” Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be Amen ” Revelation 1:7.
Here, John announces the Return of Jesus Christ to earth. Jesus’Second Coming will be visible and victorious. Jesus Himself told His disciples,” At that time, men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory ” (Matthew24:30; Mark13:26; Luke21:27 ). When He comes, He will conquer evil and judge all the people according to their deeds. The nation of the earth will mourn because unbelievers will suddenly realize they have chosen the wrong side. Everything they have scoffed about will be happening and it will be too late for them to repent. ” Those who pierced Him ” could refer to the Roman soldiers who pierced Jesus’side as He hung on the Cross or to the Jews who were responsible for His death. John himself had seen the Crucifixion of Jesus with his own eyes and he could never forget the horror of it. After 40 days with His disciples, Jesus was taken up before their very eyes and the cloud hid him from their sight. Jesus would return in the same way as He went bodily and visibly. We should be ready for His sudden return,not by standing, ” looking into the sky “,but by working hard to share the Gospel so that others will be able to share in God’s great blessings. Now, we have reached a critical juncture and the Bible says Jesus’Second Coming is drawing near and people will see Him coming in clouds with power and great glory.
