>> 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.

There is an excellent explanation here: http://bridalcovenant.com/wedding1.html

Thanks for the clarification, I misunderstood your earlier discussion.

Thanks for the link, I'll look at it. It is inspiring to me how the LORD establishes patterns of behavior on a micro level that we then see play out on a macro level. Another example that comes to mind is the garden (the LORD interacting in a direct physical one on one basis with humans) and our living in the new Jerusalem at the end of the age.
