Christ’s Glorious Second Advent

Is THIS the way Jesus will appear when he comes? "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him." Rev. 1:7. "And they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory." Matt. 24:30. "He shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels." Luke 9:26. How great will be that glory? "Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously." Isa. 24:23. Therefore according to Peter's words, these things are proof positive that when they saw the Lord Jesus transfigured—when they saw him standing on the mount with the glittering glory of God about him—they were then "eyewitnesses of his majesty" as he shall appear in his second advent to this world.
