As some already know, when the Messiah first arrives, he arrives as if a "thief" and only to his own followers. There would be no major public display when he first arrives. Of note, you are referred to the woman who gives birth to the kingdom. Immediately afterwards what does she do? She flies with EAGLES wings into the "wilderness", "out of the sight of the dragon! Then she is fed for 42 months.
This is the biggest clue that only the "eagle" class would be in attendance when the Messiah comes. It is only their "eyes" that would see the Messiah at first and only their eyes that would witness the miraculous "sign of the Son of Man" in the clouds.
It is only the "eagles" as noted in Matthew who would be surrounding the corpse of the Messiah when he first appears and only they would know who he was.
Matthew 24:28 says: "Wherever the carcass is, there the EAGLES will be gathered together."
So not everyone would know about the Messiah, in fact only the eagles would know. The reason Jesus is called a "carcass" is because of the nature of his Second Coming. At Jesus' first coming, he came in the perfect flesh and thus gained knowledge of how it was to be human, but in the perfect flesh. He did not experience, therefore, what imperfection was like. So to complete his education and understanding of humanity, it was arranged that he would acquire personal knowledge of imperfection by acquiring the identity of one of his imperfect followers at his Second Coming. But interestingly, this would not be someone who was always faithful. But a Prodigal Son. One who knew God's word and was once a a part of God's house but then, distracted by his imperfections, left God's house and abandoned true worship and led a debauched life. Thus he became spiritually dead, like a "carcass."
That's why, as the Prodigcal Son, when the Father sees him returning, he rejoices and makes him the Messiah by giving him the "best robe" and putting a seal ring on his hand and a banquet. The banquet, of course, is a common theme throughout many prophetic parables in scripture of the secret gathering of the Messiah when he comes. We note this generally as the "wedding feast" in the parable of the "ten virgins" and in the illustration where many are invited but few show up for the wedding feast and thus many invited are replaced. (Matt. 22:14). This is another subtle clue that the Prodigal Son is really prophetic of the Messiah.
At any rate, the main point here is, that the "eagle" class would have all this figured out in advance and would be expecting the Messiah and to see the "sign of the Son of man" in the clouds when the Messiah took up kingdom power.
The question is, though, since based upon the Biblical and now astronomically confirmed date for the fall of Jerusalem in 529BCE dates the return in 1992, did the eagle class actually witness this miraculous "sign of the Son of man" in the clouds. And if so, what was it like.
The answer, of course, is Yes!
It did appear in a special place during the afternoon of December 26, 1992. It was "cloud art" for lack of a better term. That is, the shapes of the clouds in mid-heaven is what made up this "sign of the Son of man" which was a direct heavenly manifestation that the kingdom had just been born.
What was that sign?
The sign itself was that of a child lying on its back on a cloud next to the image of a dove, representing holy spirit, of course. And that was the "sign of the Son of man", a double image of a child and a dove.
Now what is amazing about this type of manifestation, is that this was something that was LITERAL! That is, it wasn't a vision everybody had or a spiritual manifestation, but something literal and thus ...IT WAS CAUGHT ON FILM!
It was caught on film for future reference. Thus they have "proof" the event actually took place when it did, just in case there is ever a time when this might be questioned and casually dismissed for the non-believers, which of course, many would doubt and why not if they didn't witness it themselves. Those photos will, of course, be a powerful argument for the reality of the event, as I say, if and when the time comes to divy up the proof.
In conclusion, many persons are doubters, and why not? This is a "seeing is believing" world. Up until 1992 scoffers could always say: "Where is this promised coming of his?" "Where is the Messiah?"
But that was just up until 1992 which was the SCHEDULED date of his arrival based upon accurate chronology.
But now AFTER 1992, the ball is in the court of the Christians to prove their Messiah appeared on time. That's because it is now AFTER THE FACT. So it's a little bit different now. It's a different story when before 1992 they would say, "We have faith he'll arrive in 1992", than when afterwards they'd have to say: "We are still waiting, but we have faith he will come, he is delaying, "generation" is a very flexible term!"
Please note, 1992 is within a generation of 1914, that is, 80 years from 1914 is 1994.
So now after the fact, we should be seeing some evidence the Messiah actually arrived and the sign of the Son of man should have been fulfilled. That would have been the first of many visible indications that the Messiah had taken up kingdom power.
So since that sign did appear (and there are photos), the faith of the eagles is soaring! Things happened just as prophesied in the Bible. And as Armageddon approaches and many other things are starting to occur as we wind into the millennium, many are realizing how true the Bible is and how perfect its prophecies are.
That is, for those who actually believe the Bible and who are watching closely. For those who doubt the Bible and who are not watching closely, or who have the wrong dates and are trying to make things work with wrong dates, then they will miss out.
As a final note, even though things might have been a little misunderstood specifically in the beginning, Habbakuk 2:3 confirms the actual date for the Second Coming is a SCHEDULED DATE in Scripture and "Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it; for it will without fail come true. IT WILL NOT BE LATE."
So now, AFTER-THE-FACT, the message is not, "He's arriving! He's arriving!" But "He arrived! He arrived!"
And there is very little anybody can do or say about it since there are pictures of the event. Of course, it is logical to presume they will be made public at the appropriate time.
In the meantime, the Bible has to be the basis for belief in 1992 and the Prodigal Son Messiah.
Remember the woman who lost her drachma coin and searched until she found it, and then what did she do? She called her friends over. Another Messianic link to that private banquet theme. All this parable prophesies is at the Second Coming the Messiah would fulfill being a "lost sheep" whom had to be found. And when he was, there was more fuss made over him than the 99 who had not strayed. In other words, out of all the anoitned ones who could have been chosen to be the Messiah, a "lost sheep" was chosen. Thus the "lost sheep" or the "lost drachma coin" or the "lost prodigal son" were the reason for a banquet. Only this banquet was the same "wedding feast" of the gathering of the anointed around the Messiah when he comes. A private gathering for the "eagle" class only!
That's why even now when someone mentions "evolution" or "radiocarbon dating" or the "flood" with doubts regarding the Bible, the JIOR just start laughing! They KNOW the Bible is absolutely true since they have seen the "sign of the Son of man" appear exactly when it was prophesied to appear millenniums after it was prophesied.
The Bible is always true.
Know this.
