@Cameron143 's Post #121, where you'd said,
Right, so your question had to do with
Revelation 1:7's wording, which says,
"Behold, he cometh with clouds;
and
every eye shall see him, [that's
every eye existing on the earth at the time-slot being spoken of (His "RETURN"
to the earth)]
and they also which pierced him: [i.e.
a particular people]
and all kindreds [/tribes] of the earth shall wail because of him.
[as I understand it, the word "
TRIBES" in Scripture (here expressed as, '
tribes of the earth') only ever speaks of "the tribes of Israel" (so, at the time-slot being spoken of--far-future--I see in Scripture that there will be both
believers and
unbelievers amongst these "tribes" of the earth... my view is that the unbelieving among "all" of those "tribes" will be the ones who will "WAIL" because of Him)]
Even so, Amen."
So in this verse there's "
every eye"
AND "
they also which pierced Him"
AND "all
tribes of the earth" (existing on the earth at the time-slot being referenced: His Second Coming
to the earth, far-future to the time written)
You had essentially asked, how could the people "which pierced Him" (in 32ad) also still exist on the earth at His [far-future] Second Coming to the earth, if this Rev1:7 is indeed speaking of THAT (and not the 70ad events
that you see it speaking to).
My response involved the Matt23:35 / 2Chron24:20-22 "spans-of-time" matter (and its own "WHOM YE SLEW" designation).
IOW, the person 2Chron24:20-24 being referenced in Matthew 23:35 as being "WHOM YE SLEW" existed on the earth MANY YEARS prior to when the people Jesus was addressing (in Matt23) existed.
[likewise, with those in Rev1:7b "they
also which pierced Him" (
a particular people group) will still exist on the earth in that far-future time-slot when Jesus will be RETURNing
to the earth at Rev19: the Subject of Rev1:7
... yet, many yrs after the Cross]
Make sense?
