Where does it say “Second Coming” in the Bible. If you can show me that, I can answer your question.

Men have added words, such as Second Coming and Rapture, which are not Biblical and lead people to false expectations.

Jesus was clear in His discussions before Pilot, when He answered his disciples’ question about when this would happen, and in the first verse of Revelation: He would return with vengeance upon those who persecuted Him. Nowhere does this modify his appearance at the end of time.

You could answer the question now. Which denomination or sect are you affiliated with ? Are you too embarrassed to reveal it ?

Jesus talked many times about coming again - i.e., a “second coming” - not sure why this is difficult to understand. As for rapture, see the following explanation - it is just a transliteration of a Latin word for a Greek phrase in the New Testament

There are too many people that fall for the secular worlds uninformed arguments - a little Google searching can help clear things up.

For the record, the word “rapture” comes from the Latin word rapturo, which is a translation of the Greek verb “caught up” that’s found in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. You can call it the “pre-trib rapture,” the “pre-trib rapturo,” or the “pre-trib caught up” - it’s all the same thing.
