"At Jesus' ascension, the angels told the disciples that Jesus would return in the SAME manner as He ascended. This not only means "on the clouds" but in the same body." I have merely quoted from this forum verbatim.
"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."(He.9:28)
He will appear second time. But is it on earth? "When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:" His throne of glory has a name, "Throne of God and of the Lamb." It is in mid-air.
" And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."(Matt.19:28)
Coming back to the ascension,"shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven," does not specify the body but from resurrection shows that spiritual body confused Mary who could only recognise him by his voice.
In the inaugural vision of St John he refers to his death ('the first begotten of the dead,'-1:5) but from description no nail marks are seen. Besides no familiarity of Master disciple relationship is implied which of course owes to the nature of vision.
