The second coming of Christ must have already happened in AD 70, coinciding with Jerusalem's destruction, as evidenced by the Day of Yahweh prophecies in Scripture.

• The Day of the Lord brought tribulation "to the Jew first, and also the Greek" as prophesied in Romans 2:9-11
• Jesus directly connected His return to the destruction of Jerusalem in Matthew 24
• 2 Thessalonians 2 links Christ's return with the destruction of "the man of lawlessness" in the temple
• When Jesus told His accusers they would see Him "coming on the clouds" He was indicating judgment would come in their lifetime
• There's no 2,000-year gap between Christian resurrection and final judgment in Scripture
• Salvation was consistently described as future throughout the New Testament until Christ's return
• The resurrection produces spiritual bodies, not physical ones as many assume
• Christians today must be living in what Scripture calls "the new heaven and new earth"
• The New Covenant age began at Pentecost but was fully established at Christ's return in AD 70
