Have you ever thought about some of the statements in the Bible and other Holy books. Lets take one and have a discussion.
How would it be possible that every living being would see Jesus trailing clouds of glory at the same time?
And why clouds. What do clouds have to do with his return?

That is the most ridiculous statement if ever I heard one. That is why there is so much ignorance in the world. The Bible is full of all kinds of statement and events that are definitely tied to the metaphysical.

Jesus stated that he would return trailing clouds of glory and all of man would see him. The spreading of the word is the ministering to all the world. That has been going on for some time.
His statement was clear.

When the bible uses absolutes it is usually based on old world geography. For example we know that the "whole world" was not enrolled in Caesar's tax, we know the entire planet was not flooded in the days of Noah, not everyone shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake, Diana, is not whom all Asia and the world worships, and all the world will not wonder after the beast and worship the dragon.
I'm convinced it's regional wordplay, at most, semi-continental in almost all cases.
In my opinion, it might be literal + news + television + internet + photos + videos.
Every eye shall see him.
oh, and about the clouds...
