I swear, some of these inane theories make Jesus sound like a celestial elevator. Down to earth, up to heaven, down to the clouds (but then stop, we have to go back up again), then back down to earth. I’ll stick with the sequence that the Bible describes and avoid these convolutions. He came, He’s in Heaven now, He will return.

2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
