    'In the same manner'

    "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight." ( Acts 1.9-11)

    The testimony of two is true. "two men stood by them in white apparel;/Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." This cloud we see in an earlier vision of Daniel." behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him."(Dan.7.10) The same is elaborated by Jude to say it is judgment time. "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,/ To execute judgment upon all" To execute judgment upon all. So Christ comes not by himself but with clouds of witnesses (with so great a cloud of witnesses,-Heb.12.1) (Jude v.15)

    " When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory."(Mt.25.31) He is not seated on the right hand of the Most High but the throne of his glory.Note here it is not the day of salvation but that of the day of regeneration..

    This day is part of the day decreed for the Son (Ps.2.6) Now is the day of salvation is with regards to the divine Will of God who says, "Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool./The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies." (Ps.110-1-2) What we read in Rev.19 is the culmination of it. This rod is to smash the nations to smithereens. It is also called day of the Lord. (Rev.19.14-15)

    "And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean."The army of saints are the clouds, chariots of God.Ps.104.3. This shall be followed by the day of regeneration. Before this there shall be a big clean-up Rev.19.16-17
