• When Christ returns He will deliver the kingdom back to His Father (1 Cor. 15:24)
• There is no passage in the Bible which states Christ will ever set foot on this earth again — the Bible teaches that we will “meet the Lord in the air” (1 Thes. 4:17)
• Once Christ receives His own they will “always” be with Him, not just for a 1,000 years as some teach (1 Thes. 4:17)
