Revelation 1:7

1834–1892
Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen." — Revelation 1:7 (ASV)

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.

They have crucified him; all kindreds of the earth have, alas!

had a share in Christ's death, and dying unforgiven, or being found alive at his coming without repentance, they shall wail because of him.

Even so, Amen.

Though the wicked will wail at Christ's appearing, the saints must give consent to the judgments of God as well as to His mercies: Even so, Amen.

Behold he cometh with clouds;

John sees him. He adored him. Strong Son of God, Immortal love,
Whom though we have not seen your face,
Unceasing we adore.

In that adoration we behold you. Behold he cometh with clouds.

And every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so.

Amen.

What is more, adoration helps us to hear as well as to see. It supplies us with new senses. John hears this voice.
