There is a key to understanding well. If there wasn't then views are just speculation. The question is, what is it the key and how is it used? In my view, the various assumptions that are the basis for interpretation in pop theology are woefully inadequate.

and separating what people claim and an imagination based on science fiction from the real deal is the desired domain.

A deception mimics the real thing to a point where one cannot tell the difference. My question is, what is the determining factor that enables one to identify the real from the false?

If a gift becomes an exchange is is not a gift, it is a trade. Presenting God's gift as a trade (exchange) does violence to God's generosity and becomes a gross misrepresentation. One is not compelled to treasure a gift, one can in fact do with it as one pleases, discard it, ignore it...

I think it is saying the same thing in a different way. I have also thought it is a pointer as a sign is, in the sense that Jesus arrival will be seen as coming from a distance and getting progressively closer and brighter till the whole sky is filled with billions of angelic beings escorting...

Ohhh, but isn't the old covenant annulled?

I leave it unexplained because it’s as obvious as a train smash. You do not see it because your attention is elsewhere… and what’s more, you cannot and will not see it because your multiple justifications won’t allow it. Jesus also asked the religious teachers, ‘why can’t you hear what I’m...

It is a conundrum for you, However I speak of it because I see Jesus!
