A Biblical Lesson on Spiritual Discernment

[Truth7t7]

Like futurists, they look for another coming after the resurrection instead of recognizing that Christ literally left the earth, went into the grave, prepared a place for us, and returned in all power and glory through His resurrection.

Your symbolic representation of the Lord's past resurrection, and it replacing his future, literal, visible, second coming in the heavens is 100% "Wrong", your claim is in complete denial of the future, literal event seen below, that will take place on this earth, with literal human eyes that will witness the future event

Jesus Is The Lord

Matthew 24:29-31KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Jesus Is The Lord

Matthew 24:29-31KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

You're calling my view symbolic, but it's the exact opposite. I'm saying this all really happened. Jesus really left this world, really went into the grave, really beat death, and really came back in power and glory when He rose. That's history, not a symbol. I'm not spiritualizing anything, I'm pointing at a real event.

Look at what John says happened at the cross:
"They shall look on him whom they pierced." (John 19:37)

John takes that prophecy from Zechariah and says flat out - this got fulfilled, right here, at the cross. Done. Not "someday." It happened right then at the cross.

And that same "pierced" line shows up again in Revelation 1:7, tied to Jesus "coming with clouds." So if John already says the piercing part came true back then, that coming isn't parked way off in our future, it's tied to when it actually happened.

Do you agree that "They shall look on him whom they pierced." happened at the cross?

Is Matthew 24:29:31 going to be a literal future event on this earth, please explain?

When will it take place? Is it symbolic? Has it already taken place?

Matthew 24:29-31KJV
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Of course I do. But the question I asked you was - Do you agree that "They shall look on him whom they pierced." happened at the cross?
