Here is a photo of the "sign of the son of man":

It is proof to the secret followers of Christ that he did return on time
as
claimed. When the Christ returns after the "great tribulation" then the
sign would appear in the heavens:
29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be
darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall
from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 And then the sign
of the Son of man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the
earth will beat themselves in lamentation, and they will see the Son of
man
coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
Note the sign comes "immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days..."
The great tribulation whose days were cut short or else no flesh would be
saved of the "holy ones" was the Holocaust. In this case, the "holy ones"
that were exterminated is a reference to the Jews themselves who were
almost
completely exterminated during WWII. As it is, two-thirds were
exterminated; six million out of an estimated nine million.
After this great tribulation Jewish exile would end and they would be
restored to their homeland. This too would occur before the second
coming
though:
Matthew 24:32
32 "Now learn from the fig tree as an illustration this point: Just as
soon
as its young branch grows tender and it puts forth leaves, YOU know that
summer is near. 33 Likewise also YOU, when YOU see all these things, know
that he is near at the doors. 34 Truly I say to YOU that this generation
will by no means pass away until all these things occur."
The Fig Tree is a symbolism of the State of Israel. Thus when the State
of
Israel is reborn anew then you'd know the messiah was near at the doors.
Now it is important to note how detailed this fulfillment is. The "sign
of
the son of man" would appear which would cause those few chosen ones who
see
it to beat themselves in lamentation. That is not the same response to
when they see the son of man "on the clouds of heaven" in great glory.
This is a conflict of images. Thus there are two images or signs seen in
heaven. The first one which causes mourning and the second great
rejoicing.
Basically, the first sign appears during the life of the messiah, from the
time of his birth until his anointing as the messiah. That sign is as
photographed above, depicting the face of a dead messiah. The new
messiah
after he is born and baptized ends up becoming the prodigal son, just like
the Jews left God, becoming a prodigal son until after the Holocaust, when
God then welcomed them back and reinstalled them to their homeland as
prophesied. Thus there is mourning and weeping over seeing the dead
messiah depicted in the clouds. But after the messiah returns from his
life as the prodigal son and he becomes the messiah at age 42, another
sign
is seen in heaven. This sign is of an infant lying on a cloud pillow next
to an eagle, with a voice in heaven announcing: "This is my son whom I
have
approved" which was heard by those witnessing this. Thus this was quite
glorious, indeed!
In 1998, the first "sign of the son of man" reappeared to a skyscape
photographer as proof the sign did appear during the earlier life of the
messiah when he became dead for a while as the prodigal son. As you can
understand, seeing the dead child messiah would cause them to beat
themselves in lamentation. So everything is consistent with scripture,
right down to the very last detail.
CHRONOLOGY: Where most of Christendom goes wrong is that they pay little
attention to the chronology of the second coming. Jehovah's witnesses do
focus on chronology but, unfortunately, were misguided by the revised
chronology from the Greek and Persian Period. Thus they pay attention to
chronology but have the wrong dating. For instance, they date the fall
of
Jerusalem in 607 BCE. That's a date that is 57 years off. We know that
from the VAT4956 astronomical text which includes both the revised and the
original dating: 568 and 511 BCE, respectively. When 511 BCE is used to
correct the NB timeline, then the fall of Jerusalem occurs in 529 BCE.
That means the second coming, which occurs when the messiah is age 42, has
to occur in 1992. But we know that already as well because of the 1335
days prophecy, which dates the second coming 45 years after the end of the
gentile times, which ends in 1947. 1947 ends the period of 1290 days per
Daniel 12, which comes on the heels of the "great tribulation", the
Holocaust.
The "generation" in which all these things would occur is a period of 80
years (Ps. 90:10)
Ps 90:
10 In themselves the days of our years are seventy years;
And if because of special mightiness they are eighty years,
BUT, all the signs occur except for one, the final vision of the messiah
in
his glory coming on the clouds, in just one generation of 40 years. That
is, the sense of the second coming messiah appears first at his birth
though
he is not yet the messiah, just the chosen one into which the messiah from
heaven will come down to reside to become flesh again. So for a while,
there are two messiahs. The chosen pre-messiah who is born in 1950 until
the Christ in heaven comes down and takes up his body and identity in
1992.
This event is associated with Satan being kicked out of heaven and a woman
with the wigns of an eagle seen giving birth to the messiah, which the
devil-dragon tries to devour. This child born from this woman is
transported up to God, meaning to the bosom position of the father, which
is
the position of the Christ (John 1:18). At this point, the two messiahs
become one; Christ in heaven thus is in the flesh a second time, thus the
"SECOND coming."
Now all this is a bit complex, but no matter, it actually happened right
on
time and God has provided his anointed with a photo of the sign of man as
proof of what the sign is and why the anointed mourn when they see the
sign.
Now many, of course, not interested in chronology or anything else in the
Bible that they don't wish to deal with, will reject this sign like they
reject Bible chronology. But that's their loss. Others who can accept
the
Bible and who are granted understanding, have the sign as a confirmation
of
the second coming and as a promise that God will end the world was
prophesied as well!
