Second Coming of Jesus Christ

First, no man knows the date and time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Also, the rapture is not the Second Coming. In fact, the raptured saints will return with Jesus Christ at the Second Coming. Jesus came the first time to seek that which was lost and to save the sinner from eternal damnation, He will come the second time to rule and reign, to judge and condemn those who have rejected Him and persecuted the saints.

After the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, when Christ first appears at the Second Coming He returns riding a white horse and is leading an army of saints, who are riding on white horses where white linen, to wage battle against the beast, the false prophet, the kings of the earth and their armies. His eyes are as fire and His has many crowns, He has a name written that no man knows. Christ gathers together the foul of the air to consume the flesh of the men that are about to be killed (Rev 19:11-21). Christ will land on the Mount of Olives and split it with half going to the north and half to the south (Zech 14:4). With the Word of God the armies are slain. Christ will come as a fast lightning goes from the east to the west, the sun shall be darkened and the moon will no longer reflect its light, stars will fall from heaven and the powers of the heaven shall be shaken. (Math 24:29-31). Christ will be KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS and rule from Jerusalem with a rod of iron. The saints will rule with him (Jude 14,15).
