to Brixer,
the Second Coming, with a New Name, is found written in Revelation 3,12 Isaiah 62,2
As for the second Coming we would go too far, so i will name just a few: Matt 25,19 Luke 19,13 2Peter 3 Rev 22,20 1 Tm 6,14-15 2 Thes 2,8 Matt 24,27 Matt 24,42 these are just a few.
The fact is that, a part from those verses which say "I will come back", the Prophecies of the Old T describe the Messiah, the Christ, "Annointed One", as a Suffering Lamb, and as a Conquering Lion. Since we have already seen the suffering Lamb, what are we waiting for if not for the Lion of Judah? furthermore, we are strenghtened by His Words that He would come again, what should we want more? then, the number two is very significative. Joseph was thrown the first time in the pit, the second time he arose: 2 times. the Laws are two. there is an Aplha (1), and there is an Omega (2) Rev 22,13. There is the last (1), there is the First (2), Rev 22, 13. There is Heaven (1), there is Earth (2). there is the priesthood of Levi (1), there is the kingdom of Judah (2) and so forth...
about the quote from the Acts, i say that Christ is always our High Priest Who forgives our sins, He has the same Powers of ever; the thing is just that He has the New Name, and now He has also the honours of the world, Rev 11,15. The Person is just the same, same Man, Son of man Christ, same Flesh, same Soul, Heart, Eyes, Nose etc..
