***As long as one individual from each people group; language group; tribe saw Him coming on TV...***
So, “every eye” doesn’t mean every eye in the whole world. Isn’t that the Preterist position!!!
Wasn’t that tabsternager’s whole point in his discussion about ge (earth or land)? Interesting when Dispensationalists are required to explain how something will be so they have to back off their assertions.
Oh, and you still have to contend with the fact that entire people groups still don’t have access to television. You would probably be suprised at just how sparse technology really is in the world.
Having traveled over much of the globe . . .
I suspect you might be surprised at how much I know about a lot of things.
It would depend on how the verses were worded.
Personally, I believe that God will insure that EVERY EYE SHALL SEE—LITERALLY AND PERIOD.
But, not having all those verses in front of me, it is CONCEIVABLE to me that what I outlined would fill the letter of the verses literally.
My conjectures are AT LEAST
as sensible as the Contrarian Preterist ones.
You missed the boat again...
We aren't required to explain anything...
All we do is believe what God said...Sure, we speculate on how God will accomplish what He has predicted but so what??? Maybe he'll have giant drive-in movie screens hanging thruout the sky with live action shots of Him and His army cutting thru the stratosphere and atmosphere coming to avenge His 'chosen'...
We don't demand that God thinks like we do...We don't stick Him in our little pea-brained size box so that His ways are our ways...
The book says every eye shall see Him...You know what that means??? It means, EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM...
You don't change scripture to fit your preconceived theology...You fit your theology to the scripture...And if your theology don't fit, there's something wrong with your theology...
And the anti-Christ will handle that problem, since it will be required for everyone to worship him.
What is amazing isn't how sparse technology is, but how widespread it is and how today, with satellite technology we can envision the entire world seeing the return of Christ.
