29 “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. 30 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. 31 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. (Matthew 24)
How will we know? That is the background question at the beginning of the chapter? The disciples did not want to miss the boat. They had seen firsthand how people were missing the second coming of Christ, oblivious to the signs He had presented and fulfilled. When He comes again, there will be no hding from it. All people will see, hear, and even feel the shaking of His return. Yet, all will not be ready - only an "elect" group will. His angels will chose those who chose to trust Him as savior and serve Him as Lord. Don't be afraid about missing the coming; be sure you are ready.
