And it is increasingly clear through your deflection that the incongruity does trouble you, actually. And unlike what you call the "Futurists", who have to leave what they don't understand about a mysterious and miraculous future event down to faith, you can't rely on mysteries of faith to explain an absense of fact about our world's most important historical event.
Did anyone read the Gospel and get an impression that Jesus was telling us that, between the two, His second coming would be the more intimate and understated affair?
Law, good catch that the very people referenced in the quote Dreamliner hangs it all on (aside from ignoring plenty of others) don't bother to verify the event he believes they were promised to literally, bodily witness in their lifetimes. I was staring right through that.
