Atheists & Christians: what is your take on flat earth? When Jesus returns, every eye will see Him (Rev.1:7), how is it possible on a globe?

The Earth will change when He comes.

(2 Peter 3:8-10)

8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

A person has to be ignorant about History, Math and Science to think the Earth is flat. They may be stupid as well.

Jesus returning is very unlikely but in the event it happens he'll be returning to a spherical Earth. I spent four years in the Coast Guard going to sea. I was a competent celestial navigator and an excellent coastal one. I know from direct experience we live on a globe I saw it demonstrated EVERY time I entered and left port and every time I computed Longitude /Latitude. I've watched the Sun rise, reach its zenith and set on many clear days with uninterrupted horizons. I've measured it with sextants. It's ALWAYS the same size.

I hope you're only trolling and know Revelations 1:7 isn't a scientific prediction but a metaphor. There's also no place, even on a flat Earth Jesus could be seen by everybody at once.

Your understanding is so, so that you fulfill what Jesus said in:

Mark 4:11 And He told them, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside, everything is expressed in parables.

But i'll explain it to you nevertheless- the phrase " every eye will see Him, even the ones who pierced Him" doesn't mean everyone will see Him but everyone will come to understand the mystery of God even those that reject Him.

Christians don't believe in a flat earth. How will every eye see Him? We don't know how that will happen, but we do know that it will happen because God's word the Bible tells us it will happen.

Television and the internet would enable many people to see Him.

the Flat Earth theory is ignorance in action......

My simple answer is, it's all bullshit...

And apparently you realize that fact.

I took the time to read and research the Bible. The Bible is ancient political bullshit.

Did you really think up this question all by yourself?

A flat earth is not necessary, because being prophesied to return in clouds, Jesus need not be visible directly. Like Revelation 1:7, the other scriptures prophesying Jesus' return tells us that he comes with clouds:

"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen." (KJV)

For clarification, Matthew 24:27-30 specifies that the sign of Jesus would be in heaven, and that he would be seen in the clouds of heaven, but also explains that the manner in which every eye would see Jesus is indirectly, as the flash from lightning that's obscured by clouds is visible, reflected from the opposite direction, and as a carcass could be spotted by the scavengers clustered around it:

"27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

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." (KJV)

In verse 23, he said not to believe it, if anyone says, "here is Christ":

"Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not." (KJV)

Jesus described so thoroughly the sign of his presence in Matthew 24, but if he were directly visible, what would be the point of giving us this sign?

Acts 1:9-11 also specifies that Jesus was obscured by clouds as he left, and that he would return in the same way:

"9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." (KJV)

Everyone sees the sign, but most ignore it while waiting for a physically visible Jesus. Like the Pharisees, the kingdom of God is in their collective midst, but "cometh not with observation":

"20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." - Luke 17 (KJV)

The Koine Greek ὑμῶν (hymōn), correctly translated as "you", within whom Jesus said the kingdom is, is in the plural, meaning all of them as a group, rather than each of them as individuals. Just as Jesus stood within the group of those Pharisees, citizens of God's Kingdom are among people today, such as those who quote Luke 17 to proclaim that the Kingdom of God is within each of them, as if it had been within each of the Pharisees then!

Immediately after that, Jesus once again says:

"22And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 23And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. 24For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day."
