The Second Coming of Christ; is in two stages;

1. 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. 1 Thes. 4:16-17 KJV .
2. 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. Acts 1:11 . To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 1 Thes. 3:13 KJV . 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. Rev. 1:7 KJV.

The Final Judgement. There will be a final judgement in which the dead will be raised and will be judged according to their works. Whosever is not found written in the Book of life together with the devil and his angels, the beast and the false prophets will be consigned to everlasting punishment in the Lake of fire and brimstone which is the second death. (Matt. 25:46, Heb. 9:27 , Rev. 19:20, Rev. 20:10-15, Rev. 21:1-27).

The New Heaven and the New Earth. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. (2 Peter 3:13 Rev. 21:1-27).
