This page attempts to highlight one of the
core future proclamations of Jesus regarding his future
return, using 3 verses from Matthew 24, with the following
events described: great hardship of believers followed by
cosmic signs and then his glorious appearing to all on the
Earth, in the UBS5
original Greek, a literal interlinear
translation of the Greek text, the English
translation by Bill Mounce, and
finally some matching images from the Codex
Sinaiticus -- a manuscript of the Christian Bible
written in the middle of the fourth century, which contains
the earliest complete copy of the Christian New Testament! |
Matthew 24:29-31 (UBS5/Interlinear/Mounce) |
Εὐθέως δὲ μετὰ τὴν
θλῖψιν τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων ὁ ἥλιος σκοτισθήσεται,
καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς, καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες πεσοῦνται ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ αἱ δυνάμεις τῶν οὐρανῶν σαλευθήσονται. Immediately then after the tribulation the days of those the sun will be darkened and the moon not will give the light of it and the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Immediately after the suffering of those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. καὶ τότε φανήσεται τὸ σημεῖον τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ τότε κόψονται πᾶσαι αἱ φυλαὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὄψονται τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐρχόμενον ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ μετὰ δυνάμεως καὶ δόξης πολλῆς · And then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven and then will mourn all the tribes of the earth and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and glory great. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. καὶ ἀποστελεῖ τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ μετὰ σάλπιγγος μεγάλης, καὶ ἐπισυνάξουσιν τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῶν τεσσάρων ἀνέμων ἀπ’ ἄκρων οὐρανῶν ἕως τῶν ἄκρων αὐτῶν. And He will send the angels of Him with a trumpet call great and they will gather together the elect of Him from the four winds from [the] ends of the heavens to the ends of them. And he will send his angles with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. |
