Peace in Christ.

The sign of the Son of man “appears”…that is, it SHINES (Greek: phainō - Prolongation for the base of G5457; to lighten (shine), that is, show (transitive or intransitive, literal or figurative - appear, seem, be seen, shine, X think.)

It shines in the heaven. We are the “heaven” as we are citizens of heaven now in this earth. Philippians 3:20 . We as citizens of heaven are to focus on things above (in heaven) and not on earth. Colossians 3:2 .

Mat 24:30
(30) And then shall appear (SHINE) 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.

The sign of the Son of man shines in His people (the “heaven”). It shines within our very hearts when we hear the voice of the Son of God as He interprets the Scripture of Truth to our hearing ears.

This shining sign of the Son of man arises within our hearts and is our personal witness from God who testifies that this is His only begotten, beloved Son whom we are to hear speaking to us. It is our "holy mount"...the arising of light.

2 Peter 1:17-20
(17) For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

(18) And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

The light shines in a dark place when we hear His voice that interprets Scripture of Truth to our hearing ears. The day dawns…the bright and morning star…breaks out and arises in our hearts.

It rises like a looming mountain. It is our “holy mount”….the holy arising of light… that testifies that this is His Son speaking to us. We are to take heed on how we hear.

(19) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

(20) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

This arising light within the hearts of those who hear the voice of His Son is the sign of the Son of man.

It is the witness of God that we have WITHIN our hearts of His Son whom we are to HEAR.

His voice is heard through the “witness of men” whom He sends out to speak His words of life and spirit.

We receive the witness of them…but the witness of God within our hearts is greater. It is the sign of the Son of man that shines in our hearts.

1Jn 5:9-11 KJV
(9) If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

(10) He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

If we believe His witness that this is His Son speaking/interpreting to us, then we receive an age-lasting life in the Son.

(11) And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

This sign of the Son of man that arises in His peoples’ hearts (the “heaven”) makes us (who believe in His witness) of one mind and one body in Christ.

We then stand together with the Lamb on “mount” Zion….the RISING SIGN within our hearts which binds us together with Him.

“Mount” is the Greek word “oros” - Probably a from an obsolete word ὄρω orō (to rise or “rear”; perhaps akin to G142; compare G3733); a mountain (as lifting itself above the plain) - hill, mount (-ain).

“Zion” means “a sign ,indication, mark” or “a landmark”….. and has the idea of being “raised up” as a “monument.” The root צ-י-ן forms a verb in modern Hebrew today that means “to point out.”

Rev 14:1 KJV
(1) And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

When we receive the promise of “eternal life”…that is, an age-lasting life, the life of Jesus manifests (SHINES) in our MORTAL FLESH.

That manifestation is the revealing of the “Son of man” in this earth…and it comes with power and great glory. We are part of the Son of man. We are His flesh and bones in this world. He gives His flesh for the life of the world who will then see His light shining in us..

2Co 4:10-11 KJV
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

Your light is come…..we are then glorified with His light that will then shine towards the people of this world who are in deep spiritual darkness.

Isa 60:1-3 KJV
(1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.

(2) For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

They ..the outside people of this world…will then be attracted to our light (His light). They will come to the light as there is no way we can be hidden from them.

(3) And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

They will fly as a “CLOUD” to us as they gather themselves together to come to our light.

Isa 60:4-8 KJV
(4) Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.
(5) Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
(6) The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.
(7) All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

(8) Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

Hence, the Son of man comes in the CLOUDS of heaven…as the outside people of this world will come to the light like clouds…coming to the manifestation of the Son of man’s life through our mortal bodies.

Mat 24:30 KJV
(30) 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.

The “tribes of the earth” are the unbelievers who will then see this effect on the people of this world and will mourn it. They will then see the world going after Him and all of their joy will go away.

“Pharisees” = “separatist”. The modern-day Pharisees are the unbelieving people of the church denominations (separatists) who will see the "sign of Jonah" as the outside world will go after His people…the Son of man.

Joh 12:19 KJV
(19) The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.

They will see the Son of man coming on the “clouds” of the people of this world who will then be drawn to Him. They are the "clouds" gathered together and surrounding us (the "heaven"). Seeing the “cloud” of people flying to us who have His presence manifest in our mortal bodies darkens the hearts of the unbelievers of this.

They will mourn it…as their “sun is darkened and the moon shall not give her light”. Their joy…their light…their bright cheerfulness… will turn to gloom and darkness when they see the people of this world come together to Him as clouds. The cloud "covers" their sun and moon so to speak. They will not believe but will see the effects of our Christ light shining to the people of the outside world who will "fly as a cloud" to us. This will shaken those who are in power now in this earth.

Mat 24:29 KJV
(29) 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:

Every eye shall see Him…as we manifest His life in our mortal flesh. Our light is come….and the outside people of this world come to the rising of our Light (in Christ). The unbelievers ...the "kindreds of the earth"...will then mourn what they see happening.

Rev 1:7 KJV
(7) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
