In Mat. 24:29-30, our Lord said, “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: 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 power and great glory.” (Mat. 24:29-30).

This coming falls into the time span after the Rapture, even after the time of tribulation, and has absolutely nothing to do with the Bride Church. It is in direct connection to the sixth seal, which introduces the day of the Lord. For there it states: “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood …” (Rev. 6:12).

Already in Rev. 1:7 it is announced as follows: “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”

Also the Jews will then wail, thus it is written in Zec. 12:10b: “… and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son …”

In each Scripture is the key to the event that is taking place. It is easy to recognize when it is about another coming and not about the Return of Jesus Christ to take His Bride home. This also applies to Mat. 25:31-46: “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats ...”

In 2. Ths. 1:7-8 it once again speaks of another coming: “And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Also the coming in Rev. 16 has nothing to do with the Rapture of the Bride Church. During the sixth vial and the preparation for the battle of Armageddon, the warning goes forth: “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” (v. 15). It is in connection with the day of the Lord, as can be seen from the following Scripture: “For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.” (1. Ths. 5:2). Here it is about Israel, just as in Zec. 14, when the Lord comes and steps with His feet upon the Mount of Olives.

The Lord addressed the Word in Lk. 12 to those who shall be ready when He comes down after the marriage supper: “And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.” (v. 36). God’s Word is perfect! Amen.
