And where is the Lord going? He’s coming to Earth to vanquish the Beast .... He’s not going back to Heaven and then come back to Earth ... that would make three times ...
Who says? He's coming to call His bride to Him. It's exactly what happens in the ancient Jewish wedding. When the father thinks all is ready he sends his son to get his bride ("only the father knows the day and the hour). The bride and the groom then spend 7 days secluded. At the end of that seven days the bride and groom then emerge and wedding feast is held.
I swear, some of these inane theories make Jesus sound like a celestial elevator. Down to earth, up to heaven, down to the clouds (but then stop, we have to go back up again), then back down to earth. I’ll stick with the sequence that the Bible describes and avoid these convolutions. He came, He’s in Heaven now, He will return.
