“There will be signs in sun and moon and
stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of
the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the
expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the
heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in
a cloud with power and great glory.
But when these things begin to take
place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing
near.”
Jesus is explaining the end of the age to
his disciples, even before He was crucified.
He notes that there will be a period of great tribulation before His
return with even heaven being shaken.
People will be in distress at the time appointed for Christ to make a
glorious return. In my own mind I have
wondered how all of the earth will know of Jesus return. My perception is that Christ will fill the
skies in every place before every nation. The Jewish people will recognize Him
as the One who was crucified. To those who were anxiously awaiting Him, it will
be a time of celebration, but to the ones who were acting as though there is no
god, it will be a time of remorse and fear.
Regardless of our preparation He will return for the purposes of
judgment and to reign from the throne of David as prophesied.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, we do not know the time of Your
return, but we are looking for it. Not
because of our righteousness, but because of Your holiness, let us walk with You
until You make Your glorious advent. In
Your holy name I pray Amen.
