He will return in like manner as He left. We all have an idea of what that means, but couldn't clearly picture it. He'll be returning on a horse. This leaves us wondering what that means. I can readily accept that it is a literal horse. But I sure wouldn't die on that hill. I can just as readily accept that it is figurative for something else, but I couldn't begin to figure out what. So, it's not unknowable. It's a matter of specifics and details that are unknowable.

Just wanted to be clear that I was just stated what I understood a DT perspective to be, this statement was not my personal belief.

From a DT perspective, David's words could not be rightly understood until Jesus rose from the dead.
I can work my way through that. But I don't understand the implications of the CT's approach to these passages.

I think a CT approach says the same thing - they are not rightly understood until Jesus rose from the dead. What the CT adds is that what is revealed by the NT's use of this Psalm is that it is perfectly legitimate to understand OT prophecies that had David as their referent to be referring to Christ. I think usually the DT is onboard for this (although I have heard some state that David will be resurrected to rule in Jerusalem, this has been on the fringe). Usually were they part company is when you start doing this with the temple.
