this is where a many of Christian miss the mark.
"the second invisible presence of Jesus Christ", are you kidding? understand, our Lord will appear twice, which one has already happen. and the so-called, "invisible presence of Jesus Christ", is nothing more that his "Manifestation" in the Spiritual Gifts, which happen on Pentecost. now his last apperance is yet to happen, his parousia, or second coming. supportive scripture, Hebrews 9:28 "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."
christians need to understand the difference between a "apperance" and a "Manifestation".
for the Lord Jesus has already "appeared" one in natural flesh, and "manifested" himself in Spirit at Pentecost with the gifts, the only thing left now is his second apperance which every eye will see, supportive scripture, Revelation 1:7 "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."

The second presence of Jesus Christ, when he stands up as ruling as king, "in the midst of his enemies," starts when, "The times of the Gentles" end. It will be a invisible presence. I know you and others thinks Jesus is a liar when he said the world will not see him no more. Jesus said, "the anointed Christians," will see him but not the world. When Jesus was resurrected he only appeared to his Apostles and disciples, he did not appear to any unbelievers. Just as Jesus said, the world did not literally see him again. His second presence will be an invisible presence, only those with eyes of faith will know that Jesus second presence has begun.
