is it just a metaphor. Hmmm…tough question, but it looks like a metaphor to me. The Second Coming is a metaphor for when we meet our Maker. It is a time when we need to answer tough questions from our Father in Heaven. First, He’ll pat us on the back for making it into the pearly gates, then he’s going to remind us that it’s too late to correct our sins. However, all of our sins have been forgiven and we can lay down on the soft and comfy clouds and rest.
