Hebrews 9:27–28
The Messiah will appear a second time, now to save those who wait for him
Study it word by word27And just as it is appointed for human beings to die once, and after this judgment,
28so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await him, for salvation.
In its context
25nor did he enter to offer himself many times, as the high priest enters into the Holy Place every year with blood not his own,
26for then it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times since the foundation of the world; but now once at the end of the ages he has been revealed for the setting aside of sin by his sacrifice.
