The Glorious Appearing – II

October 18, 2009

 

 

Text – Matthew 24:29-31

 

I  Matthew 24:29 –this verse tells us when the Glorious appearing takes place.

      1  Immediately after the tribulation of those days -  (not in A.D. 70)

      2   Here is revealed a set time.

                  Galatians 4:4  when the time was come Christ came

                  Psalm 102: 13-16  when a set time comes, Christ comes

 

II  Matthew 24:29 lists some of the events that will accompany the Glorious Appearing

      The sun shall be darkened

The moon shall not give her light

Joel 2:31 helps to understand how.

The stars shall fall from Heaven, the powers of Heaven shall be shaken

Joel 3:15 the same words

Ezekiel 32:7-8 - what God says He will do

Isaiah 13:9-10 -  God will do this

Isaiah 24:21-23  again we have like information

God is going to put out all the lights and bring darkness on the earth

Exodus 10:21-22 – thick darkness for three days.

The events preceding Israel’s Exodus from Egypt typify many of the events that will accompany the Glorious Appearing

 

III  Matthew 24:30  And then- more time words

            1 “shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven

              Revelation 14:14  will this be the sign?

2        Daniel 7:13  One like the Son of man came with the clouds of Heaven

3        Revelation 1:13, 18 certainly identifies the Son of Man The book of Matthew speaks of the Son of Man at least 18 times

4        Acts 7:55-56  Stephen saw the Son of Man standing

 

IV  Matthew 24:30 …and then shall they see the Son of man coming in power & glory

1.      He comes in great power

Isaiah 11:4  He will smite and slay

Isaiah 40:10  He comes with a strong hand

Isaiah 63:1-6   He comes in the “greatness of His strength”

2        He comes in great glory

Numbers 14:21  all the earth

Psalm 96:1-3   all people
