I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
The Appearing of Jesus is when he comes to rapture the Church and we meet him in the air. His kingdom is when he comes to the earth the second time to judge and to set up his kingdom to rule the world in righteousness. These two events are separated by the seven year Tribulation period.
