Jesus Returns to Earth in Clouds of Glory
Jesus was executed by the Romans. Yet He was resurrected after three days in the tomb. Then He ministered for (I think) 60 days among His followers on Earth. He also visited His people in the New World, the Americas. In fact, He visited people in many parts of the Earth. But He ascended to Heaven with the promise that He would return.
When He returns, all wickedness will end. The righteous will rise to meet Him. There will be the resurrection of the just - who had been in the Spirit World (Paradise). Then, for 1000 years, Jesus will reign on Earth in peace. Afterwards, the wicked will be resurrected, and a final judgment will determine which Kingdom of Glory the resurrected will live in. The wicked had to be waiting out the millennium in Spirit Prison. That is sometimes called Hell.
After the 1000 years of peace, everyone else will be resurrected. This means their spirit will be reunited with their body... only their resurrected body will be immortal and free of all disease or defects. Then, in a final judgment, everyone is assigned to one of the Kingdoms of Glory.
There are three Kingdoms of Glory: The Telestial Kingdom for those who were wicked on Earth and had to repent of major sins in Spirit Prison. Then, good people who were misled on Earth go to the Terrestrial Kingdom. Those who have repented of their sins and had the ordinances of Salvation are those who receive exaltation in the Celestial Kingdom. Those ordinances include baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, Temple endowment, and sealing to spouse & Family. Of course, these people who made it to the Celestial Kingdom still had to repent of their sins. Everyone sins. But they chose to repent and do better, and their sins were cleansed by the Lamb of God.
Jesus suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross. He paid the eternal price for our sins. He is the Author of our Salvation. He was resurrected with an immortal and glorious body. As a sign of His Atonement, He kept the marks of the nails in His hands and feet. He also kept the spear wound in His side. These are there to remind us of His sacrifice for us. That sacrifice made it possible for us to repent. He is very powerful. It is important to know that He was a willing sacrifice. He could have smitten the Romans with His power, but He allowed them to do their worst to Him that He might suffer and die and pay that eternal price for our sins. He also became the first to be resurrected. Because of His resurrection, we all will be resurrected.
NOTE: This drawing can be found by clicking on the button labeled "Religious." Then scroll down to the bottom of the New Testament section of the Religious list of drawings. By the way, the Bible says He will be wearing red. Maybe it is just the sash... I don't know.
