“Immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and 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 with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Matthew 24:29-31, NRSV)
The sun will be darkened and the moon will not give light and the stars will fall from Heaven….
Scary stuff…
Yet we have seen “stars” fall from Heaven in meteor showers, and the sun has eclipsed which is not giving light, which then I guess would not allow the moon to give light either because of the sun providing light for the moon…
It is hard to take this literally even thought it could be literal language because it has all happened…
But never have we seen after these events Jesus in the clouds with a trumpet blast.
But we do believe we will be called to meet Him when the kingdom of God comes in its fullness.
He will gather His people together and He will be with us! It is a promise regardless of when it comes, it is a promise we can count on.
