1. THE ATHANASIAN CREED
PREFACE
Those things which the Lord spoke as recorded in Matthew [24:29-31] concerning the last time of the Church should here be inserted, giving the words themselves and their explanation as in the work HEAVEN AND HELL 1.
Matthew 24:29-31
29
But immediately after the oppression of those days, the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give its light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken;
30
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.
31
He will send out his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
