Another Sign of Christ's Second Coming from Heaven is that great Tribulation, which our Saviour foretold his Disciples would be immediately before his Second Coming, and Appearance, Matth. 24.21, 29, 30.

See my Exposition of the 11th chapter of the Revelation, where I have proved, That before the Second WOE be past,
