AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 24:27 "For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming [in glory] of the Son of Man [everyone will see Him clearly]. |
Bible Question: While talking to His disiples about His return he states that the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. He then says that the SIGN of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. I have heard tell that this sign is His shakina (sp?) glory. Is this the general concensus? Can anyone elaborate more on this? |
Bible Answer: THE SIGN IN THE SKY ____________________ "..you can't have the Shekinah apart from the One it emanates from." ____________________ 'In [Matthew 24] verse 30 Jesus answers the question the disciples asked Him previously, "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age" (v. 3)? He gave them a list of general signs in verses 4 to 14, but He still hadn't given them the sign. 'A. The Definition of the Sign '1. What it is not 'a) The sign of the cross 'Some early church fathers taught that the sign of which Christ spoke was a blazing cross that would fill the black heavens. This was the position of men such as Chrysostom, Cyril of Jerusalem, and Origen. 'b) The Shekinah alone 'Others have taught that the sign will be the Shekinah--the blazing light of God's glory. That's closer to the truth, but you can't have the Shekinah apart from the One it emanates from. '2. What it is' THE SIGN IS THE SON OF MAN HIMSELF 'Verse 30 defines what the sign will be: "Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven." That is a subjective genitive in the Greek text, indicating that the sign is the Son of Man Himself. In the midst of the blackness will appear in blazing, unveiled glory the Son of Man.' ____________________ To read more go to: www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/sg2371.htm |
