What exactly were they to understand?

Option 1) He would futurely literally be seen appear out of the clouds, just as he ascended into them.

2) He would come in judgment just as he ascended in judgment (like manner).

Which of these options were reasonably purposed by the angels words to give them enlightenment/understanding...they who watched him ascend?


Option 2 is not a realistic option, IMO, he did not leave in judgement...nor would the angel have the intentions of giving them apocalyptic judgement enlightenment by saying “in like manner as you have seen him ascend into heaven”...

They DID NOT tell the disciples that they would see Jesus return.
