I answered your post with the scripture from
John 14 identifying that indeed,
the world can not see his coming; and then added a confirming comment.
The scripture that you quote has nothing to do with the coming of the Lord, but rather the Holy Spirit which they would receive.
...the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. John 14:17
You are mixing together two entirely different spiritual concepts, as though they were one thing.
The
coming of the Lord refers to His literal coming from heaven to earth, in which He gather His people at the resurrection and rapture, and will destroy the antichrist.
15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive
and remain until the
coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive
and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
and again
Now, brethren, concerning the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our
gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for
that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains
will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and
destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8
The word "coming" used in these verse's is Parousia.
Strong's G3952 - parousia
- presence
- the coming, arrival, advent
- the future visible return from heaven of Jesus, to raise the dead, hold the last judgment, and set up formally and gloriously the kingdom of God
His arrival, His presence, His visible return will be so glorious, that
the brightness of His presence will destroy the false christ.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and
destroy with the brightness of His coming.
Every eye will see Him, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn when they see Him coming on the clouds with power and great glory.
