I have advocated under great criticism, that what most have put off to the future actually did "shorty take place"
This is Preterism or at least Partial- Preterism, so don't try to disown it.
Your OP is an accusation that all other views are based on lies and delusions.
You interpret the Second Coming as Christ's spiritually knockong on our door, being born again and then again His appearance to us at death. His knocking, His calling and Salvation is spiritual and at death, there is no doubt that we will see and are with the Lord.
Make no mistake, there will be Hid physical appearance that will occur on earth. HE WILL COME IN THE CLOUDS AS HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN, AS THE ANGELS CLEARLY EXPLAINED TO THOSE WHO WITNESSED IT.
He will gather His elect, (not just one by one as they've died throughout history or as He lifted each of their veils, one by one); He will gather some 2.7 billion believers at once, in a twinkling of an eye and transform them into eternal spiritual (multi-dimensional) bodies.
He will come with His angels.
His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives and it will split in two.
He will judge the world and defeat the Anti-Christ in a great war - billions will die.
A worldwide earthquake will level buildings and mountains, with super volcanic eruptions, fire burning 1/3 of the planet, massive tsunamis, pestilence.
And for the only time in history ScottA will be silent - for about a half hour!
After the Great Tribulation carnage, Jesus will physically reign on earth for 1000 years, in a Paradise reborn with only Christians.
If you understand that there is no clay and no time in the revelation of "all truth", then understand that I have not been speaking of the things of God with regard to the things or the times of this world,
There is no need to measure time in heaven. Time is a physical dimension. But one moment to the next or a conversation passes time, it's just not measured by earth's or the sun's rotation, minutes or hours. But eternity passes time, moment to moment. And John estimated a period of time that passed in heaven, (which was his earthly concept of time) from one event _ 30 minutes of silence _ to the next event.
You are so adament about there not being any clay in heaven. Well, the Lord will save you some Silly Putty on earth... as much as you want.
