than to look back and despair
The Lord's Coming Again is Mentioned in Other Scrolls of the Bible
Here are just a few select verses-
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will
reward each according to his works (Matthew 16:27)...For as the lightning comes from the east
and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be (Matthew 24:27)...
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth
will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and
great glory
(Matthew 24:30)...Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is
coming
(Matthew 24:42)...Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour
you do not expect (Matthew 24:44)...Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour
in which the Son of Man is coming
(Matthew 25:13).
(Hebrews 10:34-37).
This revelation is found in Revelation Scroll Number One-
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced
Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen
(Revelation 1:7).
I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the
clouds of Heaven. He came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him.
Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and
languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, that shall not pass away,
and His kingdom the one that shall not be destroyed
(Daniel 7:13-14).
(Matthew 24:30).
Jesus said to him- it is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you- hereafter you will see the
Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of Heaven
(Matthew 26:64).
(Acts 1:9-11).
But we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep,
so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died
and rose again, even so those who have fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the
coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself
will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God`s trumpet.
The dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up
together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord
forever. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).
Are there any other scrolls in the bible that appear to reveal this? Yes-
Our God comes with the noise of thunder. Fire devours everything in His way,
and a great storm rages around Him
(Psalm 50:3).
These revelations are found in Revelation Scroll Number Nine-
And from the throne proceeded...thunderings
(Revelation 4:5).
Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to
the earth. And there were...thunderings...
(Revelation 8:5).
Then the temple of God was opened in Heaven, and the ark of His covenant was
seen in His temple. And there were...thunderings...
(Revelation 11:19).
And I heard a voice from Heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the
voice of loud thunder
(Revelation 14:2).
And there were...thunderings
(Revelation 16:18).
And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many
waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying- Alleluia! For the Lord God
Omnipotent reigns!
(Revelation 19:6).
This truth is revealed in Revelation Scroll Number One-
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him.
And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen
(Revelation 1:7).
I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look to Me whom they have pierced-
and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in
bitterness for Him, as one who is in bitterness for his firstborn
(Zechariah 12:10).
But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and
water came out
(John 19:34).
(John 20:27-28).
And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace
and supplication- then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as
one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. In that day
there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of
Megiddo. And the land shall mourn, every family by itself- the family of the house of David by
itself, and their wives by themselves- the family of the house of Nathan by itself, and their
wives by themselves- the family of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves- the
family of Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves- all the families that remain, every
family by itself, and their wives by themselves
(Zechariah 12:10-14).
I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord, Who is and
Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty.

This attribute of Christ is a major bible doctrine. Let us study a little Christology here. What
is that? That is the study of Jesus Christ. Why? Because if we know Who Jesus is, it will
help us understand Him better. One of the fundamental truths of Christology
is that Christ is eternal- He does not have a beginning or an ending. How does that apply to
Christ being the Root of King David? Christ was not only David's Son but David's Lord
As David was the son of Jesse, so also is Christ "the Son of David" and that is one
of His divine titles-
