NAS Matthew 24:3 And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the
disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things
be, and what will be the sign of Your
coming, and of the end of the age?" (“sign of Your coming”) (Read Matthew
24:1-31. Noted are many deceptions and
world events in relation to the parousia of Christ.) (Read Matthew 24:32-44. Contained are encouragements to the Great Tribulation
Saint to be alert for the delivering parousia of Christ.
They will be reading along. Their
lives will be among the most unique—end of the Church Age Rapture observation,
7 years of Great Tribulation events, possible converts of the 144,000 evangelists,
Second Advent of Jesus Christ with His angels, judgement of the sheep and goats,
Millennial resuscitation of the earth, 1,000 years of Edenic life, a final Gog
and Magog Satan led war, a Great White Throne Judgement, a death skipping translation
to an eternal body, then observation of a new heaven and a new earth.) (Age
example: Not Raptured as a 60 year old + 7 years of Great Tribulation + 1,000
years of earthly Eden = 1,0067 years of earthly life and then a translation to
a resurrected body for heavenly life.)
27 "For just as the
lightning comes from the east, and flashes even to the west, so shall the
coming of the Son of Man be. (Lightning, coming, Son of Man) (No secret Second
Advent.)
37 "For the coming
of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. (Second Advent delusion.)
39 and they did not
understand until the flood came and took them all away; so
shall the coming of the Son of Man be. (Second Advent delusion.)
NAS 1 Corinthians 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the first
fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, (“those who are
Christ's at His coming”)
NAS 1 Corinthians 16:17 And I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus; because
they have supplied what was lacking on your part. (Helpful human presence.)
NAS 2 Corinthians 7:6 But God, who comforts the depressed, comforted us
by the coming of Titus; (Helpful human presence.)
7 and not only by his
coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he
reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I
rejoiced even more. (Helpful human presence.)
NAS 2 Corinthians 10:10 For they say, "His letters are weighty and
strong, but his personal presence is unimpressive, and his speech
contemptible." (Helpful human presence.)
NAS Philippians 1:26 so that your proud confidence in me may abound in
Christ Jesus through my coming to you again. (Helpful human presence.)

obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out
your salvation with fear and trembling; (Helpful human presence.)

exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His
coming? (“in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming”)

with all His saints”)
NAS 1 Thessalonians 4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord,
that we who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not
precede those who have fallen asleep. (Context: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 13 But we do not want you to be
uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as
do the rest who have no hope. 14
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with
Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we
who are alive, and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those
who have fallen asleep. 16
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of
God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall
always be with the Lord. 18
Therefore comfort one another with these words.) (The Rapture, Day of the Lord, Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be
unmistakable.)

our Lord Jesus Christ”)

coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to Him, (Context: 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 1Now we request you, brethren,

to Him, 2 that you may not be
quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message
or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has
come. 3 Let no one in any way
deceive you, for it will not come unless
the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of
destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called
god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God,
displaying himself as being God.)
(The context instructs that definitive lawless religious temple actions will
occur in Jerusalem before the Day of the Lord.)
8
And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by
the appearance of His coming; (The second coming of Jesus Christ will be
unmistakable.)
9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of
Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, (man of lawlessness, coming
is in accord with the activity of Satan)
NAS James 5:7 Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming

8 You too be patient;
strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. (Patient: “coming
of the Lord is at hand.”)
