there are 2 second comings of Christ.

Well, sort of. There is only OE Second Coming, but it is in two stages. His First Coming was uin two stages also, as was the giving of His Word. In the first stage of His First Coming, Jesus came as a Babe, God in the flesh, to his own, privately, about much of which we know little except the evidentiary signs that confirm ancient prophecy and of His conformance to the Mosaic/Daviduc Covenant under which He lived. Only Joseph and Mary were aware of His Deity.

In the second stage of His First Coming, John Baptist was appointed by God to announce Jesus' coming as Messiah, which was confirmed to him by the coming of the Holy Ghost and the Father's audible word, as he publicly baptized Jesus, and His public ministry of forgiveness of sins began.

In the same fashion, Jesus' Second Coming will be in two stages, the first being His appearance in the clouds FOR His Own, a private occurrence not immediately seen by the world of people generally. The saints then rising to meet Him will be all those souls regenerated in the Age of Grace, the end of which will be the cessation of the dwelling of the Holy Spirit within the believer, and is exactly why such reborn humans cannot go through the tribulation. It narks the moment when the Holy Spirit withdraws Himself, together within whom He dwells, from the world and into Heaven.

The second stage of His Second Coming WITH His Own, His Bride the Assembly of Spirit-born saints, during which "every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him" (Rev. 1:7). In that stage, he will begin by drawing the existing nations up for judging and disposal, faollowed by instituting His Kingdom of Righteousness and Peace across the entire globe, with the center of government being at Jerusalem, and its management under the descended David as His Viceroy.

Here is an heuristic graphical diagram illustrating the place of the Premillennial Rapture. You can follow this by reading more about it on this site:

Correction:

OE = ONE

Daviduc = Davidic

(hasty mistyping/poor copyreading)

Sorry
