THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN
Keywords 24:30
"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.
1. Jesus spoke of calamitous events that would come.
Jerusalem would be destroyed in 70 A.D. At that time, the temple was
desecrated, as the prophet Daniel spoke of. It was unequaled distress, but
there was more. When the Son of Man comes again there will be all kinds of
threats. False messiahs will arise performing wondrous signs to deceive God’s people. Anyone who promotes the worship of anything
other than God who sent Jesus is false. Jesus cautioned the believers so that
they wouldn’t follow anyone opposed to God.
2. When Jesus does come, it will not be a secret. It
will be as visible as lightning, as obvious as a vulture near a carcass. There
will be heavenly signs and then he will appear with power and great glory.
Jesus is coming to gather his elect. His coming is the hope of all who wait for him. He will
gather all those who stand firm, who do not follow false messiahs, but trust in
him through the times of distress.
Prayer Lord, help
me not to be deceived by anything false in this world. Bless me to wait for Jesus
to come with power and glory.
One Word Wait for
the Son of Man
