“And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:”
I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. — the cosmic and earthly signs (terata, wonders; sēmeia, signs; stoicheia, elements) recall the plagues against Egypt and indicate divine activity disrupting the normal order. Blood, fire, and smoke are apocalyptic imagery signaling God's judgment and the end-times breaking into history. The signs accompany and validate the proclamation of salvation.
