Psalms 97:2

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

I will pour on David’s house, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they will look to me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and will grieve bitterly for him, as one grieves for his firstborn.

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first,

“I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of the sky one like a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

and then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. Then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

who does great things that can’t be fathomed, marvelous things without number;

How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

This knowledge is beyond me. It’s lofty. I can’t attain it.

I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and crush all the sons of Sheth.

Yes, when I cry, and call for help, he shuts out my prayer.

Jesus said, “I am. You will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of the sky.”

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”

For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north: a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness around it, and out of the middle of it as it were glowing metal, out of the middle of the fire.

Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

Jesus said to him, “You have said it. Nevertheless, I tell you, after this you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of the sky.”

Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead: Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.

And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.

I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

“This is so that they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”

Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

Out of heaven he made you to hear his voice, that he might instruct you. On earth he made you to see his great fire; and you heard his words out of the middle of the fire.

Therefore I have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me. May Yahweh the Judge be judge today between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.”

Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

and refused to obey. They weren’t mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.

Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

“Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.

“Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

“Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

Yahweh is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

Take away the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.

The king who fairly judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.

That which is, is far off and exceedingly deep. Who can find it out?

then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.

The burden of Egypt. “Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt within it.

Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters,

Then I saw, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire; and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.

You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.

Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn’t serve him.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

Then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory.

However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,

About these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,

And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer.

He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus.

Yahweh said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.

“So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.

He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.

We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.

Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.

You have covered yourself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.

It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen,” said Yahweh of Armies;

in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

He made darkness a shelter around himself: gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

The King’s strength also loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.

It is an abomination for kings to do wrong, for the throne is established by righteousness.

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

I looked, and saw a white cloud, and on the cloud one sitting like a son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

May it be far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?”

The people stayed at a distance, and Moses came near to the thick darkness where God was.

The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.

Benjamin went out against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men. All these drew the sword.

Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’

For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him.

How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

When I tried to understand this, it was too painful for me,

Your way was through the sea; your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

Yahweh is righteous in all his ways, and gracious in all his works.

You have said to me, Lord Yahweh, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”

I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.

A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.

Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”

I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
