Looking Down, Not Up! Matthew 24:29-31 NLT

One thing I have learned about God, anything is possible. We can't limit what God can do by our limited imaginations. One thing I've learned about studying scripture is 'if the first sense makes sense, don't look for any other sense'. 

Matthew 24:29, Isaiah 13:10 and Joel 2:10 all speak of a celestial event that will occur before Jesus's return. Do I believe it will happen? Yes and I believe it will happen just as scripture tells us. 

When Jesus returns, there will be no doubt He is the true Messiah and the Son of Man. I believe everyone on the earth will know it because everyone will see Him descending from the clouds. Those that believe in Jesus will rejoice and those that still oppose Him will try to hide. 

What a glorious sight it will be! One I want to see looking down from Heaven, not up from Earth! 

Matthew 24:29-31 NLT 

29 “Immediately after the anguish of those days, the sun will be darkened,  the moon will give no light,  the stars will fall from the sky,  and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 

(Isaiah 13: 10 The heavens will be black above them; the stars will give no light. The sun will be dark when it rises, and the moon will provide no light. 

Joel 2:10 The earth quakes as they advance, and the heavens tremble. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars no longer shine.) 

30 And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 

(Joel 10: 13 As my vision continued that night, I saw someone like a son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient One and was led into his presence.) 

31 And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world —from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven. 

Blessings, Cecilia
