Zechariah 14:5
King James Version
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains;
for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal:
yea, ye shall flee,
like as ye fled from before the earthquake
in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:
and the Lord my God shall come,
and all the saints with thee.
How will JESUS return?
When will He return?
What will happen?
What does the Bible say?
In a nutshell, here's GOD's timeline:
First, the RAPTURE of believers.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air:
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
On a day known ONLY to GOD.
Mark 13:32
King James Version
32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels which are in heaven,
neither the Son,
but the Father.
Then, the TRIBULATION.
Matthew 24:21-22
King James Version
21 For then shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning of the world
to this time,
no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved:
but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
After the TRIBULATION:
Matthew 24:29-31
King James Version
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days
shall the sun be darkened,
and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars shall fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear
the sign of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn,
and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels
with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other.
How JESUS will return:
Acts 1:11
King James Version
11 Which also said,
Ye men of Galilee,
why stand ye gazing up into heaven?
this same Jesus,
which is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come in like manner
as ye have seen him go into heaven.
The LORD returns in the manner He left:
Mark 16:19
King James Version
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them,
he was received up into heaven,
and sat on the right hand of God.
What happens during His return?
Zechariah 14:2-3
King James Version
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;
and the city shall be taken,
and the houses rifled,
and the women ravished;
and half of the city shall go forth into captivity,
and the residue of the people
shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth,
and fight against those nations,
as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zechariah 14:4
King James Version
4 And his feet shall stand in that day
upon the mount of Olives,
which is before Jerusalem on the east,
and the mount of Olives
shall cleave in the midst thereof
toward the east and toward the west,
and there shall be a very great valley;
and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north,
and half of it toward the south.
Hebrews 9:26-28
King James Version
26 For then must he often have suffered
since the foundation of the world:
but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared
to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die,
but after this the judgment:
28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;
and unto them that look for him
shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Revelation 1:7
King James Version
7 Behold,
he cometh with clouds;
and every eye shall see him,
and they also which pierced him:
and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.
Even so, Amen.
Revelation 16:12-14
King James Version
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial
upon the great river Euphrates;
and the water thereof was dried up,
that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs
come out of the mouth of the dragon,
and out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils,
working miracles,
which go forth unto the kings of the earth
and of the whole world,
to gather them to the battle
of that great day of God Almighty.
Revelation 16:15-17
King James Version
15 Behold,
I come as a thief.
Blessed is he that watcheth,
and keepeth his garments,
lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air;
and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven,
from the throne, saying,
It is done.
Revelation 16:18-21
King James Version
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings;
and there was a great earthquake,
such as was not since men were upon the earth,
so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts,
and the cities of the nations fell:
and great Babylon came in remembrance before God,
to give unto her the cup of the wine
of the fierceness of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away,
and the mountains were not found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven,
every stone about the weight of a talent:
and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail;
for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Be worthy of the LORD.
Turn to JESUS now.
Be aware of your sins.
Pray to be born again.
