Forty days after Jesus was resurrected, He met with his apostles on a hill called the Mount of Olives. Jesus had done all the things that Heavenly Father had asked Him to do and He was ready to return to heaven. The apostles watched Jesus go up into heaven. As they watched, two angels visited them and told them that Jesus would return to earth again someday.
From that time until now, followers of Jesus have looked forward to His return. His return is called the Second Coming of Christ.
At the Second Coming, Jesus will come down from heaven with great power. He will cleanse the earth of all wickedness, and Satan will no longer have power over the people. Jesus will rule for a thousand years over all the people who have been faithful to Him.
