After Jesus said this, he was lifted up into the sky. While they were watching, he went into a cloud, and they could not see him. They were staring into the sky where he had gone. Suddenly two men wearing white clothes were standing beside them.They said, “Men from Galilee, why are you standing here looking into the sky? You saw Jesus carried away from you into heaven. He will come back in the same way you saw him go.”
Acts 1:9-11 ERV
Apostle Peter wrote in 2 Pet 3:4, that it will reach a time when some ungodly people will arise and question the promise of Jesus second coming,''They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation." Then Peter continued and said the former world was destroyed by water [ in the days of Noah], but this present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.[v.5]
Peter said,''To the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day. He said that God is not being slow in doing what is promised, but he is patient with us. He doesn't want any of us to be lost, but everyone to come to repentance, [v.8-9]. Peter was encouraging the church which was suffering persecution in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, western Asia Minor and Bithynia.
Those men wearing white clothes in the sky [angels], confirmed the words of Jesus which he said in his earthly ministry that he will come back. First he came as the humble servant, and people had the right to ignore or accept him; but in his second coming he will come as the Kings of kings and Lord of Lords! Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord in the glory of God the Father.
This morning, God wants you to continue trusting upon his Name. He wants you to continue sanctifisies yourself[to set yourself apart, to make yourself holy] knowing that in the hour which you don't know ; the son of man will come in this world. He will come to take the pure and spotless church; God needs you to be among of them. The choice is yours!
