136 Christ's Second Coming

The text starts with Isaiah receiving a clear prophetic revelation. Within this text there is a question Isaiah is asking regarding the person in this prophecy that he is seeing. He does not quite understand the full implication of what he is allowed to see so he asks, Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? Bozrah is the place where the Lord Jesus told His Jewish believers that when one of their future generations that sees the Abomination of Desolation must flee to during the Tribulation. It will be a refuge for them as the city of Jerusalem falls and is surrounded in a siege by the armies of the Antichrist.Having identified the place of the Second Coming, it is important to look at the Scriptures dealing with the manner of the Second Coming, and the final battle between Jesus and the Antichrist. It has already been gleaned from Isaiah 63:2–6 that when He fights, Messiah will fight alone and no others will participate in the battle.

The manner of the Second Coming is described in Matthew as being with the clouds of Heaven.Throughout the Old Testament, clouds and the Shechinah Glory are interrelated. In this New Testament passage, that can be seen again. He will return in the same manner as He left.At the Second Coming Christ will come with the wrath of God riding upon a cherub which will have horse-like features according to Revelation 19:11. There will be convulsions throughout nature at His return while the entire world is illuminated by His brightness. Jesus will return at the request of Israel and enter into a battle with the Antichrist and his armies.
