"There
before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven…
His Kingdom is one that will never be destroyed’ (Daniel 7:13-14).
These
words point us to Christ’s description of His Second Coming, the Coming
of His Kingdom: ‘They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of
the sky, with power and great glory’ (Matthew 24:30). In Revelation 1:7,
we have another echo of Daniel’s ‘vision’: ‘Look, He is coming with the
clouds, and every eye will see Him’. ‘Lo! He comes, with clouds
descending… Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee, high on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and glory, claim the Kingdom for Thine own. O
come quickly! O come quickly! O come quickly! Alleluia! Come, Lord,
come!’(Church Hymnary, 316).
