Micah 5:2 is talking about Christ’s second coming to the New Jerusalem after the battle of Armageddon at the end of the tribulation. He will then reign on this earth for 1000 years.

I think you are right CB, but the passage does say "whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. It seems that Jesus Christ is not limited to 2 visits to Earth.

CB if you are arguing that there is no rapture then who comprises the Bride of Christ and when does the marriage of the Lamb occur? In Rev. 19 the wedding occurs prior to Jesus returning with His Army and the Army He returns with is wearing the same clothing of fine white linen.

>> It seems that Jesus Christ is not limited to 2 visits to Earth.<<

Spiritually no. Physical presence on earth however is twice according to scripture.

>> CB if you are arguing that there is no rapture<<

Absolutely not. The rapture will happen and I believe prior to the 7 year tribulation. The rapture however occurs “in the air” and Jesus does not descend “to the earth”.

>> In Rev. 19 the wedding occurs prior to Jesus returning with His Army and the Army He returns with is wearing the same clothing of fine white linen.<<

Yes it does. Compare the Jewish wedding traditions of the wedding, then the 7 days that the bride and groom are away from the public. Then they emerge to begin their lives in public.
