Hebrews 9: 28 Commentary

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be in two stages.
(i)Jesus Christ is the Bright & Morning Star.(Rev.22:16).In the first stage of the Second Coming,Jesus Christ will come for the saints.He will come to take the Church to be with Him.(Matt.24:40-44;1Thes.4:16,17;1Cor.15:51,52).
(ii)Jesus Christ is the Sun of Righteousness.(Mal.4:2).In the second stage,
He will come with the saints.(Zech.14:4,5).Jesus Christ entered Jerusalem through the East Gate just a few days before His Crucifixion.(The day is called Palm Sunday).Matthew 21:1-16.He will appear on the Mount Olive and go into Jerusalem through the East Gate.(Ezek.43:2;44:1,2;Zech.14:4).Christ will rule in the earth for 1000 years with His saints.(Rev.20:4-7).
The prophecies regarding the Second Coming of Jesus Christ are being fulfilled.Read 1 Cor.16:22.If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ,let him be Anathema Maranatha.(let him be accursed;our Lord,come!)

Death of Christ:Heb.2:9″..He(Jesus)by the grace of God,might taste death for everyone.”Please read 1 Peter 2:24;Is.53:5-7,12;1Tim.2:5,6;1John 2:2;12:32;
Rom.8:32.It is appointed for men to die once.(Heb.9:27)Jesus Christ came as a man.(Phili.2:8)He died once for our sins.He will not die again.The repetition is impossible.There is no need of repetition of sacrifice also as His once- for- all-sacrifice was perfect & efficacious.(Heb.10:14,18).
Jesus Christ will come again:It is appointed that after death,man has to appear before the judgment seat of Christ.(Heb.9:27).Jesus Christ will come again as Judge & King.Jesus Christ was made sin for us in the First Advent.(2 Cor.5:21)He will appear the second time apart from sin.He will perfect the salvation of His people in the Second Advent.He will come in His glory.(Matt.25:31).The appearing of our great God & Saviour Jesus Christ is the blessed hope of the Church.(Tit.2:13).Jesus says,”I am coming quickly;
Amen,Even so,come,Lord Jesus!(Rev.22:20).The Church is the bride.It is waiting for its bridegroom Jesus Christ to come.The rapture of the Church will take place.(I Thes.4:16,17;1 Cor.15:51,52).The Thessalonian believers turned to God from idols and waited for Jesus to come from heaven.(1 Thes.
1:9,10).The angels told the disciples when Jesus was taken up to heaven,
“This same Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”Acts 1:11.
The death of Jesus Christ was a historical event!
The Second Return of Jesus Christ is a soon coming coming event!
