coming-on-the-clouds

Most believe that they would literally see Christ coming in a cloud. This is due to a lack of understanding apocalyptic imagery and temple typology. Acts 1:9-11 speaks of Jesus' return, but in the context of an imminent coming to the generation that saw him go. He is seated at the throne of God. The preterist view continues to gain momentum around the world.

Coming on the Clouds of Heaven In Like Manner, is a description of Christ's second appearing in 70AD at the fall of Jerusalem. Many believe this text is to be understood as some yet future return of Christ, but they do so without scriptural precedent. The text should be understood in the light of temple typology, associated with the atoning work of Christ, and understood in the apocalyptic imagery that attends prophetic texts.
