False! Post your evidence! Get used to it, don't make broad claims about what the scriptures allegedly say unless you post the scripture, each and every time.
I thought you'd never ask!
Psalms 104:3
He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters, Who
makes the clouds His chariot, Who walks on the wings of the wind.
Isaiah 19:1
The burden against Egypt. Behold,
the LORD rides on a swift cloud, And will come into Egypt; The idols of Egypt will totter at
His presence, And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
OS, This passage was fulfilled when the Assyrians invaded Egypt, although it is prophetically described as
"God riding a swift Cloud"
Are you arguing that God actually rode a literal cloud into Egypt with the Assyrians? Can you prove anyone saw Him riding that cloud?
Psalm 18:7-14 and Joel 2:1-2 also speak of cloud comings.
Or How about 2 samuel 22:1-51?
This is David's grand tribute of thanksgiving for deliverance from his numerous and powerful enemies, and establishing him in the power and glory of the kingdom.
Notice the language that is used:
7 In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry entered His ears. 8 "Then
the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry. 9 Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it. 10 He bowed the heavens also, and
came down With darkness under His feet. 11 He rode upon a cherub, and flew; And
HE WAS SEEN upon the wings of the wind. 12 He made darkness canopies around Him, Dark waters and
thick clouds of the skies. 13 From the brightness before Him Coals of fire were kindled. 14 "The Lord thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered His voice. 15
He sent out arrows and scattered them; Lightning bolts, and He vanquished them. "
Are you arguing that God's actual nostrils were smoking?
Are you arguing that God
was seen on the wings of the wind?
Are you arguing the wind has wings?
Are you arguing that God personally sent actual arrows and actual lightning bolts that vanquished Davids enemies?
Youy must be, for your stated hermeneutic demands it.
Lastly (for now) Isaiah 52:10a
"The Lord has made bare His holy arm In the eyes of all the nations"
Do you believe this actually happened? you must for the Bible says it did, but where is any Historical evidence of every nation on earth witnessing
with their eyes Gods actual "arm"?
Surely such a monumental global event of Gods actual arm being seen by every eye of every nation would have been recorded in History somewhere yes?
Why don't you go ahead and explain to our readers where the Bible teaches you to interprate the event of God being seen by the "eyes of all nations" in polar opposite fashion to the event of Christ that "Every eye shall see"?
The "day of the Lord" in the NT can not be properly understood when one chooses to reject the precedent meaning of all past OT "day of the Lord" events, as you appear to be doing.
Let scripture
determine your eschatology, don't make scripture
conform to it.
