What Does Matthew 24:31 Mean?
At his coming, the Son of man sends his angels with a great trumpet blast to gather his chosen from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The scattered people of God are brought home from everywhere.
The trumpet has long summoned God's people to assembly, and here it gathers them for the final reunion. No distance is too great; from every corner of creation the faithful are collected to their Lord. This is the great homecoming the disciple longs for -- not abandonment in the storm, but a sure gathering into the presence of Christ, who loses none who are his.
Matthew 24:31 in the Original Language
