  2. Exposition

How will Jesus Christ return to earth?

Revelation 1:7 (ESV)

7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

He will come with the clouds. When he left our planet, he was carried aloft by a cloud (Acts 1:9). The angels told the disciples that he will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven (Acts 1:11). This is the promise repeated here. Clouds are God’s vehicle which he rides to his destination (see Psalm 104:3).
