Where does Jesus come at the second coming, and for whom?
At the second coming, He comes to the Mount of Olives, to the nation of Israel, as King of kings and Lord of lords—not for the church. He comes for His body, the body of Christ, as Savior and head of the body, not as King.
Les explains that our citizenship is in heaven, and from that same heaven we look for the Savior, not the King. He emphasizes that at the second coming Christ will come to the Mount of Olives, to the nation of Israel, as King of kings and Lord of lords, but not for the church. Instead, He comes for His body, the body of Christ, as the Savior and head of the body, not as King. The context adds that He will change our vile, corrupt body, a metamorphosis, fashioning it like His glorious body. Les says to study the 40 days of Christ’s resurrection to glimpse the resurrected body: He appeared normal, walked, and was invited in, then suddenly vanished.
