That week's gospel was about the end of the world. As I was listening, I started getting a picture in my head. I'll explain so you can get the same picture too.
"...For even as lightning comes forth from the east and shines
to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Wherever
the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together. But immediately
after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened and the moon
will not give her light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers
of heaven will be shaken. And then will appear the sign of the Son of Man
in heaven; and then will all tribes of the earth mourn, and they will
see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with
great power and majesty. And he will send forth his angels with
a trumpet and a great sound, and they will gather his elect from the
four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other...."

Summing this all up, the picture I got in my head was....
The Return of the King.
Wow.
