And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the Lord: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Visible Return

The verse describes a covenant being made and marvels being performed by "the Lord" in the presence of "all thy people" and "all the people among which thou art," referring to events in the immediate future of the Exodus narrative, not a future return of Christ. There is no mention of Christ, a return, clouds, glory, or lightning.
