Jesus' Appearance in Revelation 14 Is Not the Second Coming

Most SDAs invariably know that not every mention of Jesus riding on a cloud in the bible represents the physical return of Christ to the earth. For example, we know that Daniel 7:13, in which the cloud riding Jesus goes before the Ancient of Days to receive his kingdom, does not depict the second coming of Christ to the earth, but the coming of Christ to the Ancient of days in the Heavenly Sanctuary at the commencement of the Judgment. So what about the mention of Jesus riding on a cloud in Revelation 14:14? Does this appearance of Christ here represent the second coming, or something else? In this study, we compare scripture with scripture, including Ellen White's writings, to gain a deeper understanding of what the Son of Man on a white cloud in Revelation 14 refers to, and what it isn't referring to.
