And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Jude 14–15
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, spoke these words: “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, and to convict all who are ungodly”
Think about this for a moment, the very first prophecy spoken by a human being wasn’t about Bethlehem, the manger, or even the cross. It was about Jesus coming back. Before anyone imagined His first coming, Enoch was already pointing to the end of the story.
The Certainty of His Coming
Enoch didn’t speak like someone making predictions. He spoke like someone repeating a fact. God had revealed it, so he declared it. That matters for us because we live in a world full of uncertainty. We get used to things changing, promises being broken, and people letting us down. But God doesn’t operate like that. If He says it, you can count on it.
So every day that passes without His return isn’t proof He’s forgotten. It’s proof He’s patient. He’s giving the world one more chance, one more day, one more open door.
The Company of His Coming
Enoch saw Jesus returning “with ten thousands of His saints.” In other words, Jesus won’t be returning alone. He will be surrounded by those who belong to Him. His coming will be His unveiling, but it will also be ours.
That’s a big deal, because it means our faith is not just about trying to live a little better now. It’s about living in light of what’s guaranteed to come. When Christ is revealed, His people will be revealed with Him. That’s who you really are, even if today you feel overlooked, unimportant, or stuck.
The Purpose of His Coming
Jude says He comes “to execute judgment.” That sounds heavy. And it is. For people who have rejected Him, that day will expose everything. But if you’ve trusted Jesus, that judgment already happened at the cross. The charges were nailed there. The penalty was carried there. Nothing is left hanging over you.
So for you, His coming is not about fear. It’s about being made fully known for who you already are in Him, redeemed, forgiven, and loved.
The Comfort of His Coming
The truth is that life can be confusing, unfair, and even cruel right now. Sometimes it feels like evil gets the last word. But Enoch’s prophecy reminds us that’s not how the story ends. Jesus will return. Justice will be done. And His people will share in His victory.
So the question isn’t if He will return. That’s settled. The question is whether you’re living in light of it. Are you prepared? Are you aligning your life today with the reality of His return tomorrow?
Because on that day, every disguise will fall. For some, His return will mean judgment. For others, it will mean joy. But for everyone, it will reveal the same truth: Jesus is Lord.
