And so when Jesus came and appeared to His disciples (after the resurrection), was not that a “coming” or “appearance” as well?

I think you are reading what others are saying, rather than reasoning from the scriptures for yourself.

Jesus is not a created being. He is God, himself, in the flesh, shown to us through the Trinity. As such, when any have beheld God, they have seen Jesus. For in Him, the fullness of the Godhead dwells (Col 2:9. That is to say, God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit do not have bodies in the likeness of men, only Jesus has that body.

I the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God......The Word became flesh and lived among us....(John 1:1)

Jesus is not limited by our understanding. He can come and go as He pleases.
And as Micah 5:2 states, He has been doing FOREVER.

No, that was His ascension to heaven.

So you don’t believe there will be a 1000 year reign of Christ on this earth after the Tribulation? Oh, and I get that from scripture not “reading what others say”. Reading what others say leads to many errors if not checked with scripture.

Um Yeah, and He gave us lot’s of information in the prophecies in scripture.

>>Jesus is not limited by our understanding.<<

You would be correct there.

>>He can come and go as He pleases.<<

He set a plan, made some promises, and told us what they were in scripture. He didn’t allow us to know the day or the hour but other than that He was pretty clear to anyone who wants to know.
