THE FIRST COMING OF THE SON OF GOD, according to the Bible of Constantine and the Pope and the King James of England and Scotland, was as a baby born in the City of David and HE was wrapped in swaddling clothes and lied in a manger, because there was no room for HIM at the inn...
HE was named JESUS and HE lived among man for about 33 years until HE was crucified and died on a cross as it was written. HE was the prophesied Messiah and after HE died an angel of The Lord came to HIM and rolled the stone away and HE returned to Heaven, THIS WAS THE FIRST COMING of the Messiah from the Heavens according to the Bible that Constantine wrote about 3rd century ad... I know Constantine did not really write it but he ordered it, so we give him credit. it would have been the scholars and monks there that wrote and edited it...
After HIS triumph over death and the grave, the Bible says that the MESSIAH came to Man again. That HE appeared to Thomas who doubted that HE was really JESUS and showed him the nail scars in HIS hands. That HE returned to Heaven and took the dead saints with HIM to their eternal reward. THIS WAS THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS THE SON OF GOD AND KING OF KINGS according to the Holy Bible written by Constantine and the church about 300 years later...
The word rapture was never used in the book and was not used to describe the dead saints rising from the graves and going with JESUS to the Heavens. Also, JESUS said that HE was going to prepare a place for the saints in the Heavens and that they would join HIM when they die...
Technically, of course, as Jesus was the human incarnation of the Word of God, His first appearance in the Bible would be as a burning bush that Moses talked to and then delivered the Word to the Jews as two tablets with ten commandments on them. If you want to get technical that is... But Jesus was the human form of God or the Word of God and so His first appearance may be in the Garden of Eden with Adam, if he took human form then, but I dont guess He did.
But hey, dont take it from me. Read your Bible... If you want to argue about it, talk to the author.... Constantine is dead but you might be able to find him in a seance...
