How

Hey, it's Abria. It's almost eight o'clock on Saturday, the

Sabbath day on March twenty third, twenty twenty four. I

wanna go over to study how Second Coming Christ came

to the earth. We're gonna read Matthew chapter twenty four,

verse three, signs of the End of the Age. As

he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came

to him privately, saying, tell us, when will these things be?

And what will be the sign of your coming in

of the end of the age. And Jesus answered them,

See that no one leads you astray, for many will

come in my names saying I am the Christ. And

they will leave many. And you will hear of wars

and rumors of wars. See that you are not alied,

for this must take place. But the end is not yet.

For nation will rise against the nation, and kingdom against kingdom.

And there'll be famines and earthquakes in various places, all

these beginning of birth pains. Then they will deliver you

up to tribulation, plight you to death, and you will

be hated by all nations for my namesake. And then

many will fall away and betray one another, and hate

one another, and many false prophets will arise and leave

many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love

of many will grow cold. But the one who enjoyed

to the end will be saved. And this gospel of

the Kingdom will be claimed throughout the whole nation, of

testimony to all nations. And then the end will come.

So clearly, Jesus was sitting with the disciples, and they

wanted to ask him privately, when will these things be?

What will be the sign of his second coming? Since

he was sitting with them, and the sign of the

end of the age, Then what was the sign of

his second coming? The coming of the Son of Man?

In verse twenty nine, immediately after the tribulation of those days,

the sun will be darkened and the moon will not

give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven,

and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then

we'll appear in heaven the sign of the Sun of Man.

And then all the tribes of the earth will warn

they will see the Son of Man coming on the

clouds of heaven with power and great glory, and he

will send out his angels a loud trumpet call and

they will gather his elects from the four winds, from

one end of the heavens to the other. Then the

sign of the Son of Man will be that he

comes to the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Then what is the difference between his second coming and

the end of the age to go to second Thessalonians

one verse six, Second Testsonians one verse six, The judgment

at Christ Coming. This is talking about judgment at Christ coming.

This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that

you may be considered worthy of the Kingdom of God,

for which you are also suffering. Since indeed God it

considers it just to repaid with affliction those who afflict you,

and to grant relief to you who are afflicted, as

well as to us. When the Lord Jesus is revealed

from heaven with his mighty angels and flaming fire and

inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and

do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. That's

those who practice lawlessness. They will suffer the punishment of

eternal destruction awaits from the presence of the Lord and

from the glory of His mighty When it comes on

the day to be glorified, and his things is to

be marveled out among all who believes. Because our testimony

to you is believed to this, and we always pray

for you that God may make you worthy of his

calling and may fulfill every result of good in every

work of faith by his power. So the name of

the Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you

and him according to the grace our God and the

Lord Jesus Christ. So this is talking about the judgment

day when God comes with fire, but when he comes

the second time, he will come with clouds. Then what's

his purpose when he comes the second time? We know

it's to gather his elect But when he comes for judgment,

it's eternal destruction. It's the fire of hell. That's his

last coming judgment day. Then what's his purpose of coming

a second time? Luke twenty one, verse twenty seven. And

they will see this of man coming in a cloud

with power and great glory. Now, when you see these

things begin to take place, straining up and raise your heads,

because your redemption is drawing near. That our salvation is

drawing near. When the son of Man comes in the

clouds the coming of the Son of Man. This is

second Coming Christ, and he's bringing redemption, salvation. Then salvation

is a totally different story than the judge last judgment day,

which will certainly also come. But second Coming Christ, his

purpose is for salvation. The last coming is the judgment

day of hell. Then what does the clouds represent when

he comes in the clouds Jude one, verse twelve. These

men are clouds at your love feasts, as they feaced

with you without fear, shepherds feeding only themselves, waterless clouds

swept along by the wind, fooless trees in lay autumn

twice dead. Then we can see trees and clouds equal men.

But these men are the Bibles talking about, are false

men because they have no fruit in the clouds are waterless.

Then clouds must have water. Then to be true men,

they need to have to be a water. A cloud

full of a cloud is full of water, a true

cloud that men equals clouds. Biblically, clouds are people Proverbs

twenty five, verse fourteen. Like clouds and wind without rain.

Is a man who boasts of a gift he does

not give, Then a false man is gonna boast of

a gift he does not give. But what about a

true man. A true man is a cloud with rain.

Then people again, are are likened to the clouds. Different

types of people are clouds. Then let's see a prophecy

about this Hebrews twelve, verse one. Therefore, since we are

surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us

lay aside every way and sing which clings so closely.

Let us roun with endurance the race that is set

before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfector of

our faith, who for the joy that was set before him,

endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at

the right hand and the throne of God. So, since

we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, the

people that witnessed Jesus was the disciples, then they are

people that witness, not clouds. A cloud can't witness bear

witness to Jesus. So the cloud equals people in the flesh.

Let's see the prophecy Daniel seven, verse thirteen. Then I

saw it in the night visions, and behold, with the

clouds of heaven, there came one like the son of Man,

and he came to the ancient of the eights, and

was presented before him, and to him was given dominion

and glory in a kingdom. Then that all people's nations

and languages should serve him. His dominion was an everlastic dominion,

which shall not pass away in his kingdom, one that's

shall not be destroyed. Then we see somebody coming with

the cloud of heavens, like the Son of Man, and

who fulfilled this prophecy that was given glory, power, dominion,

which is power, glory, and a king, and was a king,

had a kingdom, a dominion, authority, glory, and kingdom Matthew

twenty eight, verse eighteen. And Jesus came and said to them,

all authority in heaven and on earth has been given

to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of

the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to

observe all that I have commanded to you, and behold

on with you always to the end of the age.

Jesus received all authority, It clearly says, then what about

glory John seventeen ten. All mine is are yours, and

yours are mine, And I am glorified in them. Jesus

was glorified by his disciples. Then Jesus receives authority, glory,

and was he a king. He had to receive all

three to come with the clouds of heaven. John sixteen.

I still have many things to say to you, but

you cannot bear them. Now, when the spirit of truth comes,

he will guide you into all the truth. For he

will not speak on his own authority. Whatever he hears,

he will speak, and he will declare to you the

things that are to come. He will glorify me for

what he takes the mind. He's a clare to you.

So again, Jesus received glory. Luke twenty two, Verse twenty eight.

You are those who have stayed with me in trials.

And I assigned to you as my father assigned to

me a kingdom that you may eat and drink at

my table. And my kingdom is sit on the thrones

judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Yes, Jesus received a kingdom.

Then did he come with the literal clouds of heaven. No,

he came in the flesh. Then clouds clearly represent God

coming in the flesh. So what about the people who

are saying he's even come yet, and are still in

telling people that He's gonna come in the clouds like

many Christian churches called Christian churches and eleven verse four Ecclesiastes.

And he who observes the wind will not sow, and

he who regards the clouds will not reap. If you

are waiting for Jesus to come in the clouds, literally

still you're waiting for the last judgment of fire to

come on your heads in these last days. Thank you,
