All the angels WITH him. Chrysostom: And not in this way only does he make his dis­course awesome but also by showing the heav­ens opened. For all the angels will be present with him. They are there to bear witness to the many ways they had served when sent by the Lord for the salvation of humanity. Everything spoken of that day shows that it is fearful. Then “shall be gathered together,” he says, “all nations,” that is, all humankind. the gospel of Matthew, homily 79.I.
