He left in the clouds at the ascension. The angels told the witnesses that he will come back in the same manor as he left. Not on a computer but in the clouds. Enoch saw him returning with his saints. 31And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. They are already in Heaven with him because he has met them in the air and Caught them Away or Raptured them off of the Earth Prior to the Great Tribulation.(He will not let Lucifer kick his bride around anymore) The Bride is in the Wedding Chamber with the Groom. He will be coming back with them and the Hosts of Heaven to set up his Kingdom on Earth for 1000yrs while Lucifer is enchained in the earth. The Bride or his Church or Body will assist in his ruling the Earth with an Iron Rod. Isaiah 9:6 6For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Denise, on Matthews 24:30

In American Churchianity, which has spread all over the globe, there is a teaching out there called the rapture. Much energy goes into debating when this event is suppose to happen and those who oppose the main stream idea tend to be bashed. However I'd encourage you all to think about what Jesus said would happen at the end of this age. In Matthew 13: 24-30, Jesus rather clearly says both the weeds and the good wheat shall remain together until harvest time, then the weeds shall be bound, and after the binding the good wheat is gathered into the barn.

I believe the rapture is for the end of the next age. And for this age, it is time for the church to focus on coming to fruition so that it is harvest time.
