Coming on a chariot-throne ?

Coming on the clouds ; in the chariot-throne ?

When the Lord shall come he shall come seated upon his Throne .
When Christ stood before the Sanhedran and was asked if he was the Messiah , he referenced a passage in Daniel 7. Christ quoted ; "They shall see "the son of man seated at the right hand of God and coming with glory " (Mk13) He is seated and advancing at the same time (similar to the white horse of Rev.19.) . He spoke of being " seated at the right hand of power and coming in a cloud . The throne Christ referenced was one that had the wheels of fire , (Dan 7 )
In light of all the other passages, there is evidence supporting that his second coming describes his returning to the earth on a heavenly chariot of fire , with the cherubim , with the clouds !
This view doesn't change the essential nature of The Lords return , but does I think add some further detail that relates to Old Testament imagery .
What do you think ?
