Abstract :
The return of Jesus Christ, which is interpreted as the second coming or parousia, is a Christian belief that this idea is based on prophecies and is part of Christian eschatology. There are differences of opinion among Christian sects regarding this view. In the New Testament, the return of Jesus is mentioned and in it terms like: arrival, coming or presence are mentioned and that event is defined as "savior" and "incarnation" of God. According to the New Testament Bible, the return of Jesus to earth will be a glorious event that will appear with events. The Second Coming is mentioned in the Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed. In the following centuries, the issue of the return of Jesus Christ in the Protestant circles also has debates and reform actions, especially because in the Lutheran and Anglican rites it is mentioned as the second return that Jesus will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. According to Anglicans' belief, we experience the signs and evidences of Christ's return in the world and in our current life, which we clearly witness in the Eucharist. According to them, the return is in justice and peace and this fact must be realized. Finally, there is the belief and expectation of the return of Jesus in the end times. In this essay, prominent cases of apocalyptic beliefs of Christianity, especially in the Anglican denomination, are examined.
