Matteo 24:29-31

29 Or subito dopo l’afflizione di que’ giorni, il sole si oscurerà, e la luna non darà il suo splendore, e le stelle cadranno dal cielo, e le potenze de’ cieli saranno scrollate.

30 E allora apparirà nel cielo il segno del Figliuol dell’uomo; ed allora tutte le tribù della terra faranno cordoglio, e vedranno il Figliuol dell’uomo venir sulle nuvole del cielo con gran potenza e gloria.

31 E manderà i suoi angeli con gran suono di tromba a radunare i suoi eletti dai quattro venti, dall’un capo all’altro de’ cieli.

6896. 'And [seen] what has been done to you in Egypt' means the endeavour to bring them into subjection. This is clear from what has gone before regarding the affliction and oppression of the children of Israel, that is, of those who belong to the spiritual Church. These are the things meant by 'what has been done to you in Egypt'. For the fact that these afflictions and acts of oppression mean molestations and endeavours to bring into subjection, see 6663, 6666, 6668, 6670, 6671, 6851, 6852, 6863.
