Bruce,

Yes, you are correct to warn us not to be looking for the second coming of Jesus, with the holy angels, and the clouds of heaven, his return to the earth, but rather for our meeting with him in the air. Far too often, lately, the two are being confused by so many of us. Apparently we are not rightly dividing the word of truth, in order to discern the difference.

Yet, in both cases, the second coming, as well as the blessed hope, clouds are involved. With the second coming, he comes with the clouds, but with the blessed hope we are caught up in the clouds:

I Thessalonians 4:17 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.

However, I think that you may have already pointed this out, as well, in another post that you made.

Thank you,

Gino
