The Day of Resurrection is not a day of twenty-four hours, but an era which has now begun and will last as long as the present world cycle continues.
It will continue when all traces of the present civilization will have been wiped off the surface of the globe.
Return of Christ In many of His conversations Christ speaks of the future Manifestation of God in the third person, but in others the first person is used.

He says: "I go to prepare a place for you.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself" (John xiv, 2-3).

In the first chapter of Acts we read that the disciples were told, at the ascension of Jesus: "This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." Because of these and similar sayings, many Christians expect that when the Son of Man comes "in the clouds of heaven and with great glory" they shall see in bodily form the very Jesus Who walked the streets of Jerusalem two thousand years ago, and bled and suffered on the cross.

They expect to be able to thrust their fingers into the prints of the nails on His hands and feet, and their hands into the spear wound in His side.
