Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning comes out of the east, and shines even to the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. The Rev. Edward Irving was once preaching at Perth. The text was taken from Matthew 24., regarding the coming of the Son of Man. While he was engaged in unfolding his subject, from out of a dark cloud, which obscured the church, there came forth a bright blaze of lightning and a crash of thunder. There was deep stillness in the audience. The preacher paused; and from the stillness and the gloom, his powerful voice, clothed with increased solemnity, pronounced these words: "For as the lightning cometh out of the earth, and shineth even unto the west; so shall the coming of the Son of Man be." Parallel Verses KJV: For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. |
