You're dancing on me here! Do you believe that that sign of the Son of man appeared in 70 AD or not??? Yes or No --
I thought you guys had all the answers -- so answer it.
Not at all. Without referencing Scofield’s Notes, you show us from the Bible where "the sign of the son of man" must "literally" mean the second coming.
If you come back and say something like, "but it looks like the second coming to me" or "but everyone knows it the second coming", then we will now that your emperor is not wearing any clothes.
Give it a shot Chipper and see what you can do. Exegetes some Scripture for a change.
