Revelation 1:7 – How Can Every Eye See Christ When He Comes?

Revelation 1:7 tells us that every eye will see Christ when He comes. I explain how every eye will see Him.

Revelation 1:7: Every Eye Will See Him Video Transcript

One of the key aspects of the Second Coming of Christ is that every eye will see Him:

Revelation 1:7: 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.

How can every eye see Him?

The sky will darken, and the heavens will roll up like a scroll just before He comes:

Matthew 24:29-30: (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.
Revelation 6:13-14: (13) And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. (14) And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

This is likely to allow the people of earth to see another dimension open up. Isaiah and Revelation indicate that the wicked will see Christ appear, and they will be terrified by what they will see:

Isaiah 2:10-12: (10) Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty. (11) The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. (12) For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Revelation 6:15-17: (15) And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; (16) And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: (17) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

They realize that Christ is coming to shake the earth:

Isaiah 2:19-21: (19) And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. (20) In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; (21) To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
