Christ Will Come To Judge The World Which is the Second Article? _I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead._ 1. When our Lord ascended into heaven and His disciples were looking after Him as He was taken up before their eyes, higher and higher, two men stood by them in white apparel, two angels, who said: _"This same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven."_ Acts 1,11. We confess therefore that our Lord _will come again,_ that He will come again in like manner as His apostles saw Him taken up into heaven. He will come _visibly._ All men on earth will see our Lord coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Luke 21,27. He will not come again in deep humility and poverty, as He came when He was born in Bethlehem, but with great power and glory. _"The Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels."_ Matt. 16,27. All men will see Him as the almighty King surrounded by His heavenly hosts. Every one will then have to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and every one will have to bow to Him. _Our Lord will come again visibly and in great glory._ 2. When the Lord comes in His glory, the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the earth and all the works therein shall be burned up. 2 Pet. 3,10. _The Last Day, the end of this world, will then have come._ On this Last Day our Lord will come to _"judge the quick and the dead."_ Christ has been ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. Acts 10,42. He will judge the _quick,_ that is, those who are still living when He comes. He will judge the dead. On that day all the dead will rise again and will be brought before the Lord to be judged by Him.
