Since the day man sinned in the Garden of Eden, the whole of history has been moving toward one tremendous event: The day when Jesus Christ returns to this world in power and glory to reign on the throne of David, Isa. 9:7; Luke 1:32.
The first part of His return is when He comes to claim His people. They will be caught up to meet Jesus in the clouds and be taken to Heaven, John 14:1-3; 1 Cor. 15:51-52; 1 Thes. 4:13-17.
It will be so sudden and so swift that people won’t know what has happened.
When Jesus returns the second time in glory and power with his saints, everyone, everywhere will know about it, Rev. 1:7. He will judge and rein the earth on the throne of David. Read Revelation 19.
Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

“The marketplace is empty — No more traffic n the streets. — All the builders' tools are silent — No more time to harvest wheat. — Busy housewives cease their labors, — In the courtroom no debate. — Work on earth is all suspended As the King comes thro' the gate.
“O the King is coming, — The King is coming. — I just heard the trumpets sounding — And now His face I see. — The King is coming, — The King is coming. — Praise God, He's coming for me.
“Happy faces line the hallways, — Those whose lives have been redeemed. — Broken homes that He has mended — Those from prison He has freed. — Little children and the aged, — Hand in hand stand all aglow, — Who were crippled, broken, ruined, — Clad in garments white as snow
“I can hear the chariots rumble. — I can see the marching throng. — The flurry of God's trumpets — Spells the end of sin and wrong. — Regal robes are now unfolding, — Heaven's grandstand's all in place. — Heaven's choir is now assembled, — Start to sing "Amazing Grace".
