Focus on the 2nd Coming - Ellen G. White ® Estate

In this passage from The Great Controversy, Ellen White helps us imaginewhat it will be like when Jesus comes again.As you read, think about what you might hear, see, and feel on that great day!“Soon there appears in the east a small black cloud. It is the cloud which surrounds theSavior. God’s people recognize that this is Jesus coming! In hushed silence they watchas the cloud comes closer, becoming brighter and more spectacular, until it is a hugewhite cloud, with a fiery base, and above it the rainbow of promise. Jesus rides forthas a mighty conqueror. Thousands and thousands of angels fill the entire heavens withsinging and light more intense than any human has ever seen. Jesus’ face is brighterthan the sun. The wicked are terrified, but the righteous are happier than they haveever been. Jesus descends on the cloud, wrapped in flaming fire. The heavens roll up,Jesus rides forth as a mighty conqueror.the earth shakes, and every mountain andisland is moved out of its place. The wickedscream for the mountains and rocks tofall on them, to shield them from Jesus’overpowering brightness.In the midst of all this chaos, the voiceof Jesus calls the dead who have fallen“asleep” with their faith in Him. From theprison house of death, the dead rise tolife, clothed with glory, light and energy,and shouting for pure joy. There is notrace of disease or deformities on them.Angels gather God’s people from all overthe earth, and bring them to meet theirLord in the air. Friends and family arereunited, and all rise together towardheaven.”Adapted fromThe Great Controversy, p. 640-645Image - GoodSalt , Copyright © 2001Ellen White Visionary for Kids | 3
