Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him.” Who is this, who is coming in the sky, and every eye in the whole world is sure to see Him? Only two men in our picture are looking at the soft white duds above the mountains. Some men are busy making the ship go, some are looking at other things, and some are asleep.
But there is a day coming when every eye in the world will see Him who comes with clouds. Who is coming? Let us read the rest of the verse in Rev. 1:77Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. (Revelation 1:7),— “every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him.”
The One who is coming in the clouds is the same One who was pierced with nails and with a sword at Calvary—who hung there on the cross while people wagged their heads and made faces at Him. Who is He? He is Jesus, the despised and hated Man of Calvary, for now “this same Jesus” is the risen and glorified Man at God’s right hand.
Yes, Jesus is coming again; first into the air to take ills own home to heaven, and then to earth, when all shall see Him, to judge the wicked. Will you be glad to see Him?
Our verse says that all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Why will they weep and wail? Because He comes to judge those who would not bow to His Word and accept His pardon. Then they will wail in hopeless misery because they are lost, lost forever.
Reader, what are you doing with God’s Word right now? This paper is written to tell you of God’s beloved Son, “that whosoever believeth in Him. should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16). Have you believed in this blessed crucified Saviour? Can you look up and say, “He is my Saviour?”
If not, my reader, then you are despising His pardon; and if you continue to do this, then you will wail, an endless hopeless wail, because of Him. You may close the Bible now or throw away this paper, but your eyes will surely see Him in that day when He comes with clouds.
Is He your Saviour? Will you come with Him in that glorious day, as a bride comes with her royal bridegroom? Oh, take this Saviour as your own, while still you have time.
