part the third: the direction of the second coming

“The prominence of Christ's return in Scripture is an indication that this event is important to God, and as a result, it should be important to us.”
Multiple repetitions of a statement or the prominence of a subject is not indicative of its importance. The God of Israel is “one” and although this wording is only found once in the Old Testament, it forms the basis of monotheism and Judaism.
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” Deuteronomy 6:4
“Did you know that Enoch predicted the Second Coming of Christ?” and what follows is the quotation of the fourteen and fifteen verses of the first chapter of the Book of Jude. Jude does not quote from the Old Testament, but places these words into Enoch’s mouth.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, “Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints…” Jude 1:14
“The place of Christ's return is an interesting subject because the Bible tells us where He is going to arrive when He comes back.”
“And his [the Lord, v. 3] feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.” Zecheriah 14:4
The Bible tells us the Lord will stand on the mount of Olives. The Lord of the Old Testament is not identical to Jesus of the New Testament.
“When He returns, the entire world will witness His arrival. Previous generations struggled with that possibility, but in today's context, it's completely plausible thanks to technology.”
It seems that without modern technology, Jesus’ second coming would not be possible.
“If the One who spoke the world into being wants everybody to see Him when He comes back, He can make that happen. We don't know how it's going to happen, but the Bible says every eye, in every place, in every corner of the world, will witness His return.”
On a globe earth, the spherical nature will insure that there will be people who cannot see Jesus’ return. However, on a flat earth, it possible that everyone will see Jesus’ glorious return.
Tabula Rogeriana, 1154 by Muhammad al-Idrisi with south orientation.
DISCUSS the direction of ancient European maps where south is the top of the map.
These maps look from Europe to the Mediterean Sea-the right hand was the west.
Now, maps are orientated to the north and the east is the right hand.

Then Pilate commanded the veil to be drawn before the judgement-seat whereon he sat, and saith unto Jesus: Thy nation hath convicted thee (accused thee) as being a king: therefore have I decreed that thou shouldest first be scourged according to the law of the pious emperors, and thereafter hanged upon the cross in the garden wherein thou wast taken: Gospel of Nicodemus Book 9:5
