Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
Israel will have undergone a national revival (accepting Jesus as their Messiah, and would have mourned their sin) when Jesus comes again.John recalls what Zechariah had prophesied about Israel's revival when Jesus comes to earth again. Zechariah 12:10 prophesies, "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn." In Acts chapter 1 we learn that an angel promised that Jesus would come again in the same manner as He retured to heaven; ascending in a cloud from the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:11–12), and at His second coming He will return in the clouds to the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4; Matthew 24:29–30).
