Matthew 24:26 So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Zechariah 12:10“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.
“And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him.”
All means all......
Introduction by Jesus; after all this book is about Him!
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,”
He is the beginning and the end and everything in between!
“the Almighty”, translates the ancient Greek word pantokrater, which literally means “the one who has his hand on everything.” (Guzik)
Do you believe He has his hand on everything?
Blessings, David
