There is. threefold coming of Christ spoken of in the New Testament.

1. His coming in his spiritual kingdom by the preaching of the gospel among the Gentiles.

2. His coming to destroy Jerusalem forty years after his ascension.

3. His final coming to judgment at the great day.

All these comings of the Son of man, for their suddenness and unexpectedness, are compared unto lightning, which in. moment breaketh out of the east, and shineth unto the west.

Learn hence, That the coming and appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the judging of the wicked and impenitent sinners, will be. very certain, sudden, and unexpected appearance.
