then we, who shall be still alive, shall be convey'd together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall ever be with the Lord.

See! he is coming on the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even they who pierced him: then all the tribes of the earth will smite their breasts at the sight: even so it will be.

then shall they see the son of man coming in the clouds with power and great glory.

As to the day and hour, that no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but the father only.

as the days of Noe were, so shall also the advent of the son of man be.

in like manner, when ye shall see all these things happen, know that he is come to your very doors.

for as the lightning darts from the east in an instant to the west: such shall the advent of the son of man be.

of two persons, who shall be then in the field, one shall be taken, and the other left.

the master of that servant will come in a day when he least expects it, and at an hour he is not aware of;

in expectation of that desirable happiness, the glorious appearance of the supreme God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ,

expecting, and vehemently desiring the day of the Lord would come, when the heavens all on fire shall be dissolv'd, and the elements shall melt with intense heat.

and if ye will believe me, he is the Elias that was to come.

happy and holy are they that have part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God, and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

but every one in proper order: Christ has the precedence, next they who were Christians shall rise at his advent.

I declare unto you, the time is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God: and they that hear shall live.

for the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and by the voice of the archangel, with the trumpet of God, resound the summons: they who died christians shall rise first:

then shall that sign, the son of man in the clouds of heaven, appear: and all the tribes of the land shall mourn, and they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.

"where is the promise of his coming? for since our fathers are dead, the state of things is the same it has ever been since the beginning of the world."

Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkned, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.

I declare unto you, the present generation shall not cease, till all these things are pass'd.

and then shall they see the son of man come on a cloud, with power and great glory.

Christ is your life, and when he shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory.

as to the day and hour, that no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor even the son; but the father only.

I have nothing more to do, but to receive the crown of virtue reserv'd for me, which the Lord, the just judge, will give me in that day: and not only to me, but to those also, who have long'd for his appearance.

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we must believe that God by Jesus will raise the dead, and assemble them with him.

and he said to them, it is not for you, to know the times or the seasons, which the father hath reserv'd in his own disposal.

And when he was upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came to him in private, and said, tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of this age?

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who will be, the almighty.

so Christ being once offered up to take away the sins of many; he shall appear the second time, without making any further expiation to save those who expect him.

for you very well know, that the day of the Lord steals on like a thief in the night.

behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

and Jesus answered, I AM. and ye shall see the son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

"I shall come with surprize, happy he that is upon the watch, and keepeth his garments pure, that his vices may not put him to shame."

since then, my dear brethren, your expectations are such, take care to appear before him, without any defect or blemish, in order to be happy; and be persuaded,

I tell you, he will speedily avenge them. however, when the son of man comes, how few of the faithful will he find in the land?

only wait but a little while, and he that is to come, will come without delay.

and God will confirm you to the end, that ye may be unaccused in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

the same thing shall happen in the son of man's time as did in Noah's days.

Then I beheld another beast coming out of the earth, it had two horns like a lamb, but it spake like a dragon.

I declare unto you, some are here present, who shall not die, till they have seen the son of man enter into his kingdom.

watch therefore, for ye know not at what hour your Lord shall come.
