We know from Jesus's Word that the Holy Spirit cannot be present on earth at the same time our Lord is :
"..if I go not away the Comforter WILL NOT COME unto you ,
but if I depart I will SEND HIM unto you ."
( John 16:7 )
We also know that a period of time existed between Jesus's departure and the Holy Spirit's arrival , and that the arrival was marked by sudden sound from heaven, and miracles:
" and suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind and it filled the house
where they were sitting ."
( Acts 2:2 )
And so we know that the Holy Spirit must depart the earth before Jesus can come again .
Given that the Holy Spirit's arrival was accompanied by " mighty " sounds from Heaven , as well as miracles that caused :
" ..all amazed and marveled.." ( Acts 2:7 )
Does it make sense to any Christian here that the Holy Spirit would then depart the earth , as He must if Jesus is to come, without Jesus's children being immediately aware of it ?
For the record it would make no sense to me,and go against Jesus's own Word both that the Holy Spirit cannot be here when Jesus comes and that like the arrival of the Holy Spirit the departure of the Holy Spirit will be a dramatic event accompanied by "mighty " sound from heaven as well as miracles .
