Answer: No, I certainly do not believe that the Son of man has already come. I do believe that the Son of man has revealed Himself in the same way and with the same sign of the Messiah through the prophetic ministry, as He did when He walked on this earth (Lk. 17:30). In Jn. chapter 1 it happened with Nathanael and Simon Peter; in Jn. 4 with the woman at the well; in Mt. 21 with the disciples, who brought the foal and the ass to Him, so that Zech. 9:9 would be fulfilled. The coming that is spoken of in Lk. 21:27 is not at all in connection with the coming of the Bridegroom to take the Bride home before the great tribulation. That coming of the Son of man will take place after the tribulation, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light … and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven (not on earth) and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and great glory.” (Mt. 24:29-30; Mk. 13:24-32; Luk. 21:25‑33). This certainly has not yet happened. This coming must also be compared with Dan. 7:13 and Rev. 1:7, “Behold, He cometh with the clouds and every eye shall see Him, and they also who pierced him; and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” This great event will include all the nations and especially the Jews, as they are the ones who will look upon Him Whom they have pierced (Zech. 12:10).
