This text brings the Second Coming into focus after a period in excess of two thousand years of the Church Age. It continues from verse nine, the previous verse which described the Lord’s first advent. In verse ten we see the Second Coming of the Lord. Carefully analyzing this text gives us a model of The Law of Double Reference. The two comings of Christ are seemingly blended into one passage consisting of two verses with no indication of a separation of time between them. It is important to realize this hermeneutical principle because the Scriptures frequently make use of this law. This is not double fulfillment, which is not an acceptable hermeneutical principle. If that were the case the reader would be in a position to decide which outcomes he would like the passage to refer to instead of the passage itself making the reference to specific events. Following that so called principle would only lead to confusion. We then are faced with an eisegesis (reading into) of a passage instead of exegesis (reading out from). There are multiple examples of this in the Bible. One of these is Daniel 9:26. In this single verse there two separate events discussed separated by a time gap of more than two thousand years.
