He will come in the sky with clouds: “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.” “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him.” “And they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” “And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.” Revelation 1:7; Daniel 7:13; Matthew 24:30; Mark 13:26, Luke 21:27. He will come with a myriad of angels: “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels [literally, messengers, not necessarily the assumed winged beings of traditional views].” “When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him.” Matthew 16:27; 25:31. The dead would then be raised to life and all the righteous would rise up from the earth: “For Yehuveh Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Elohim: and the dead anointed shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet Yehuveh in the air: and so shall we ever be with Yehuveh.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. All the redeemed (living and resurrected) then ascend to heaven for a thousand years: “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: . . . and they lived and reigned with the Anointed a thousand years.” Revelation 20:4. The earth was to be purified by fire: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” “And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from Yehuveh out of heaven, and devoured them.” “Fire came down from Yehuveh out of heaven, and devoured them.” “For a fire is kindled in Mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.” Revelation 21:1, 9; 20:9; Deuteronomy 32:22. After a thousand years in heaven, all of us, in the holy New Jerusalem, would again descend to this earth: All whom Yehuveh redeemed from earth “lived and reigned with Christ (the anointed) a thousand years.” “And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison.” “I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from Yehuveh out of heaven. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of Elohim is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and Elohim Himself shall be with them, and be their Elohim. And Elohim shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 20:4, 7; 21:1-5.
