REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Four -"Coming With the Clouds"

 Next, John jubilantly announces: "Look! He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves into grief because of him. Yes, Amen." (Revelation 1:7) No doubt  John was here reminded of Jesus' earlier prophecy concerning the conclusion of the system of things.  Jesus there stated: "Then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." (Matthew 24:3, 30) Thus, Jesus 'comes' by turning his attention to the execution of Jehovah's  judgments on the nations. This will result in momentous changes  on earth, and since "all the tribes of the earth" have ignored the reality of Jesus' kingship, they will indeed experience  "the anger of the wrath of God the Almighty." -REVELATION 19:11-21; Psalm 2:2, 3, 8, 9.
