Matthew 24:27 Douay-Rheims

For as lightning cometh out of the east, and appeareth even into the west: so shall the coming of the Son of man be.

Hilary of Poitiers

c. A.D. 310–367 Patristic

The false prophets, of whom He had spoken above, shall say of Christ one while, Lo, He is in the desert, in order that they may cause men to wander astray; another while, Lo, He is in the secret chambers, that they may enthral men under the dominion of Antichrist. But the Lord declares Himself to be neither lurking in a remote corner, nor shut up to be visited singly, but that He shall be exhibited to the view of all, and in every place, As the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.
