The bible says every eye will see him. Would God choose to appear to every generation simultaneously?

What a fascinating thought! What made you think of that? That would certainly put certain immanency phrases such as "this generation shall not pass," etc. in a whole new light.

All time in linear.
Jesus will appear in the air and I suspect that this prophecy could not have been fulfilled prior to CNN. Today everyone can watch the same thing from anywhere on the globe.
His angels will descend upon the four corners of the firmament, first heaven, to usher those who are ascending to meet the Lord in the air.

Actually that would be non linear time. Linear means traveling in a straight line. You are talking about traveling different points at the same time.

This idea of a Second coming is a misunderstanding of scripture.
Jesus has no intention of returning as a living human. He already did that.
This time Jesus is returning in the hearts of those who have accepted his message and try to live their lives to emulate his teachings. Few actually do this. It requires a radically different interpretation of love from the one understood by most so-called believers. Most people see love as something that you keep in reserve only for those you have judged worthy of it.
This is not love at all. This is only judgment. Judgment is the exact opposite of what Jesus was teaching. Remember judge not lest ye be judged. Jesus asks us to love our neighbor. Notice that there is no accept for in this statement. Every one is intended to be included in this love Jesus ask us to have for our fellow man. This type of universal application of love requires no judgment on our part because Jesus’' intent was that no one be left out of it.
This is a difficult pill to swallow for any religion that thinks of it's self as being the one true and only correct way to God. This idea of exclusivity is the exact opposite of the message of inclusively that Jesus gave us.
Attaining the goals that Jesus set for us may be difficult within the constraints most religions impose. This is why many who seriously try to emulate the true teachings of Jesus in their lives do not ascribe to any particular religious following. They follow the truth in their hearts where Jesus has taken up residence.
Love and blessings.

Are you living in fear? Just go and live your life and have fun because worrying about nonsense like that is a waste of time.

Yes I think that God can achieve this if that is how He wants it.
