christian and Muslim belief in the return of Jesus. Another is Maitreya (Pali: Metteyya), a bodhisattva, prophesied by Gautama Buddha to be the next Buddha who will return to restore Buddhism when it becomes lost or corrupt.
Pastor William Miller and the Millerite Movement expected the secondcoming on October 22, 1844.
Followers of the Bahá'í Faith believe that the secondcoming of Jesus, as well as the prophecies of the 5th Buddha and many other religious prophecies of a secondcoming, were fulfilled in Bahá'u'lláh.
The view of the Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement and the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is based on an allegorical interpretation of the references to Jesus’s secondcoming in Islamic literature.
When the Son of Man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the 'Throne of His Glory;' and before him shall be gathered all nations; and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats.
That the "CONVERSION OF THE SINNER" is the Coming of the Lord.
This cannot be, for at conversion the sinner comes to Christ, not Christ to the sinner; and the sinner's conversion is the work of the Holy Spirit, and not the work of Christ.
