So we need to understand that there are four Comings or Appearings of the Lord. Remember that the word "Parousia" simple means "presence". So in a sense whenever the Lord is present with His people He has appeared among them.
Jesus said: "For where two or three are gathered together in my name I am there in the midst of them." (Matthew 18: 20).
This "appearing" of the Lord among His people will have special effect when the Feast of Tabernacles is experienced by the Ecclesia.
The First Coming happened at Jesus' unveiling to the world at His public ministry after baptism in the Jordan. This was a visible, known and recognised event, even recorded by man in the Gospels. Jesus came to His saints even though Israel as a nation by and large did not receive Him then (John 1: 11).
The Second Coming of the Lord will be a coming in His Manchild / Sons of God. It will be for those who have been diligent and obedient, intimate and prepared. This will occur at the start of the Feast of Tabernacles on an actual date during the Biblical keeping of this Feast. Jesus fulfilled literally the Passover on the exact day and at the precise moment. Then He sent the Holy Spirit on the exact day of the Feast of Pentecost fulfilling it to the very moment of the very day.
So according to this pattern we can expect the literal fulfilment of the Feast of Tabernacles on the exact day of the Biblical (not Jewish) feast and at the precise moment during that feast. How we need wisdom to see this and prepare for it. Only a portion shall experience this Coming. Jesus will come only to those who have been prepared.
This will be an "unseen" event as far as most people are concerned, noticeable only after it's occurred. Although it's an invisible event we shouldn't think it's the same as the "secret" rapture of the Pre-Trib view. First, because it's not a literal "catching away" but a "catching into" the presence of God Himself - yet while still on earth. Second, it's not a secret because anyone can experience it. This is not a select group. The group select themselves! Whoever wants to, can enter into this.
Paul Cain says. "We can have as much of God as we want." It's a personal choice and a personal preparation.
Those who participate in this Second Coming are known as the Manchild / Sons of God / Bride / 144,000 / Remnant. They will manifest God's glory during the Tribulation period, duplicating the mighty works of Jesus. What Jesus did for His 3½ years of ministry, the Manchild shall do in its 3½ year ministry! Thus concludes Daniel's 70 Weeks!
This event will be when Jesus comes in His saints. Those who are ready and receptive to this Appearing of the Lord in them will be mightily endowed with power and wisdom. It will happen unseen, suddenly, almost overnight. The Manchild will be pioneers, pathfinders and forerunners of what is to come. The Lord will spiritually take them aside, and anoint them in His secret place. They shall then be released on the earth for 3½ years. The glory upon them will be so visible that others of like spirit will cry out to the Lord.
It will be this Remnant Firstfruits Company (the Manchild / 144,000 / Bride ) who will act as a springboard for millions of others to enter in. The word "remnant" literally means "the beginning number". They will initiate the next next step: a new beginning. From this Overcoming 144,000 there will come untold millions who follow in the released anointing.
The Hebrew word for "Overcomers" has with it the meaning of "preservers, reserve, to exceed and excel". This is what the Remnant, the firstfruits shall do - excel!
The Remnant are Firstfruits and Overcomers. They will walk in the Spirit, just like, but more than, the first firstfruits did on the Day of Pentecost.
The 120 multiplication rule is this:
Jesus
1 x 1
= 1
Signifies Passover
Past event
120 Disciples
1 x 120
= 120
Signifies Pentecost
Past event
The Third Coming will also happen in an unseen manner. This will be when the Lord Jesus comes for His saints when the last trumpet (shofar) sounds, three years into the Tribulation period (Rev. 10: 7 . 1 Cor. 15: 52 / 1 Thess. 4: 16-17). This will be the catching away not into the literal air but into the realm of spiritual life.
Jesus will come for His saints who are still alive having gone through the judgments of the Tribulation. Those belonging to the Manchild would've been supernaturally protected from the Tribulation plagues. Other believers who did not prepare themselves will be like the foolish virgins. When the time comes they'll lack personal preparation to belong to the Manchild.
As a result when the Tribulation happens many believers will die as martyrs; some might even forfeit their salvation by receiving the Mark of the Beast. Others would have fled intro the Wilderness to escape the Beast for the 1,260 days = 3½ years! (Rev., 12: 6).
Before Jesus descends in this Third Coming, millions will have died during this time. But many will also come into salvation as a result of the ministry of the Manchild as they reduplicate the works of Jesus.
The Fourth Coming of the Lord is with all His saints. This will be a visible appearing. All the believers, before the Cross and after it, shall return with Jesus in triumphant victory (1 Thess. 3: 13).
It will occur at the end of the 3½ years of Tribulation. Some believe at this point the Manchild / Bride / Overcomers, will be raised up spiritually to become the Melchizedek Priesthood order and rule with Jesus for the Millennium period.
Now comes the First Resurrection, that of the righteous saints (Rev. 20: 4-5). Armageddon will then take place (verse 7-9).
After this comes the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev. 20: 11ff).
To recap this teaching in simplified form:
Jesus comes TO the saints
Jesus comes IN the saints
Jesus comes FOR the saints
Jesus comes WITH the saints
