If you go back and read my post,you will see that you yourself made my point exactly.
Pay particular attention to "like manner"
Postribs have it all wrong as you have demonstrated.
No actually the scriptures prove the fallacy of your misguided argument...there is only one coming and to DENY the connection between all of the verses the say the same thing is not only foolish, but to be frank ignorant! Pay attention to the bolded and the word COME and or COMING...!
Really.....
Disciples see him
come in the clouds with power and great glory...Acts 1:11
Religious lost see him
come in the clouds with power and great glory...Matthew 26:64
Every Eye shall see him
come with the clouds including the Jews....Revelation 1:7
All the tribes of the earth shall see him c
ome in the clouds with power and great glory...Matthew 24:30
Immediately AFTER the GREAT TRIBULATION of those days Matthew 24:29-31
Matthew 24:31 ANGELS gather the ELECT from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other at the sounding of the GREAT trump (AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION OF THOSE DAYS
MARK 13:24-27 AFTER the GREAT TRIBULATION, SUN being darkened and Stars of heaven falling they
shall SEE the SON of MAN coming in the clouds with power and great glory and THE ANGELS gather the ELECT from the four winds, from the UTTERMOST part of the earth and the heaven
LUKE 21:25-27 AFTER signs in the sun, moon and stars and the powers f the heavens being shaken THEY shall
see the SON of MAN coming in a cloud with power and great GLORY and disciples told to look up for their REDEMPTION draweth NIGH.....
Jesus...
a) WAS<---past tense
b. IS<----present tense
c. IS TO COME<--future tense
THERE is but ONE (1) coming (parousia/body presence of Christ) and our gathering together unto HIM and according to MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, REVELATION, THESSALONIANS, DANIEL...HE COMES AFTER the great tribulation of THOSE days....there is no invisible, imminent return of Christ where the saints disappear en masse and everybody wonders where we went.......
2nd Thessalonians 2:1-3 PAUL writes clearly that the
COMING (PAROUSIA/BODY PRESENCE) of CHRIST and OUR GATHERING together UNTO HIM SHALL NOT come until two things have taken PLACE
1. THE APO-HYSTAMIE of humanity I.E. The complete apostatization of humanity.......
2. THE MAN of SIN be revealed the SON of PERDITION<---the BEAST A.K.A. Anti-Christ (SO CALLED)
The parable of the WHEAT and TARES also jive this as GOD begins to MOVE against the TARES first before the ANGELS as the REAPERS gather the WHEAT (SAVED) into HIS barn........
The rewarding of the SAINTS, PROPHETS and those who FEAR GOD takes PLACE at the 7th TRUMP, the LAST TRUMP when the DAY of CHRIST commences with the DAY of the LORD and the DAY of GOD
The siege and fall of JERICHO which represents ISRAEL'S first VICTORY after coming out of the wilderness of SIN when charted MATCHES the order of the SEALS and TRUMPETS precisely as found in REVELATION...INCLUDING the hidden thunders found within the 7 trumpets and the verbiage of 1st Thessalonians and 1st Corinthians testimony of the resurrection/change...
The trumpets sound as the TRUMP, SHOUT, ASCENSION and VICTORY........
I suggest you guys chunk the imminent return theology and re-evaluate based upon facts.....I used to believe the imminent return until I started seeing scriptures that contradicts it like the above.......
