7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.

A. Comes with clouds - An angel said that Jesus would return in the same manner as he went from the earth.

B. Every eye shall see him - This passage teaches a general resurrection of all men who have ever lived. All will be made alive and alert as Jesus comes.

C. They that pierced him - The Roman soldier who thrust the spear in his side will see his triumphant return. The soldiers who drove the nails in his hands and feet will witness the second coming of Christ.

D. Wail because of him - The wicked, unbelievers, atheists, and agnostics will see him and moan, groan, and wail because the proof is now before them, but too late.

E. Even so, Amen - A short prayer that simply said, “I am ready for it to happen. The sooner the better. Let Jesus come now.” The revelation ends with a similar prayer, “Even so, come Lord Jesus.”
