For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Revelation 7:17
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4
Q19 What does the Apostle Paul call the Second coming of Jesus?
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus 2:11-13.
Q20 From the signs of the times that God has given us how soon can we expect this to happen?
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Matthew 24:33
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21:28
NOTE: It is the Second Coming of Jesus that will mark the end of the world, the end of evil and the end of the agents of evil. Victory will belong to God. Evil will not go on for ever, although at times it seems to be so strong. There is hope! And you can be part of it. In heaven Jesus has prepared a home for you. But you have to get ready for ‘moving day’ to meet Him in the clouds, or you will be lost. Is your heart right with God?
Q21 What changes occur to the faithful when Jesus comes?
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on in corruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:51-53
NOTE: This is the time when we receive our long awaited eternal life. Now it is a promise, but if we endure to the end it will be an amazing reality.
Q22 Where do meet Jesus?
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
NOTE: This shows us that Jesus is not coming back to reign on the earth. His feet do not touch the earth at this time. The deceivers and false Messiahs will walk on the earth and they will come prior to the real Second Advent. Do not be deceived.
Q23 Where will Jesus take those are ready and waiting for Him?
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:1-3 |
