Hi, all! I need your nativespeakers’s help) I want to clarify the the difference between “is to come” and “is coming”. When we should use the first one and when the second one? Could you give me some examples?

Although both talk about the future, they are very different. “Is to come” is more of a hope or expectation. An example is “the best is yet to come”.
“Is coming” is more like a prediction, or informing you of what will happen soon.
“Where is his Lordship?”
“ He is (just) coming.”

Come : To move or travel towards or into a place. (VERB)
Coming: The act of arriving; an arrival. (ADJECTIVE)

Context is always important, but here are the basic uses.
Students are to arrive by 9 a.m. Monday. [obligation]
Students are arriving by 9 a.m. Monday. [arrangement]
Stusents are arriving (now). [action in progress]
