Thank you. I have missed the forum!

You are right, Matt 24:15-22 is obviously a parallell-passage. And all the fleeing-language seems to be there. I got stuck on ” the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” v.30 and ”on that day” v.31 which no doubt seems to refer to the actual day Jesus returns.
What do we do with these words?
#3. I would guess the pre-tribbers would say that all christians could be ”received near into Jesus´s presence”.
Thank your for clarifying what the king being present means. If the the kingdom being present means the kingdom of God is near, could we say that the kingdom of God is still in our midst since Jesus is present through the spirit in the congregation?
