Les explains that the sign of the Son of Man appears after the events of the closing days of the tribulation. He reads that the tribes of the earth will mourn and see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Les identifies this as the Second Coming, when Christ will stand once again on the Mount of Olives.
