. . . then one grand sign of the son of the son of man in heaven. but what will the world do? they will say it is a planet. a comet, & consequently the sun [Son] of man will come as the sign of coming of the son of man; is as the light of the morning cometh out of the east.1


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. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.4
