Parousia

Parousia refers to the anticipated second coming of Jesus Christ, a foundational concept in Christian eschatology. It signifies the moment when Jesus is expected to return to Earth in glory, to establish God's kingdom fully, judge humanity, and bring about the fulfillment of God's promises. The term emphasizes the presence and arrival of Christ rather than just his physical return. Believers see it as a future event that will usher in a new era of peace and righteousness. In essence, Parousia is the awaited, divine return of Jesus that signals the culmination of biblical prophecy.
