Absolutely. It is a certainty, and when He comes back, He will take the faithful members of His body home with Him to heaven.

Check your Bible again. Yes, there will be a Rapture, but that's just to Resurrect the dead and get us out of the way of the Day of the Lord. Afterwards, He will return with us in tow and rule over the earth from Jerusalem, directly and bodily.

Shalom!

Christ’s kingdom is a spiritual kingdom and not of this world (John 18:36). Also, Scripture teaches that Christ will reign as king and function as priest at the same time from His throne (Zechariah 6:12-13). Scripture teaches that Christ will do neither of these things while on the earth.

We know from Jeremiah 22:24-30 that no descendant Jehoiachin will ever again rule from the physical throne of David. Jesus is one of his descendants through both Joseph and Mary. We also know from Hebrews 7:14 and Hebrews 8:4 that Christ could not function as high priest while on the earth because He is not descended from the priestly tribe.
