How does any of that explain the battle of Armageddon and the seven vials of wrath. There are 22 chapters in the book of Revelation and we seem to be just scratching the surface on things. I don't know enough to say anything matter of factually except the Immanence of Jesus return and the resurrection.

Rev 1:7 says that Christ would come and those who pierced him would see him. That means the actual generation and not their descendants because Ezekiel 18:1-4 said the sins of the fathers could not be put upon the children so as to make the children guilty of crucifying the Lord. Otherwise, if it's Jews today it's racism. And the Greek for KINDREDS OF THE EARTH is literally TRIBES OF THE LAND.

Anyway, check this free online book out:

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

MB The scripture says the dead are going to rise first. Those arrayed in white robes who return with Jesus at His second coming, are those who you believe them to be? And we which are alive and remain, is that the final resurrection or the catching up of the rest?

I believe the final resurrection is the catching away of the saints. There is only one time for resurrection. The saints who've gone on before will of course come with Christ. We'll meet them in the air. The Greek term MEET implies going out to meet someone and ushering them back here.

Won't everyone in the resurrection see him? In other words those who died 2000 years ago will one day see the one they pierced without it actually being in that generation?

Ex 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
