The Bible says, "Every eye will see Him" at His second coming, but if the world is round, and people live all over it, how can that be??

The answer to that is very simple: you can't. Revelation is wrong, and its authors clearly had no interest in adhereing to reality.
Revelation also says that, before the world ends, the stars will fall into the Earth's rivers and be fully submerged in them (Revelation 6:12-14, 8:10). The stars are several orders of magnitude larger than the Earth. Don't believe everything you read.
Some of the answers on this website have been sadly misinformed. This is not a metaphor, we won't all feel him in our hearts or read about him online because that isn't what the Bible says. If the Bible wanted us to know that we would read about him online or feel him in our hearts, it would have said "and every heart will feel him" or "and every HTML will bear witness to him." The Bible is VERY clear: "every EYE shall SEE him."
It's just a fairy tale. It's a campfire story designed to scare you into staying a Christian for as long as your rational mind will allow, which, unfortunately for many peoplpe, is the entire length of their lives. Let's all just grow up now and move on: the authors of the end-times prophecies clearly had no idea what they were talking about.

He is God and therefore omnipresent, He can do anything!
James? Where did Jesus say that? The Bible says Rom 1:20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Wow! Good point!
Although I can't answer this from any proof I have read, my theory is that He will make it possible. He can do anything, can He not? I don't very much believe it will be with TV, though..How would we have the time to film Him? At the moment He returns, we will all be stopped on the spot by the amazing power and noise and such. I somehow doubt tv stations will run to get cameras, or that He will manifest on our screens. I believe that all that is electricity will stop when He comes. Otherwise, those who have headphones on or such may not hear Him.
He has the plan, just have faith that it will go as He says. ;)
Blessings and love

Well man has become developed enough to look at a TV screen and see people on the other side of the world thanks to a little satellite in the sky. Don't you think Jesus has more power than a TV and satellite? We don't know how it will be done, but it will be done.

If Jesus be resurrected and walk on water...He can also supervent the laws of Physics to appear b4 everyone!
If Jesus could touch a leper and still be clean, if Jesus could touch a dead man and still be clean...Jesus "broke" many of the Mosaic laws in the OT, yet he was sinless!

Jesus is omnipresent he can appear to every single person all at one time. Remember He is God who's spoken word created the universe. Is there anything too difficult for the King of kings and Lord of lords. God Bless

a third of the earth will be destroyed by fire. the other two thirds will be able to see.
or by television.
or Jesus will circle around the earth.
it also says in Revelation that the two prophets in the end will be killed and the whole earth will look upon their bodies for three days. so they will likely be watching them on tv.

St. Paul provides the obvious explanation:
1Th 4:16 (4:15) For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment and with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ shall rise first.
========
1Th 4:17 (4:16) Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air: and so shall we be always with the Lord.
========

In a thunderstorm, you might see a flash in the sky and say "oh - there's lightning". You might not have seen the lightning, but you saw the flash, and heard the thunder.
Similarly, when he comes, everyone will know because it will have a global effect that can be seen and understood by everyone.
