Some standing here

Acts 2:3

3 Then there appeared to them cloven tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.




Please explain to me how they visibly saw the son of man in Acts 2 with their own eyes. And where does it say that?

The Holy Ghost is Jesus.

Jesus manifested himself to them in that fashion.

It never happened again.

The cloven tongues were a fulfillment of a promise that Jesus would visibly appear in His kingdom.

Isa 19:1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD RIDETH UPON A SWIFT "CLOUD", and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

Does scripture record anyone seeing the Lord riding on a cloud, and do you believe they've visibly seen Him riding on a cloud?
And here we have Ejypt melting, yet can you explain about what has taken place with the melting of Ejypt, since you demand planet earth having a meltdown in other scripture?



Yet when Jesus told them they would see the son of man, and even though nobody in Acts 2 actually visibly saw the son of man, you still believe that Matt. 16:28 was fulfilled when it reads:
Matthew 16:

28 "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

because Acts 2:3 reads that cloven tongues appeared to them.


But then in Revelation the Lord is coming with the clouds, on a white horse, with a sword coming out of his mouth, and you say that's one for the visible eye to see, sword, horse, clouds and all.


And you honestly don't see the conflict of inconsistency?
