mentioned certain events by which they

might know when His coming was near.

“There shall be signs,” He said, “in the sun,

and in the moon, and in the stars.” Luke

21:25. And He speaks still more plainly: “The

sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not

give her light, and the stars shall fall from

heaven.” Matthew 24:29.

Upon the earth, He said, there shall be

“distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea

and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing

them for fear, and for looking after those

things which are coming on the earth.” Luke

21:25, 26.

“And they shall see the Son of man coming in

the clouds of heaven with power and great

glory. And He shall send His angels with a

great sound of a trumpet, and they shall

gather together His elect from the four winds,

from one end of heaven to the other.”

Matthew 24:30, 31.
