I hope that Christians are not expecting Jesus' 2nd Coming but instead expecting the Rapture. 1 Corinthians 15-51. The bible says that Christ will return with his bride (The Church) at his 2nd coming because we (The Church) left before in the RAPTURE. If you miss the RAPTURE you are here to be judged.

Amen Robert. We are the ones that are mentioned in Revelation chapter 19 who will be clothed in white (Wedding Garments), and we do come back with Him. I hope everyone likes white horses! Christ comes for His bride (Rapture) and this wedding takes place in heaven while the tribulation here on earth is still going on. And then Christ returns with us. I believe we are the armies that are mentioned in Chapter 19 that he brings with Him at His second coming.

"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: 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. Wherefore comfort one another with these words." 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17,18

This is the rapture and how it will come about. The second coming and the rapture are the same. We will meet Jesus whether dead or alive, when he returns. But regardless of how one believes the rapture takes place, when it takes place or where it takes place, the main thing is it WILL take place and we are instructed to watch and pray. Be ready. That is the main thing.
