Will church-age saints attend Christ's second coming?
Yes. Revelation 19 presents the armies in heaven following Christ on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. The context identifies this company as those attending His Second Coming, and the church-age saints are included in that returning company.
Les teaches that Revelation 19:7-8 first describes the marriage of the Lamb, when the wife has made herself ready and is granted fine linen, clean and white, which is the righteousness of the saints. Then Revelation 19:14 shows the armies in heaven following Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Les explains that this does not mean a military assortment but a congregation, and he feels it is the church-age saints. He says "we're now included in that company that will attend His Second Coming, that is returning to earth." He also ties this together with tribulation saints ruling and reigning with Christ for a thousand years, and says "but we are."
