Unit 9: The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
Chapter 43: The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
Concept 1: Introduction

"Forty days after his resurrection, Jesus and his Apostles were gathered together on the Mount of Olives.  The time had come for Jesus to leave the earth.  He had completed all the work that he had to do at that time.  He was to return to our Heavenly Father until the time of his second coming.

After he had instructed his Apostles, Jesus ascended into heaven.  While the Apostles looked up into the heavens, two angels stood beside them and 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 acome in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." (Acts 1:11).

From that time until the present day, the followers of Jesus Christ have looked forward to the Second Coming.

Discussion
Why is it important for us to know about the Second Coming?"

Moroni 10:4-5
  "4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
  5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
