1. Every Eye Will See Him

The remarkable Victory of Jesus Christ will occur in many scriptural passages that are dealing with our future.  Revelation 1:7 and Daniel 7:13-14 give us the description of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.  Note that there are two Second Coming events.  A remarkable part of the Daniel passage is the "son of man" which is a pointer to Jesus Christ as He took our place for the restitution of all people. 

Those people that do not accept Jesus Christ as their Savior in life was known by God at the foundation of the Earth, and Jesus Christ still made the restitution for ALL.  Many Biblical Scholars have stated that God will not be accused of not offering the loving solution to avoid the Lake of Fire through Jesus Christ's payment on the Cross at the Great White Thrown of Judgment.

Revelation 1:7 Look, He is coming with the clouds," and "every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him"; and all peoples on earth "will mourn because of Him." So shall it be! Amen.
Daniel 7:13-14 13 I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Ephesians 1:4 Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
2 Corinthians 5:15 And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them and was raised again.

There is so much beauty in Revelation 1:7 and Daniel 7:13-14 which many of us have read quickly and possibly did not discern the magnitude of ramifications. 

As you read the following points, remember there is no such thing as magic and God is not magical:

  1. "Every eye" (on the Earth) "will see Him" from our perspective in understanding any event would require simultaneous Satellite and Internet broadcasting to have everyone, who desires, to see an event; but this is not what the scriptural passage is stating.  We perceive that we live in a four-dimensional world of height, width, depth and time but there are more dimensions.  Scientist have been discussing for decades that we live in at least 10 Dimensions and our Universe is part of a larger reality as read in this article from www.UniverseToday.com.   (See topic on Time Domains for more information.)

    Job 38:19-20 19 What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside? 20 Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings?
    Isaiah 46:10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'
    Isaiah 57:15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.

    (1.a) Revelation 21:1 lets us know there will be a New Heaven and New Earth where the Universe that we are part of will be burnt away (2 Peter 3:10-13).  Note there are multiple and possibly infinite other universes alluded to in the scriptures.  The ramifications of Revelation 21:1 means that God exists everywhere and is also outside of our Universe

    Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; and the sea is no more.
    2 Peter 3:10-13 10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. 11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! 13 But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.

    (1.b) Understand that in order for our Universe to be destroyed with a new one coming in its place then God is not confined to the boundaries of our Universe. 

    Recall that Jesus walked through walls when He appeared to the Disciples in John 20:19-20 which demonstrates use of a greater Dimension of space.   It is the belief of this writer that Jesus is going to open up one of the greater Dimensions to permit the world to see Him from any point on the globe to fulfill this prophecy statement of Rev 1:7.

    John 20:19-20 19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. 

  2. Notice in Revelation 1:7, that that everyone sees Him including those who pierced Him, which is dealing with those who were there at the Crucifixion and had a part in putting Jesus Christ on the Cross with an unlawful reason.  The people who pierced Him are already dead and are in either two places:
    (2.a) waiting for the Judgment from Sheol, or
    (2.b) or now in Heaven if they accepted Him as their Savior. 
     
    The scriptural tie between Revelation 1:7 and Psalm 22:16 (shown below) indicates the wicked additionally will see Him.  Regarding the ability for all to be able to see, points to Jesus opening up a greater dimensional view in space to allow them in Sheol to see Him along with those on Earth and in Heaven.
     

  3. Psalm 22:16 is a Prophetic Messianic verse which is describing the death of the Lord Christ Jesus on the Cross.  Notice the "pierced my hands and feet", which also points to Rev 1:7 as the "including those that pierced Him", which are the wicked.   (For more information see the topic on the Psalm 22 prophecies.)
    Psalm 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
    Revelation 1:7 Look, He is coming with the clouds," and "every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him"; and all peoples on earth "will mourn because of Him." So shall it be! Amen.

  4. In the beautiful chapter of Isaiah 53, that is often described as the Holy Of Holies in Old Testament, it describes the first mission of Jesus Christ and how "He was cut off from the land of the living" in verse 8.  Our God will have everyone who has lived and who is living to see The Event of His Return showing that His first Mission succeeded and the start of the Mission of His Second Coming is beginning.
     
    Isaiah 53:8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due? 

    All of us that are Saved, in the event that Revelation 1:7 is describing will mourn for Him and especially those that are Saved from the Nation of Israel. 
    (4.a) The Crucifixion has been described as one of the most painful and torturous deaths that has ever been used.  What Jesus Christ did also was take on the full Wrath of God for the punishment of our sins.   Without Jesus Christ's provision, we would face the Great White Thrown of Judgment without any hope and be sent to the Lake of Fire that was prepared for the Fallen Angels.
    (4.b) Jesus Christ was separated from God the Father and God the Holy Spirit for that period of Time which we can never comprehend the tearing apart of perfect Love and Unity that Jesus the Christ has with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. 
    This is why God will have everyone see that Event of His Return which proves many, many things that include God the Father's great Love for the Sacrifice done by His Son Jesus Christ!

2. Everyone Entering Eternity with God

The scriptures show us that everyone that enters Eternity with God will have total understanding that we could not be there unless the Crucifixion made the only way for us. 

It is the writer's belief that everyone's emotional/intellectual capacity to emphasize, relate and comprehend the suffering that Jesus Christ went through for his entire life and also on the Cross, will be greatly enhanced, in Eternity for many reasons:

With our new perfect bodies and enhanced intelligence, we will be able to feel and understand the full effect of Jesus suffering and death that He took in our place.  Many Biblical Scholars state that we will see and feel Jesus Christ on the Cross looking at us and saying:

"I AM enduring this torture and death for you because of my Infinite Love for you!"  

3. Jesus Mistreated and not Believed in by many for His Whole Life

Many of us do not realize that Jesus was mistreated by others before His Ministry. 

In John 8:41, the Pharisees are arguing in a fierce and condescending way with Jesus Christ and insulting Jesus Christ with " ... We were not born of fornication ...".  They are calling Jesus a Bastard, which is someone who does not know whom his father was.  Jesus replies back with greater fierceness to let them know:

  1. Who Jesus Christ's Father Is and He is God the Father - "if God were your Father, you would love Me",
  2. That they (the Pharisees) were listening and following their father, Lucifer

If these same men, eventually were Saved then they will grieve for the words spoken.  If they never were Saved, their words will haunt them for eternity in the Lake of Fire where it is this author's opinion that everyone in the Lake of Fire, include Fallen Angels, human beings, Nephilim (who become Demons after death) will mourn in all of the twelve items listed in that topic's "12 Areas of Suffering in the Eternal Lake of Fire."

John 8:39-44 39 They (the Pharisees) answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham s children ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham. 41"You are doing the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God." 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. 43 "Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. 44 "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

What to read next?

What is the significance of Psalm 22 to Revelation 1:7?  Day of the Week Jesus Died on the Cross and it was not Friday.  What is Salvation?  Is it possible to lose Salvation?  We have eternal life Evolution is not real.  When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it.  Rewards in heaven.  Do we Tithe?  What does the 3rd Commandment tell us?  What is Grace and Mercy?  Is there an Age of Accountability?  Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
