A New World approaches...
In a private conversation with four of his disciples, Jesus answers their question of what sign to look for about his second presence stating, "for those days will be days of a tribulation such as has not occurred from the beginning of the creation that God created until that time, and will not occur again." (Mark 13:19) The disciples did not discern Jesus' answer in quoting the Hebrew Scriptures from Daniel 12:1 about his return in Kingdom Glory. This Prince of Peace would stand up to Satan in a glorified state as King while he goes subduing in the midst of his enemies. (Psalm 110:2)
"During that time {Jesus Christ} will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of your people. And there will occur a time of distress such as has not occurred since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written down in the book. And many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up, some to everlasting life and others to reproach and to everlasting contempt." (Daniel 12:1-2) "So he has become better than the angels to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs." (Hebrews 1:4) Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life;" (John 11:25) "For just as the days of Noah were, so the Presence of the Son of man will be." (Matthew 24:37)
A synopsis of this article: Christ Return is a process that takes place over a specific time period. Like other prophecies, the fulfillment of them are 'timed events' and there is a Beginning and an End to them. The Beginning of Christ's Return doesn't begin with sunshine and rainbows but rather a gloomy and distressful forecast. It comes about in three phases. It's a Spiritual Process, that is why Jesus gave a Composite Sign of his Return in answer to four of his disciples.
