When Jesus returns, will God the Father be with Him?

Scripture: Matthew 26:64, Revelation 8:1
When Jesus returns, will God the Father be with Him? According to Jesus before the High Priest, they would see the Son of Man coming and 'sitting at the right hand of the Power'. Also, the book of Revelation speaks of their being 'silence in heaven' which seems to indicate God the Father will come with Jesus at the Second Coming.

There are those who mocked Christ in his humiliation. With thrilling power come to their minds the Sufferer's words, when, adjured by the high priest, he solemnly declared, “Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.” [Matthew 26:64.] Now they behold him in his glory, and they are yet to see him sitting on the right hand of power.

Inspired words seem to tell us otherwise. The father is pictured as waiting at the gate for his redeemed.

Jesus will welcome you, and with His own hand place the crown upon the brow of all those who enter there. Then they sing the song of Moses and the Lamb in the kingdom of glory. Well, now, is there not inducement enough that God has set before us so that we should think upon heavenly things? And the best of it is, we do not enter the city as convicts, but as sons and daughters of the Most High God. The Father stands at the gate and welcomes everyone to His bosom. There we shall show forth the matchless charms of our Redeemer. And the song will echo and re-echo through the courts of heaven, “Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” 1 SAT 46.1

When Saul of Tarsus was incapacitated by the light that was brighter than the noonday sun, he asked, "Who are you Lord (Jehovah)?" The reply came back, "I am Jesus". Saul, who would become Paul the Apostle, wrote over half of the New Testament. Paul is recorded by Luke, to have told and retold of his testimony of his revelation of Jesus, to Festus, Agrippa, and ultimately appeal to Caesar. Over half of the last part of the book of Acts, gives the record of Paul's conversion and witness of Jesus, and his testimony of his conversion. John the beloved gives an account of when he saw Jesus, in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. When Jesus comes back there will be brightness of His coming, but no second person, since Jesus is Jehovah (Father).

Jesus is the almighty God. God is a Spirit. The only way to know God is by Jesus. Jesus said to Philip, "henceforth ye see Him (Father) and know Him. Stephen looked up into heaven and saw the "glory of God" and Jesus (one person + glory). The Spirit cannot be seen or known, person to person, except through the incarnation. God prepared himself a body and that is Jesus. On the earth, He spoke as a man (finitely) and at other times He spoke as God (infinitely). There was two ways of speaking, contrasted ("I thirst") and ("before Abraham was, I Am"). Jesus reveals the Father and the Father reveals Jesus.
“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16:17‬ ‭
You decide, whether Jesus is the Father. Is Jesus that Spirit? Is Jesus, God revealed? Who is Jesus? I assert that Jesus is, absolutely, the eternal One, Jehovah of the Old Testament. By Jesus, is all of God known. God is the Father of all those that receive Jesus and believe on His Name: Jesus (salvation). I believe, do you?
“All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:22‬ ‭
“It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.”
‭‭John‬ ‭6:45-46‬ ‭
In Heaven, Jesus will faithfully bear witness of all that He asserted on earth. His answers will never change. God is a Spirit and there is only one Spirit and the way to worship the one Spirit of God is by Jesus. The Spirit is not divisible. Neither are there multiple persons of God. One is one, whether on earth or in Heaven. One is one.
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:4-6‬ ‭
“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.”
‭‭John‬ ‭4:21-26‬ ‭

Caller:  When Jesus comes, and He comes with all of his angels, I was wondering, does God the Father come with Him?  I’m wondering if there’s going to be two thrones or just how it works?

Pastor Doug:  Well, I believe that God the Father is coming with Christ because of that Scripture, I believe it’s Matthew 26:64:  And Jesus said to Caiaphas the High Priest, remember He said, I adjure you by the living God if Thou art the Christ, tell us if You’re the Son of God.  And Jesus said, ‘Thou hast said.  Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of Power and coming in the clouds of heaven’.  When He says He’s sitting on the right hand of Power, that’s an image of Jesus coming on the right hand of God the Father in the clouds of heaven.  And then, of course, you go to Revelation and it speaks in the prophecy there about silence in heaven for the space of half an hour and it’s in connection with Their coming to earth, and that would make me think that that’s when God the Father comes too. 

Caller:  Okay, okay.  I just don’t want to be fooled.  I want to know everything about it that I can.

Pastor Doug:  Yes, well, I think you’re on the right track.  We’ve had that question before and I’ve studied into it a little bit and I have every reason to believe that God the Father is coming with Christ to resurrect and rapture the saints and then we will go back as a glorious procession parade to heaven together.

Caller:  Okay.

Pastor Doug:  Alright?

Caller:  Thank you very much.
