Rather, they saw Him ascend up into the sky, into a cloud whereupon they lost sight of Him. And angels said "He's coming back in the same manner that He left." He literally did that, they literally saw it, and according to the holy angels He would come back the same way. |
So, Jesus' return is not about an apocalyptic event? And the OT does not prophesy of a time when the Lord would bring forth an apocalyptic event? Are you sure about that? Please explain.
