Much of the book "The Jewish War" is about exactly that - but not in the sense you think. There was not a giant Jesus standing on clouds - but there was a marauding army, which was the form taken by His coming. Again, this is not unique in Jewish prophecy; the Babylonian captivity was prophesied using similar language, and was also fulfilled by an enemy army.
I suppose I always knew you would get to that ...
There was not a giant Jesus standing on clouds ...
There is none in the text of Matt 24 either ...
but there was a marauding army, which was the form taken by His coming
So his 2nd coming wasn't a literal event of him coming in the clouds, but rather it was actually a Roman army coming to destroy Jerusalem?
the Babylonian captivity was prophesied using similar language, and was also fulfilled by an enemy army.
Yes, and the Babylonian captivity prophecy was fulfilled LITERALLY! ... Habakkuk prophesied a literal army would come and put Israel into captivity ... it came true literally.
Its kind of ironic that you would argue that a literal interpretation of the Babylonia captivity supports your non-literal interpretation of the second coming.
Wrapped around the axle officially ...
