The Second Coming (sometimes called the Second Advent or the Parousia) is the Christian and Islamic belief that Jesus Christ will return to Earth after his ascension to Heaven (the Ascension is said to have occurred about two thousand years ago). The idea is based on messianic prophecies and is part of most Christian eschatologies. In Islamic eschatology, Jesus (ʿĪsā ibn Maryam) is also believed to return in the end times. According to Islamic belief, he will descend from Heaven to defeat the false messiah (al-Masih ad-Dajjal), break the cross,[Sahih al-Bukhari 2476] restore justice, and reaffirm monotheism. His return is regarded as one of the major signs of the Day of Judgment, and he is viewed not as divine but as a revered prophet in Islamic theology. Other faiths have various interpretations of it. Some minor religious movements, e.g. the Church of the Last Testament, believe that the founder of a given religious group was a next incarnation of the Jesus Christ.
