[§252] The Third Woe Begins When All Things Are in Commotion

This podcast describes and explains the “Grand Sign of the Son of Man” that will be given in heaven and seen on earth at the start of the Third Woe, as described by John in Revelation 15:1. The exact meaning of this "Grand Sign" has not been revealed, but it is the last sign that will be given in heaven before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The Grand Sign comes just before the Second Coming, it is not the Second Coming. When the Grand Sign is given, all things will be in commotion on a worldwide scale. This includes commotion that shakes the earth and all the elements as well as nations, governments, and people. The commotion will be physical, spiritual, and emotional. The commotion we see in the world today is merely a prelude to the much more significant commotion that will exist as the Second Woe comes to an end in Revelation 14 and the Third Woe begins in Revelation 15. The Grand Sign will have the appearance of the sun rising in the east that can be seen by all people in all the world. The sign will be easy to recognize, although hardhearted people and unbelievers will attribute it to natural causes and will say it is a planet or comet. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ will follow very soon after the Grand Sign is given at the start of the Third Woe.
