What sign will Jesus give that he is returning? Matthew 24:29-30

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
   Wow!  What an awesome morning for some; an awful morning for others.  The blizzard in the East will created gridlock and cancelled flights.  Here we have sunshine forecast with warmer temperatures.  Nature (God) is quite interesting and amazing.  As is Jesus in Matthew 24 when the disciples are asking when the sign of the end times will appear.
   Through Matthew 24 Jesus has told them when it will not appear.  Verses 23-26 tell us not to be deceived and things will be said to make one believe Jesus has returned.
   Jesus gives us the "sign" in verse 29-30.  Matthew 24:
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:
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 sign of Jesus' coming is..........(drum roll) JESUS COMING!  No warning, no email or text giving us advance notice. Stars fall from heaven, our entire solar system will be shaken.  Then notice-- the sign of the Son of man in heaven and what.........?  ALL THE NATIONS SHALL MOURN!!!
   Why will they mourn?  Simply put, when the truth is presented you will know the truth---truth is....the nations have turned away from God and upon seeing Jesus they will think...then know...oh, hell is coming!  What a lost feeling that must be; devastating, knowing no hope. As a POW with no appeals, no hope, only death.  Oh, wow and ow!
 What is this telling you?  It is a simple and easy lesson.  We need to be as 5 of the 10 virgins and carry enough lamp oil to greet the bridegroom when he arrives.
   Unfortunately, there will be many like the 5 who did not take enough oil and were unprepared when the bridegroom arrived.  Where are you today?  Are you ready?  Is your storehouse full?  Is your heart with Jesus or the world?  Are you spreading the Word, the Good News to "lost" people?  Where your heart be burdened, there also shall ye go.  Thanks for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
