First, Touching the Manner of Christ's Second Personal Coming from Heaven, it is testified, Matth. 16.27. That the SON of Man shall come in the Glory of his Father. The Glory of the Father is the highest and most heavenly ⟨p. 12⟩Glory, called the Excellent Glory, 2 Pet. 1.16, 17, 18.—When we made known unto you the Power and Coming of our LORD Jesus Christ—For he received from God the Father, honour and glory—from the Excellent Glory; which was but a glimpse of that Excellent Glory of the Father, which Christ shall come in, Attended with all his holy Angels, and glorified Saints from Heaven, and met in the Air by all the changed Saints then living on Earth. Jude v. 14. Behold, the LORD cometh with Ten Thousand of his Saints; and ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands of Angels, saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb (that was slain) to receive power, and honour, and glory, Rev. 5.11, 12. and 2 Thes. 1.7-10. When the LORD Jesus Christ shall be Revealed from Heaven with his mighty Angels At the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his Saints, 1 Thes. 3.16. & 1 Thes. 4.17, 18. Then we which are alive and remain (unto the Coming of the Lord, ver. 5.) 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 ⟨p. 13⟩Lord. Read Luk. 21.17. Mark 13.16. & Matth. 24.30.
