Matthew 16:2

2 But he responded by saying to them: “When evening arrives, you say, ‘It will be calm, for the sky is red,’ ^{▼▼16:2This verse has an eschatological meaning, in that, prior to Christ’s return, the sky will appear red and the impious will claim that calm has arrived on earth. The evening is symbolic of a time of darkness on earth, when sinfulness reigns; yet they say about the evening that it will bring serenity. The morning is symbolic of a time of true light on earth, especially when Christ, the morning star, returns; yet they say about the morning that it brings trouble.(Conte)}
