The return of Jesus Christ language in Matthew 24 and 25. -
... what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?
Matthew 24 -
27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.
44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.
50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 25 -
13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
31 "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.
