We shall soon perceive further proof of this. After it is declared that the Lord shall come "in the clouds of heaven," it is added, as a necessary consequence, "and then shall _all the tribes of the earth_ mourn, when they _see_ the Son of Man coming in the clouds." In agreement with this are the words of John, "Behold, He cometh _with clouds_; and _every eye_ shall see Him." If this be understood of an event which is literally to take place, we must again believe an impossibility. This world is a _round_ body; and that which is visible to the inhabitants of one hemisphere, must be invisible to the dwellers on the other. Those who live upon one part of its surface cannot, by any possibility, see what is above the opposite part. This is a circumstance of daily experience:--at twelve o'clock at midnight the sun is visible to the inhabitants of the other side of this earth, and with them it is noon-day; but at that hour it is invisible to us; nor can we, by any possible means, obtain a sight of it. If, then, it be true that an object visible on one side of a globe, is invisible on the opposite, we inquire, In what situation must the Lord appear, that He may be seen at one and the same moment from _every part_ of a round body? Where, or in what part of the atmosphere must He be placed that _all the tribes of the earth_, (those on its _opposite sides_,) may behold Him at the same time? Such a position is not only difficult, but absolutely impossible, unless the figure of the globe were changed; and to believe that such will be the manner of our Lord's coming, is to involve ourselves in a labyrinth of absurdities.
