Jesus' Bodily Return-is Spiritual-He Returns in His New Spiritual Body

The theological term is the “bodily coming” of Jesus Christ. This is not physical. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Christ showed forth a physical body after His resurrection only for the purposes of demonstrating the fact He had risen from the dead. But that was not His resurrected body He received when He rose from the dead at the foundation of the world.

The Bible tells us when we are resurrected that we will receive a new resurrected SPIRITUAL body:

1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

And since our new resurrected bodies will be patterned after Christ’s own body-Jesus had to have a resurrected spiritual body Himself:

1 John 3: 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

And,

Philippians 3: 21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

This changes everything insofar as ‘seeing’ Jesus coming in the clouds is concerned. While it is true that Jesus shewed forth a body during His first coming in order to manifest the atonement performed at the foundation of the world; and while it is also true He showed forth a physical body after His resurrection for the same reason-we should not expect this to be the case when it comes to His final appearing as the Judge of this world.

Spiritual things (like Christ’s resurrected body from the foundation of the world) are invisible things. Physical things (like our earthly bodies) are visible things. Therefore, God accomplishing a spiritual judgment beginning with the churches, and transitioning on the whole world on the date of May 21, 2011 is befitting the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ-in His new spiritual body form.

Matthew 24: 30 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.

Christ has come already-like a thief in the night. First to judge the churches in a prolonged period of judgment. And then to judge the world, also in a prolonged period of judgment. His coming has been in the clouds. Do you know what clouds represent in the Bible? They represent the commandments of God (see Numbers chapter 9). Christ has come in His commandments. And His commandments are found in the Bible. Christ has come on the pages of the Bible as God has revealed His coming to His elect. You see knowing matters of time and judgment is essential for ‘seeing’ His coming in the clouds.

John 12: 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: THE WORD that I have spoken, the same SHALL JUDGE HIM in the last day.

While you’re waiting for that ‘physical’ last day-sorrowfully you’re missing the entire 40 (inclusive) year second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. You’re not seeing (understanding) it. And by not seeing it you are not in good company because neither are the unsaved masses of the world and church seeing it.
