“What shall be the sign of thy coming?” Parousia (GSN-<G3952>) is Greek for “coming,” meaning personal visible presence or reappearing.

There will be two appearances Christians refer to.

The first will be the rapture, which is a personal coming in the air (not to the earth) for the saints (1 Thess. 2:19; 3:13; 4:13-17; 5:23; 1 Cor. 15:23, 51-58; 2 Thess. 2:1,7-8; Jas. 5:7-8; 1 Jn. 2:28; Jn. 14:1-3; Rev. 4:1).

The second will be the Second Coming to earth with His saints to reign (Mt. 24:3, 27-51; 25:31-46; Jude 1:14-15; Rev. 19:11-21; Dan. 7:13-14, 18, 22, 27; Zech. 14:1-5).
