Is There Really Going To Be A "General" 2nd Coming? by IamProfessorval(op): 9:55am On Dec 11, 2016
Is there going to be a day when everybody will hear the trumpet? Yes definitely, even science agrees. But will everybody hear the trumpet on the same day?

Many religions accept the fact that sooner or later, the world will come to an end.

As a christian, I believe that Jesus Christ will come again. The bone of contention is as to whether Christ will come literarily in Chariots and clouds, as depicted in the Book of Revelations. Even if he does, will there be a date for this event? And will this date be the same for all and sundry?

Examining Our Lord's explanations, where he said that two people will be together, one will be taken carefully, I have come to a conclusion that "The 2nd Coming", for anybody, is when the person dies.

No wonder many atimes, no one sees his death coming, and this fact is just in accordance with the "Behold I am coming as a thief, at an hour you do not expect" theory (Revelation 16:15).

Anyway, this is just an opinion from me, if I'm wrong, please point it out

"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." (2 Pet. 3:10)

"Behold he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him..." Rev. 1:7

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of GOD..." 1 Thess. 4:16

When a person dies, that's the end of the road for him/her. S/he sleeps in the grave, awaiting resurrection either to life, or to everlasting contempt.

But we know that some day, very soon, the LORD Jesus will appear in the clouds of Heaven i.e. He will come literally. That day, the dead in Christ shall rise from their graves incorruptible, and those who remain alive, and are in Christ will be caught in the air with the LORD, and be with Him forever.(1 Thess. 4:16-17).
