And the Jewish people would see Him return in clouds of heaven, just as He told the Apostles in Acts 1 and occurs in Zach.12:10.

Hmmm...

Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

Since we know that the Lord will come in a cloud in this same manner as he was taken up, would the Dispensationalists care to explain how in their theology all men on the earth will see this coming in the clouds?

Thanks,

I know what they're gonna say (because I've heard it): "It's on TeeVee!"

Oh that's not that hard for those of us who have seen the space shuttle circling the globe as it returns to earth.

A lot of people quite distant from the actual landing site see the shuttle coming back to earth, but only a few see its landing. The Lord Jesus and the armies of heaven will be much larger, and brighter, and more noticeable than the puny space shuttle, don't you think???

And if Jesus and the armies of heaven circle the globe once or twice on their descent, like the space shuttle, then every eye should be able to see His coming. However only those actually on the ground around Jerusalem will see the actual landing -- on the Mount of Olives, of course.

You're welcome --
