As these things, therefore, of which we have
spoken before are in the future, beloved, when the one week is divided
into parts, and the abomination of desolation has arisen then, and the
forerunners of the Lord have finished their proper course, and the
whole world, in fine, comes to the consummation, what remains but the
manifestation1974
of our
Lord and
Saviour
Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, from
heaven, for whom we have
hoped; who shall bring forth
fire and all just
judgment against those
who have refused to believe in Him? For the
Lord says, “For
as the
lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the
west, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be; for wheresoever
the
carcase is, there will the
eagles be gathered
together.”

shall arise
from the east even unto the west, in brightness exceeding that of the
sun, and shall
announce the
advent and manifestation of the
Judge, to
give to every one according to his works. For concerning the
general resurrection and the
kingdom of the
saints, Daniel says:
“And many of them that
sleep in the
dust of the
earth shall
awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to
shame and
everlasting
contempt.”

And
Isaiah says: “The dead shall rise, and those in the
tombs
shall
awake, and those in the
earth shall rejoice.”

And our
Lord says: “Many

in that day shall hear the voice of the
Son of God, and they that hear shall live.”
