CHRIST SECOND COMING-THE GLORIOUS APPEARANCE

Acts 1:9-12 "Now when He had spoken these things,while they watch,He was taken up,and a cloud received Him out of their sigth.And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up,behold two men stood by them in white apparel,who said,"Men of Galilee,why do you stand gazing up in heaven?This same Jesus,who was taken up from you into heaven,will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven".Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet,which is near Jerusalem,a sabbath day's journey"

The second coming of Jesus Christ with His glorious appearance is a biblical infallible doctrine which need to be taught again and again to the Church today.Two angels testified and spoke to His disciples that this same Jesus that was taken up into heaven will come come down again in "like manner"and therefore we know that Jesus Christ will return from heaven and come down to earth on the same mountain that is called mount of Olive. Christ's glorious appearance is the second phase of His second coming in glory.He will appear from heaven publicly ,returning as the King of Kings and Lord of Lord,together with His elected saints to judge and rule the world.Jesus is coming to set up His millennial Kingdom on earth .

Old testament prophets has prophesied about His coming and so does prophets in the New testament.
"Now Enoch,the seventh from Adam,prophesied about these men also saying,"Behold,the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,to execute judgment on all,to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way,and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him" Prophet Enoch (Jude 1:14-15)

"Behold, He is coming with clouds,and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him.Even so.Amen"Rev 1:7 (Apostle & Prophet John)
The Lord Jesus Himself prophesied of His glorious return when He mentioned it during His Olivet discourse as such "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven,and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn,and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.And He will send His angels with a great sound of trumpet,and they will gather together the elect from the four winds,from one end of heaven to the end"Matthew 24:30-31

Here we find that the second installment of the Rapture will occur as Christ gathers all His elect from all over the earth.Many Bible scholars indicated that Jesus will rapture the Tribulation saints still living together with the Tribulation saints whose souls are under the altar (Rev 6).This second instalment of Rapture might occur just before the marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev19:5-10)while the Old testament saints as indicated in the Book of Daniel (Daniel 12:1-2,13) will be resurrected on or before the glorious appearance of our Lord.When all this events occurs,it will leave the earth being inhabited only by the unsaved when Christ return as the judge and King to reign for a thousand years.
His 1000 years Millennial Kingdom reign on earth was told to be the most exciting event in all Bible prophecy.The apostle John saw this vision of Christ and he wrote"As I saw thrones,and they sat on them,and judgement was committed to them.Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God,who had not worship the beast or his image,and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands.And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years" Revelation 20:4

GLORIOUS APPEARANCE'S TIMING?
Let me rehearse back the End time frame as a reminder.The first phase of His imminent return to rapture His church precede the 7 years Tribulation Period.The countdown of 7 seven years Tribulation started when the Antichrist sign a peace treaty with Israel for 7 years(Daniel 9:27).In the first quarter (Three and the half years)of the Tribulation,God's wrath of seven seals and seven trumpets of judgement will be poured out to earth (Rev 6:1-17,Rev 8:1-9:21).Then come the Great Tribulation period(The second quarter of three and the half years) where God will pour out the final seven vials/bowls of judgement to the earth (Rev 16:1-21)

It is therefore my belief that Christ's second coming of His glorious appearance will be after this 7 seven Tribulation period.We won't know the exact "timing"of this public appearance but we are certain that His glorious return will be after the completion of the 7 years Tribulation period.John saw Christ's glorious coming and prophesied:

"Now I saw heaven opened,and behold,a white horse.And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True,and in righteousness He judge and makes war.His eyes were like a flame of fire,and on His head were many crowns.He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.He was clothed with robe dipped in blood,and His name is called The Word of God.And the armies in heaven,clothed in fine linen,white and clean,followed Him in white horses.Now out of His mouth goes sharp sword,that with it He should strike the nations.And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.He Himself treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.And He has on His robes and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS,AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:11-16)

Christ's judgement causes the Devil to be bound and cast to the bottomless pit during Christ millennium reign on earth.(Rev 20:1-3).In this millennium kingdom of Christ,the saints together with the resurrected saints "shall be priest of God and of Christ,and shall reign with Him a thousand years"Rev 20:6a).I rejoice in the Lord over this revelation and I hope that I will be one of those chosen saints to be counted worthy to reign with Jesus in His millennium Kingdom.After the 1000 years reign has ended,come the "White Throne Judgment"of Christ (Rev 20:11-15).This judgement is only for the sinners.All books of God will be open on that day(The book of the Law,the book of Life,Books of man's work,Lamb's book of life).Christ will pronounce His judgement base on these four books for all the old and new testament sinners .They will know that His final judgment is infallibly justified and thus the ultimate eternal place for them is the lake of fire.(Rev 20:11-15).Then come the new heaven and new earth where Christ and His saints shall live forever and ever.Thus we shall be with Lord forever and ever (Rev 21-22).Amen!Come Lord Jesus!
