In many respects, Christ’s second coming is not only the high point of Revelation, but the high point of all history. Here is the manifestation of the Son of God in glory, the demonstration of the sovereignty of God, and the beginning of the end of human rebellion. How poverty-stricken is any theology that minimizes the second coming of Christ, and how limited the hope that does not include this glorious climax to God’s program of exalting His Son and putting all creation under His control (cf. Ps. 2).
