... but not in the sense you think.

I suppose I always knew you would get to that ...

There was not a giant Jesus standing on clouds ...

There is none in the text of Matt 24 either ...

but there was a marauding army, which was the form taken by His coming

So his 2nd coming wasn't a literal event of him coming in the clouds, but rather it was actually a Roman army coming to destroy Jerusalem?

the Babylonian captivity was prophesied using similar language, and was also fulfilled by an enemy army.

Yes, and the Babylonian captivity prophecy was fulfilled LITERALLY! ... Habakkuk prophesied a literal army would come and put Israel into captivity ... it came true literally.

Its kind of ironic that you would argue that a literal interpretation of the Babylonia captivity supports your non-literal interpretation of the second coming.

Wrapped around the axle officially ...

"Here endeth the lesson ... "

Wouldn't you like to see something that was written in 70AD about Jesus throwing the Antichrist and False Prophet alive into the lake of fire that He tells us in Revelation 19:20 He will do at the end of the Tribulation?

Funny how such a momentous historic event has never gotten any attention at all.
