There are many scriptures which give detailed information of the order of Christ’s return. HE will not come as a pillar of fire, not as a rock, not as the Spirit, not as the Word, but as the Scripture says, “This same Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:11) Who dares to say something contrary to the Word of God? The same Jesus who suffered, who died, who was crucified, who rose on the third day, and who, after being with His disciples for 40 days, was taken up before their very eyes into heaven, the same Jesus will return as our Redeemer to receive the redeemed. We shall meet Him in person, and “see Him as He is” (I. John 3). All the other things have their place: the Spirit of God, the Word of God, the pillar of fire, all the manifestations, but we must stay with the subject and say what the Scripture says. We shall meet the LORD in the air. HE is not going to touch this earth when He comes to take His Bride home to the wedding supper (I. Thess. 4:17). Brother Branham made the fundamentally clear statement, “Jesus comes three times: the first time He came to redeem His church; the second time He comes to receive His church; the third time He comes with His church.” Then the millennial reign will be established.
