But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.
See Revelation 19 too; cf. Rev. 12; Mark 14:62.
Excerpts of our main text, part Revelation, chapter The "seven bowls of God's wrath", the end of "Babylon" and the Second Coming of Christ. See the chapter "How to deal with prophecies" of our main text, part Revelation too.
In this connection, a vision of Mary at Garabandal (Spain) contains the prophecy of a "Great Warning" which shows all people inwardly what they must overcome within themselves - see also John 16:8; Rev. 14:6-20 - if they want to manage the transition to God's light - see also John 16:13. This is connected with a sign in the sky. Within one year after this event a "Great (healing) miracle" is announced - leaving a "sign" at Garabandal. As far as mankind would not turn over a new leaf, later the Judgement day with fire from heaven (the "bowls of God`s wrath") is said to come - revelation 16; see additionally Matthew 24:28. (You may search for the English literature in the bookshops, or in the web with the keyword "Garabandal"). A possible preparation might be - besides changing one's life - to pray for the Holy Spirit just now.
Mainly this is the last time for the decision in everyone's soul, if one wants to participate in the later "Kingdom of peace", which God prepared for the earth. This stage ends with the "Second Coming of Christ". See also Revelation 19, cf. Revelation 12. He does not simply come as a human being born on earth, but as the center of something more comprehensive – the approach of God's heaven (and the beyond) and earth ; of spirit, (mind and) body. Nevertheless it means Christ coming back as a real being - not only as his power to spiritualize mankind, as some modern groups may think. This development concerns - directly and indirectly - all human beings, not only Christians. The Quran describes the Second Coming of Jesus as witness for his people during the "Doomsday". One can conclude from the prophecy of several other religions, that their prophets will also play a role in the same period, helping their adherents understand what is going on.
Question:
Do I want Jesus Christ to appear again clearly, as prophesied, transforming
human life and the world?
