THE COMING OF CHRIST

Matthew 24:26-31

26 SO IF ANYONE TELLS YOU,

'THERE HE IS, OUT IN THE DESERT,'

DO NOT GO OUT;

OR, 'HERE HE IS, IN THE INNER ROOMS,'

DO NOT BELIEVE IT.

27 FOR AS THE LIGHTNING COMES FROM THE EAST

AND FLASHES TO THE WEST,

SO WILL BE THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN.

28 WHEREVER THERE IS A CARCASS,

THERE THE VULTURES WILL GATHER.

29 Immediately after the Distress of those day

'The sun will be Darkened,

And the moon will not give its light;

The stars will fall from the sky,

And the heavenly bodies will be Shaken.'

30 AT THAT TIME THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN

WILL APPEAR IN THE SKY,

AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WILL MOURN.

THEY WILL SEE THE SON OF MAN

COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY,

WITH POWER AND GREAT GLORY.

31 AND HE WILL SEND HIS ANGELS

WITH A LOUD TRUMPET CALL,

AND THEY WILL GATHER HIS ELECT

FROM THE FOUR WINDS,

'FROM ONE END OF THE HEAVENS TO THE OTHER.

(Matthew 24:26-31)
