Unit 9: The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
Chapter 41: Signs of The Second Coming
Concept 1: Jesus Christ Will Return to the Earth
"The Savior told Joseph Smith, "I will reveal myself from heaven with power and great glory ... dwell in righteousness with men on earth thousand years, and the wicked shall not stand." (D&C 29:11; see also chapters 43 The Second Coming of Jesus Christ, Chapter 43: The Second Coming of Jesus Christ, Gospel Principles Comments and Resources and 44 The Millennium, Chapter 44: The Millennium, Gospel Principles Comments and Resources). Jesus has told us that certain signs and events will warn us when the time of his second coming is near. This second coming is also called "The great and dreadful day of the Lord" (D&C 110:16).

Acts 1:9-11
"9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
What great truth did the two angels tell the Apostles?"
