During the tribulation, some people will falsely claim that Christ is present. However, His actual coming at the end of the tribulation will be visible and unmistakable. During the 7 year tribulation period Jesus Christ reigns in heaven. When Jesus Christ comes bodily there will be no mistaking it. That is the point of Jesus' analogies in verses 26-28 or Matthew 24. Though what is happening will be obvious, many will still not believe. We explain how the worship of the creature rather than the Creator will cause the enemies of
Christ to think the rapture was the universe expelling evil from the earth. Those who are left behind will be glad the Christians are gone. We discuss how the parousia is a complex event even though the term is singular in the Greek. We also discuss what happens after the rapture to the Jews. They will refuse to assimilate into the antichrist agenda and will eventually be hated and persecuted. The temple will be rebuilt, but antichrist will desecrate it.
