St. Matthew, Chapter 24, verse: 31a; HIs Angels.

Our paragraph topic is: (Darkening of sun and moon) Part 1. 

 The saga continues in the Biblical description of the end of days, where Christ describes to his disciples what will happen after the tribulation.  The Sun will be darkened and the moon will not give her light; the stars will fall from heaven and the powers of heaven will be shaken, he tells them.  Then will appear the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven.  

We have seen the power of earthquakes.  We know and are familiar with their destructive force.  Our media shows us daily what happens when they occur in various parts of the world where people are runnung for their lives and no one can do anything to stop the destruction from happening.  We know about the devistating force of water and what it does when it reaches catastrophic levels in sunamis and runnoff with mudslides.  We are helpless against fire when it becomes out of control and our efforts to stop it's raging inforno is unleashed upon the land.  The elements of nature are beyond mankinds control.

As humans we seek to leave behind or avoid the power of nature.  This is a goal of manknid.  Leap to space.  Go to the moon or Mars or another planet similar to the earth where we can grow and thrive without the threat of destruction.  The race for space is our objective our unexpressed desire for safety for longevity of life and liberty.  Is it possible?  Can we achieve it before the appocalype?  Why worry!!

Christ has given us the ultimate outcome for those who live to experience it.  He has given us a set of measures to let us know when and where it will all take place.  And after all the tribulations he says:  "And he will send forth his angels with a trumpet and a great sound."  

We will all know!  We will all see!  We will all be able to feel the awe and majesty of his coming with the great sound of the trumpet.  Those of us in heaven, those of us on earth, those of us asleep, those of us who believe or do not believe, all will be shaken by the coming of the Son of Man.  All will know the truth of his words.

Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself.  Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ .   The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
