Revelation 1:7

[BlessedByTheBest]

Revelation 1:7 (AV)

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

i create this topic in the hopes of encouraging the Worthy brethren to discuss any thoughts that come to mind concerning this event.

accompanying Scripture is always good.

i think we can all find something to say about the most important event in humankind's history short of Christ's Holy birth, and of course the shedding of His precious blood on the cross.

some things that come to mind for me...

i imagine that, if every eye shall see Him, His coming will be something that is visible from horizon to horizon.

what are the implications of this?

that it does not matter if the sun is shining on any particular hemisphere.

His glory will blot out the sun.

His glory will encompass the whole of creation upon His arrival.

i find this mind-blowing, and can only imagine the terror that will come upon the hearts of those who have rejected Him.

thoughts?

love to you.

This will be Jesus 2nd coming because it is not until He comes on the white horse with the heavenly host and the bride to defeat the enemies of Israel in the Battle of Armageddon that the Jewish people (those who pierced Him) will recognize that He is their Messiah and King.

It makes me think of this

Matthew 24:30 "At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory."

I think you overlooked a small detail, which I will explain. It does not matter if if it is daytime in any particular hemisphere, becuase the Sun WON'T be shining anywhere. For this reason, Whether His glory blots out the Sun or not, I do not know, but the scripture says:

29“Immediately after the distress of those days

“ ‘the sun will be darkened,

and the moon will not give its light;

the stars will fall from the sky,

and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’^b

30“Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth^c will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.^d31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Since every eye shall see him tells me that this is the second coming.When Jesus comes in the Rapture only the believers will see him.

Mathew 24:40

Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.

This verse is also regarding the second coming.

[Guest]

When Jesus comes in the Rapture only the believers will see him.

You and others keep saying that, but where in scripture is this invisible coming described? And if you can actually answer that, I would prefer it be in words, not in a link to some article on the web. Bible verse would be great!

aah yes keen eye brother, thank you.

A good question is how did all those who see the Second Coming get within viewing distance. Acts 1:11b - This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven. He went upward, He shall return in like manner (descending) One would need to be within a 1.000 to 2,000 mile radius of the Mt of Olives. How did the population of the earth get there??

They don't have to get there, Jesus gives the answer.

Matthew 24:27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Matthew 24:30 At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory.

He doesn't say they see Him on the mount of olives, He says they see Him coming on the clouds. Do you question His ability to do so?

I see your point. But Scripture says He will descend to the Mt of Olives as He went up into Heaven from the Mt of Olives. Line of Sight. Yes every eye will see Him. All the Spiritual world will see the Second Coming, all the Physical world will see the Second Coming. The King is Coming.
