You will in the future see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of the sky." [Ps 110.1; Dan 7.13] (Mk 14.62)
Lu21.27. 27And they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great (trenscendent and overwhelming) power and [all His kingly] glory (majesty and splendor). [Dan 7.13,14]
Ac 1.11. 11who said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into heaven? This same Jesus, Who was caught away and lifted uup from among you into heaven, will return in [just] the same way in which youu saw Him go into heaven.
He 9.28. 28Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are [eagerly, constantly, and patiently] waiting for and expecting Him.
