The Darkness before He comes...

Matthew 24:29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, 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. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. As I write this, it is very early morning, before the sun is up. It is extremely dark. So it will be before Christ returns. The spiritual battle will be intense. Much of Mankind will be resistant, not wanting His full reign to come. But come He will, with great power and glory, to judge and to rule. He will, and for that we wait with great anticipation.
