详细解答 Detailed Answer
使徒信经宣告基督「将来必从那里降临，审判活人、死人」。耶稣自己应许说：「你们必看见人子坐在那权能者的右边，驾着天上的云降临」（可14:62）。基督的再来不是可选的教义，而是基督教信仰的核心盼望。
关于末世的具体时间表——千禧年、大灾难、被提的次序——改革宗内部有不同理解（前千禧年、后千禧年、无千禧年）。但所有正统基督徒都同意以下核心真理：基督会亲自再来；死人会复活；所有人会接受审判；上帝会创造新天新地。
末世论的重点不是满足好奇心或制作时间表，而是激励我们忠心地生活。正因为基督要来，我们才要警醒等候（太24:42），忠心事奉（太25:14-30），并在盼望中忍耐（罗8:18-25）。
The Apostles' Creed declares Christ 'will come again to judge the living and the dead.' Jesus Himself promised: 'You will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven' (Mark 14:62). Christ's return is not an optional doctrine but the core hope of Christian faith.
Regarding specific end-times timelines — the millennium, great tribulation, order of the rapture — Reformed Christians hold different views (premillennialism, postmillennialism, amillennialism). But all orthodox Christians agree on core truths: Christ will return personally; the dead will be raised; all will face judgment; God will create a new heaven and new earth.
Eschatology's focus isn't satisfying curiosity or creating timelines but motivating faithful living. Because Christ is coming, we should watch and wait (Matt 24:42), serve faithfully (Matt 25:14-30), and endure in hope (Rom 8:18-25).
