Second Coming

Also known as Parousia - from the Greek word 'parousia,' meaning 'presence'.

The second coming when many Christians expect Jesus Christ to return to earth to take his faithful people to Heaven. This is a major focus of most conservative Christians. His first coming was his birth as a baby in Bethlehem. His third coming will be after the millennium to recreate a new Earth and to pass the final Judgment on the wicked.
