So, double second comings. Blatantly unbiblical and a blatant mis understanding of scripture. Revelation and it’s events described things that had already happened. The modern version of Revelation interpretation has only been around a couple hundred years. It’s one of the most ridiculous things. Its to say God is indecisive and is involved in overly complex timelines that make no spiritual sense whatsoever, that God is flaky. There’s a reason that book is so far removed from anything else in the Bible. Its symbolic. Allegory. And it’s just as beautiful and relevant that way as any other. Those letters never would have been allowed to leave Patmos if John didn’t appear as a crazy person. To take the book as literal yet at the same time symbolic is heresy. You can’t pick and choose what’s symbolic and literal at a whim. Lots of sources that explain Revelation everywhere. But I assume folks are more thrilled with the blood red oceans and moons falling from sky during dragons biting heads off story line.

God doesn’t write horror novels to scare his people.

Your response being unnecessarily nasty, combative, somewhat incoherent, and unsupported with scripture, I’ll take a hopefully not unwise chance and ask you one question.

How do you reconcile:

“For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matt. 24:27.

with

“[Y]ou do not know what hour your Lord comes. But...if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.” Matt. 24:42-43.

?

In verse 27 he comes as lightning who everyone sees coming from one end of the earth to the other and in verse 43 he comes as a “thief”, with stealth, who no one sees coming.
