Actual year of the second coming of Jesus

Legit.ng earlier reported that a pastor has publicly declared that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will occur in the year 2026, citing biblical scripture to support his claim.

The prediction was made in a YouTube video, where he referenced various verses from the Bible to consolidate his timeline. The pastor did not provide a specific day or month but was firm in his assertion that 2026 marks the return of Christ. “Jesus is coming back in 2026,” he stated, quoting passages from both the Old and New Testaments to reinforce his interpretation.

The Second Coming—also known as the Second Advent or the Parousia—is a central belief in Christian eschatology. It refers to the anticipated return of Jesus Christ to Earth following his ascension to Heaven nearly two millennia ago.
