HE WILL APPEAR A SECOND TIME 
KJV Hebrews 9:27-28
27.  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
 28.  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

THE TRIALS OF OUR FAITH WILL BE FOUND IN PRAISE AND HONOR
KJV 1 Peter 1:7
 7.  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

HE WILL KEEP HIS PROMISE AND COME AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
KJV 2 Peter 3:9-10
 9.  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
 10.  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

WE WILL BE MADE LIKE HIM IN SPIRIT
KJV 1 John 3:2
2.  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM COMING
KJV Revelation 1:7
7.  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

HE SHALL APPEAR AS HE WENT (ASSENDED)
KJV Acts 1:9-11
9.  And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
 10.  And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11. Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? 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.

NO ONE KNOWS WHEN 
KJV Matthew 24:36-42
 36.  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
 37.  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 38.  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
 39.  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
 40.  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
 41.  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
 42.  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come..

WHEN HE COMES THE DEAD IN CHRIST WILL FIRST RISE AS HE COMES WITH A SHOUT
KJV 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
 16.  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
 17.  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
 18.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

WE WILL ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST
KJV 2 Corinthians 5:10-11
10  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11  Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

EVERY KNEE WILL BOW TO CHRIST
KJV Romans 14:11-12
 11.  For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
 12.  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

CHRIST WILL COME AND JUDGE ALL TO EITHER ETERNAL LIFE OR DAMNATION
KJV Matthew 25:31-46
 31.  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
 32.  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
 33.  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
 34.  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
 35.  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
 36.  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
 37.  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
 38.  When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
 39.  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
 40.  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
 41.  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
 42.  For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
 43.  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
 44.  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
 45.  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
 46.  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

THERE WILL BE A VEGEANCE ON THOSE THAT KNOW NOT THE LORD
KJV 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8
 7.  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
 8.  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

HELL IS A LAKE OF FIRE
KJV Revelation 21:8
8.  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

THOSE NOT IN THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE WILL ENTER THE LAKE OF FIRE
KJV Revelation 20:15
15.  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
 

THERE WILL BE NO DARKNESS IN HEAVEN
KJV Revelation 22:1-5
1.  And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
 2.  In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
 3.  And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
 4.  And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
 5.  And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

NO TEARS OR SUFFERING
KJV Revelation 21:4
4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

FEW WILL FIND HEAVEN
KJV Matthew 7:13-14
 13.  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
 14.  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

KJV Matthew 7:21-23
 21.  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
 22.  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF CHRIST, YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE THE MANY THE ARE HEADING TO DESTRUCTION TO HEAR THE WORDS “I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIGUITY”.
