Ok, I'll bite. No I didn't see jesus when he was manifested in the flesh.
In Isaiah chapter 40 it tell us about the coming of John the Baptist and the manifestion or reveal of the Lord.
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places
plain:
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. (Isaiah 4:3-5)
Notice here that Isaiah says "All flesh" would see the first manifestion of Christ together.
Well no one today has ever seen Christ in the flesh so this verse cannot be taken literally or physical any more then Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will seem Him. even they who pierced Him. Revelation 1:7 has a similar effect. The Romans who pierced Jesus are dead by the way.
Scripture is the best way to Interpret Scripture. These tow chapters are figurative language designed to show the scope and force of Christ's revelation, and especially the effect it would have upon the Jewish commonwealth. Remember the Bible also say Christ came to the Jews first.
You cannot say the Bible means what it says literally and physical in one place of the Bible but not in another place for that would be a bad hermeneutical approach.
Unless you can proof to me with scripture why unlike (Isaiah 4:3-5) we should believe Revelation 1:7 has to be taken literally and physically there could be another biblical view.
