This is to be distinguished from Christ coming for His saints, though intimately connected with it, for He will bring them with Him. "When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory." Colossians 3:4 . Here it is the manifestation of Christ with His own, to be followed by the setting up of His kingdom and the apportionment of rewards to His saints. 2 Corinthians 5:10 . The Lord's servant is exhorted by His appearing and His kingdom to preach the word, etc. 2 Timothy 4:1,2 . The saints will be associated with Christ in His judgements at His appearing. Jude 14,15 . Christ will execute judgement on the Beast and the False Prophet and the western powers. Also on the Assyrian and the eastern powers that will oppress the Jews. The Jews and the ten tribes will be restored to their land in blessing, ushering in the Millennium. See ADVENT, SECOND.
