Are There Really
Three Comings of Christ?

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 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: 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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (KJV)

I believe that our Lord Jesus came to us to save us, (His incarnation), and that He shall come again (Second Coming), and that this Second Coming shall be divided in two distinct parts. The FIRST part, I believe to be His Coming at the Rapture for the church . . . His people, the dead in Christ (1 Thes.4:17) and those still alive when He comes in the clouds. I do not think that this Coming [the Rapture] will be seen by unbelievers, for Jesus will come in the clouds, NOT to the Earth. The SECOND part of His Second Coming is for the Jews, and unbelievers shall definitely see Him.

Zechariah 14:1-4 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. (KJV)

Revelation 19:11-21 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21 And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. (KJV)

The Three Comings of Christ

Most professing Christians today recognize only "Two Comings" of our Lord Jesus Christ. They all look back to the "First Coming" as a babe in the manger. They all are looking forward to His "Second Coming" which they believe is at the end of the World . . . the end of time itself. But I firmly believe that the Holy Scriptures plainly teaches "Three Comings":

The First Coming . . . to Redeem His Bride, and dress her in His righteousness.
The Second Coming . . . FOR His Bride at the Rapture, as a thief in the night.
The Third Coming . . . WITH His Bride, to execute Judgment.

The Jews missed His first Coming by looking for His third Coming . . . a King coming in Glory to sit on the throne of David. They were not looking for a "babe" in a manger, a Shepherd, a sinless Lamb Sacrifice to redeem them from their sins (Isaiah 53). They were looking for a King to deliver them from Roman domination. In today’s time, the Gentiles are making the same mistake Israel did . . . they are looking for His third coming to sit up His Kingdom on Earth. Most people simply overlook, or reject His Coming FOR the His Bride and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in another period of time.

Matthew 25:10-13 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (KJV)
Revelation 19:7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. (KJV)

When the Earth goes through the prophesied Great Tribulation, people will be looking for His Coming WITH His Bride (the Saints) to the Earth to execute judgment. Jude 1:14-15 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. (KJV)

Our awesome God is hidden and revealed in simplicity. Jesus rebuked the Jews: Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?(KJV) Mark 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? (KJV)
And too, regarding The Second Coming of our Lord Jesus we would do well to heed Jesus' warning: John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (KJV) . . . Only by sincerely searching the Scriptures with a Spiritual heart will we ever come to a greater understanding of the Second Coming (Rapture) and be ready for it.

It seems that everything in the Bible runs in threes, and I believe there are three comings of the Lord Jesus. The First Coming is past (Luke 1; 2:1-7); the Second Coming is the Rapture.

John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (KJV)

1 Corinthians 15:51-54 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (KJV)

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 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: 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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (KJV)

The Rapture is the Second Coming when the saints meet Christ Jesus in the air; and the Third Coming is when He returns to the Earth with the saints to rule with an iron hand (Ps.2), and reign a thousand years (Rev.20).
Also note that the term "trinity" (in threes) is used in reference to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and refers to the "three Persons" in the Godhead. I truly do believe that the Comings of the Lord is perfected in "three". WHICH Coming are you looking for?

THE THREE COMINGS OF JESUS

There are multitudinous signs in the world today that indicate the nearness of the return of Jesus Christ to planet earth. A study of those signs is very important, but most people today want no part of God and His Word. I will simply state what I believe about HOW Jesus shall return. I believe it will be in stages. The more I study God's Word, the more firmly I stand on this. , etc.? Does He come secretly, visibly, or what? And what about the "Rapture"? Is it scriptural? Are Christians to be taken or left? And if taken, where to? And for how long? I hope that this study will clear up many of these and other questions; I have chosen to divide the material into three sections:

The Coming of Jesus TO His saints. The Incarnation.
The Coming of Jesus FOR His saints. The Rapture, in the clouds.
The Coming of Jesus WITH His saints. His Coming TO the Earth.

My only desire is to let the Truth of the Bible bring comfort and joy to your heart, and challenge you to do more study of this very important subject. I am human so I make no claim to know everything on this or any other Scriptural Truth.

We are living in the Last Days. We all must watch as we wait for the Coming of the Lord Jesus at the Rapture.
