See also: Messiah#Christianity and Christian eschatologyChristian eschatology includes several views of the Messianic Age.
According to Realized eschatology, the Messianic Era, a time of universal peace and brotherhood on the earth, without crime, war and poverty, is already here. With the death of Christ himself, according to ancient roman jurisdiction on the cross, the Messianic Era had begun and will only be fulfilled by the parusia of Christ. The Book of Revelation refers to the "unveiling" or "revelation" of Jesus Christ as Christian Messiah in the apocalypse or end of the world.
The Nicene Creed expresses the belief that Christ ascended to Heaven, where he now sits at the Right Hand of God and will return to earth at the Second Coming of Christ to establish the Kingdom of God of the World to Come.

Famous quotes containing the word christianity:
“Anybody can be virtuous now. You can carry at least half your morality about in a bottle. Christianity without tears—that’s what soma is.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbours. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbour as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbour.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
