The Masters Seminary article: verse 12 is acknowledged to be about seeing Christ face-to-face, but a 1,000-year time gap is inserted between vv. 11 and 12 to salvage the cessationist reading.

The article concedes that verse 12 refers to seeing Jesus face-to-face, but argues Paul could not have known the time gap. Winger reads: "The gap between the subjects in verses 8-11 and verse 12 is many years but that was not obvious to Paul." Winger calls this a failure of verse-by-verse exegesis—verses 10-12 are continuous, not separated by millennia.
