Yes, and I look forward to it. Not that I am in any way prepared for it or worthy to be present, but in spite of my unworthiness I have hope, and I can't help but look forward to our Savior's presence and a time of peace and righteousness.
Isaiah 11
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the dearth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
Doesn't that sound lovely?

Yes, I believe in the “second coming” because Jesus’ first coming was his birth in 4 BCE in Bethlehem and, whenever anyone asks him into their heart as his or her Lord and Savior, he comes in (Rev.3:20) and THAT is the “second coming!” Always has been, always will be. To fantasize otherwise is to confuse allegory with reality.
