According to the Bible, Jesus Christ will return visibly and gloriously to the earth at the end of the age. Many Christians believe His return will be connected with the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem based on Zechariah 14:4 and Acts 1:9–12, which say He will come back in the same manner and place from which He ascended to heaven. The New Testament teaches that when He returns, there will be resurrection of the dead, final judgment, defeat of evil, and the establishment of God’s eternal kingdom, bringing peace and righteousness forever. The Gospel message connected to this is that God loves the world and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, who lived without sin, died on the cross for humanity’s sins, and rose again on the third day so that everyone who repents and believes in Him can receive forgiveness, eternal life, and reconciliation with God (John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 15:1–4).
