Look, he is coming with the clouds,
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him;
and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him.
So shall it be! Amen.
-- Rev 1:7 NIV
Many await Christ's return with the clouds in power and glory with loving and eager anticipation, but many would prefer never to see him. Those who crucified him and pierced his side with a spear would prefer not to see him again. Those who betrayed him, slandered him, condemned him, abused him, and mocked him would prefer not to see him again. Those who have cursed him, scorned him, and ignored him throughout the years since his death would prefer not to see him. However, when Jesus returns, he will not be ignored or overlooked. All who do not love his appearing will mourn and wail because he comes to judge the world in righteousness.
