33. Five. John the Baptist said, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? (Matt. 3:7). In the parable of the tares of the field, the Lord said, So shall it be in the consummation of the age; the reapers are the angels (Matt. 13:25-30, 37-43). They gathered the good into vessels and cast out the evil; so shall it be in the consummation of the age (Matt. 13:47-50). The Son of man shall sit upon the throne of His glory (Matt. 19:28). David called the Messiah "Lord," Sit Thou on My right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool (Matt. 22:40-44; Ps. 110:1; Luke 20:41-44. Concerning the coming of the Lord and the consummation of the age (Matt. 24:1 to end). False Christs and false prophets shall arise; there shall be wars and rumors of wars, etc. (Matt. 24:5-14, 23-25, 28). This signifies heresies in the early times. When ye shall see the abomination of desolation foretold by Daniel the prophet (Matt. 24:15, 16 seq.). There shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the world (Matt. 24:21). Except those days should be shortened no flesh would be saved (Matt. 24:22). As the lightning cometh out of the east, so shall the coming of the Son of man be (Matt. 24:27). Thus was the Last Judgment. The sun shall be darkened, the moon shall not give (her light), and the stars shall fall from heaven (Matt. 24:29). Then they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, and He shall send the angels with the voice of a trumpet (Matt. 24:30, 31). Of that hour My Father alone knoweth (Matt. 24:36). As the days of Noah, so shall the coming of the Son of man be (Matt. 24:37, 38). So shall also the coming of the Son of man be (Matt. 24:39). Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord will come, thus that it is not known in what hour the thief will come; wherefore be ye ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man will come (Matt. 24:42-44). Blessed is the servant whom the Lord shall find so doing. But if the servant say in his heart, My Lord delayeth His coming (Matt. 24:46, 48). The Lord of the servant shall come in an hour that he knoweth not (Matt. 24:50). The parable of the ten virgins also describes the coming of the Lord, and the state of heaven; that it is shut to those who have no oil, that is, charity, for it is said also there, Watch, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man will come (Matt. 25:1-13). The parable of the talents given to the servants also signifies the coming of the Lord, and that everyone shall return a reckoning, for it is written (verse 19): After a long time the Lord cometh and reckoneth with them (Matt. 25:14-30). So also the parable of the sheep and the goats (Matt. 25: 31-46), for He says, When the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father (verse 31). Jesus said to the disciples, Behold I am with you all the days even unto the consummation of the age (Matt. 28:20).
