Imminent literal return of Christ; premillennial; visible to all

The True Jesus Church affirms the literal, visible, and imminent return of Jesus Christ to the earth. This second coming is understood as a real historical event in which Christ will descend from heaven with power and glory, visibly returning to judge the living and the dead. The timing of this event is presented as uncertain but near, motivating believers to maintain watchfulness and readiness.

The return of Christ is not understood as a purely spiritual or symbolic event but as a physical, bodily appearance that will be witnessed by all. This event will bring about the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment. The church teaches a premillennial eschatology, meaning that Christ will return before the millennium (the thousand-year reign mentioned in Revelation 20).

The imminence of the second coming is used to encourage believers to remain faithful to God's commands and to be prepared at all times for Christ's return. This doctrine also provides confidence that believers will not endure the full final judgment but will be vindicated when Christ appears.
