RESURRECTION OF THE JUST AND THE RETURN OF OUR LORD
- The angels said to Jesus’ disciples. “This same Jesus
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” His coming is
imminent. When He comes, “ . . . the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we
which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air . . . “ (Acts 1:11; I Thess. 4:16-17). Following the
Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords and
together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand
years ( Rev. 20:6).
