Jesus didn't die? Was Jesus not crucified before dying and being buried for 3 days and 3 nights? No personal claim has ever been made that Christ will not be seen by all of the tribes and kindred of the Earth when He returns in the "Clouds" with the great glory and the heavenly host.
Isn't it you though who refuse to face the
FACT that the
PROPHECY in Matthew 24:28 "wheresoever the carcase is,
THERE will the eagles be gathered together", cannot possibly be referring to Jesus?
Matthew 24:27-31 is very obviously
PROPHECY that is
currently being fulfilled during
Christ's Second Coming (verse 27), or will be fulfilled shortly (verses 28-31, most likely within the next 5 years), exactly as Christ prophesied. These prophecies cannot possibly be about Jesus, because it is literally being delivered by Christ through the mouth of Jesus to His Disciples, in answer to their questions about what will happen
WHEN CHRIST RETURNS RIGHT BEFORE THE END OF THIS WORLD.
Obviously Christ --
Who is an IMMORTAL Spirit-Being and the Eldest/Firstborn Son of God - didn't die at anytime, nor will He ever die. Not 2000 years ago, and certainly not now.
Obviously Jesus,
the human son of the virgin Mary,
DID die as a result of being
CRUCIFIED, and spent
3 days AND 3 nights buried "in the heart of the Earth (from Wednesday, 21 April in 34 A.D. until Saturday, 24 April in 34 A.D), before Father (God) raised Jesus from the dead (
Acts 4:10-12).
The disciples saw Christ-Jesus ascend into the "Clouds", and He
WILL come again in exactly the same way, with great glory,
AFTER He sheds the body that He (Christ) is currently using to fulfill all of the prophecies about His Second Coming, including gathering the Elect. This is exactly what
Matthew 24:27-31 is telling us,
IF we read it as it is written.
And what will all of the kindred and tribes of the world do then, when they see Him coming in the "Clouds", exactly as He departed in the first chapter of Acts? We will mourn and wail. Why?
BECAUSE EVERYONE WILL KNOW AT THAT INSTANT THAT IT IS TOO LATE FOR THEM TO REPENT OR TO CHANGE THEIR FATE.
And with Christ will be the heavenly host (Prince Michael/Christ's army of angels -
Rev. 12:7), aka "the eagles" (
Lam. 4:19). Did the "eagles" gather together when Jesus died? No. Did they gather the elect at that time"? Again no. Was the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension the end of the world? Again a resounding NO. We've been here for 2000 additional years, and people
STILL don't seem to understand what this place is (a prison reform school for the criminally insane) or why we were sent here (
Rev. 12:7-9) or what we
NEED to do to get out of here (
Mal. 4;
John 14:15).
The article at the following link contains at least two dozen of the prophecies about
the Second Coming of Christ, some of which have already happened, and others which are about to happen.
There seems to be a huge disconnect between popular beliefs concerning Christ's Second Coming and what the Scriptures actually say about it.

You haven't answered the very simple question (nor has anyone else in this thread) as to why Christ would need to write a
NEW NAME "which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it - the white stone,
inside of which the new name is written -
Rev. 2:17;
3:12;
19:12], if He is only returning as Jesus, a name which everyone knows and is obviously not new
