Following his prophecies about Jerusalem's doom, Our Lord turns his attention more directly to the end of the world, making startling promises to his faithful.
I’ve always thought of this as an added built-in assurance to the words ‘…For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.’ —- namely, that just as lightning is swift, sure, sudden, dramatic and unmistakably lightning, so will His second coming be. Leaving us no need of debate, discussion, what-ifs, qualifications, or any other discernments. We’ll know.
Blessings and appreciation from Sydney Australia.
