Appendix D
“Bright Shining” — Astrapee

In Matthew 24:27 the Greek word astrape can mean lightning or shining. In Luke 17:24 the Greek word lampo only means shining. Therefore, these parallel passages prove that the gradual rising of the sun symbolizes how Christ’s presence will be gradually revealed as we progress further into The Day of the Lord.

Matthew 24:27	=	Luke 17:24
“parousia”		“the Son of man...in his day”
“For as the lightning [astrapee] cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming [parousia] of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:27		“For as the lightning [astrapee], that lighteneth [astrapto] out of the one part under heaven, shineth [lampo] unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.” Luke 17:24
