Here is a quote from Martin Luther King about it:
It is obvious that most twentieth century Christians must frankly and flatly reject any view of a physical return of .Christ. To hold such a view would mean denying a Copernican universe, for there can be no physical return unless there is a physical place from which to return. In its literal form this belief belongs to a pre-scientific world view which we cannot accept.' Where then do we find the Christian pertinence of this belief? We may find it in the words of one of the greatest Christians the world has ever known-St. Paul. "Nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. Also we may turn to the words of the Fourth Gospel, "I will not leave you comfortless; I come to you. Because I live, ye shall live also." The most precious thought in Christianity is that Jesus is our daily friend, that he never did leave us comfortless or alone, and that we may know his transforming communion every day of our lives…Actually we are celebrating the Second Advent every time we open our hearts to Jesus, every time we turn our backs to the low road and accept the high road, every time we say no to self that we may say yes to Jesus Christ, every time a man or women turns from ugliness to beauty and is able to forgive even their enemies. Jesus stands at the door of our hearts if we are willing to admit him.
It was attributed to Martin Luther King by "Isidore Fitzroy, Professional lawyer, amateur Hellenophile," in an answer to the quoran question:
Martin Luther King denied the Virgin birth, his sinless life bodily resurrection from the grave and his second coming among other things. Why do people believe that Martin Luther King was a Christian? Why is he recognized as a Christian when he denies the essentials of Christianity?

So, while Isidore Fitzroy pretended he didn't, he actually gave a quote confirming it for Martin Luther King denying Second Coming.
Martin Luther King's rationale was Copernical world view, which CMI however accepts.
How does CMI conjugate second coming of Christ with Copernican (or very post-Copernican) world view in relation to his argument:
there can be no physical return unless there is a physical place from which to return
As I am a Geocentric holding that the visible fix stars are one light day up, I hold the physical place where Christ is now is just above one light day up.
