We meet Him in the air to welcome him back to Earth. There is no Third coming. When Yeshua was taken back to Heaven after the Crucifixion and the disciples were looking up at him leaving, didn’t an angel say that He would return the same way? No hidden secret coming back, that all the Earth would see Him return?
There are TWO comings. The first ended when Jesus ascended to The Father. The second will be at the end of the Tribulation. The Rapture is not a ‘touch down on planet Earth event. WE go to meet Him and according to Jesus in John 14 go then with Him to the Father’s House where He has been preparing a place for us. We return to the Earth with Jesus at His second coming touch down before setting up His Kingdom.
