[QUOTE="Abs, post: 2093711, member: 274044"] Scriptures should never be understood in isolation. One must take the context of the entire Bible before one can learn what any particular scripture means. 1) Jesus "comes with the clouds." Just as the sun is invisible to the eye, yet it can still be "seen," or discerned, Jesus comes with the clouds. This view is supported by Scripture: “Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” - Matthew 24:30 “Look! He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him." - Revelation 1:7 “A little longer and the world will behold me no more.” - John 14:19 2) In the Scriptures, to "see" something can mean, not to physically see it, but to discern it. This also is supported by Scripture: "For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made." Romans 1:20 [/QUOTE]
