p.2 When He appears. Titus.2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the (glorious) (appearing) of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. (That blessed hope verse tells us his (glorious) (appearing), He (appears) with power and great (glory) in Mt.24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation, we will be changed, and appear with Him in glory) 1.Thes.4:14-17 (14) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so then also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. (Those who believed in Jesus and have already died will appear with Jesus in the clouds to gather together His elect) (15) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. (16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (This trump of God has to be the (last trump) in 1.Cor.15:52 because that's when we are changed, we are fashioned like unto His glorious body.) The word (last) is #2078; it means farthest, final, (of place or time), ends of, latter end. (The last trump is not (before) the tribulation if we believe the true meaning of the word last, its the farthest one out) (17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be (caught up) together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (We are caught up to meet Jesus in the clouds when He (appears) we are taken from the earth. (Where are we taken?) We are taken to the marriage supper of the Lamb. (see.Rev.19:7-9) (The return of Jesus in Rev.19:11-16 is Him coming from heaven TO THE EARTH riding a white horse, NOT COMING IN THE CLOUDS to gather together anybody, but we come back with Him. The wife is wearing fine linen, clean and white at the marriage supper, (see.Rev.19:8) The armies that follow Him upon white horses are clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (see.Rev.19:14)
