For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humble state into conformity with the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.
Philippians 3:20 (KJV)
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.
I Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJV)
in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
2 Timothy 4:8 (KJV)
looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.
Titus 2:13 (KJV)
2 Peter 3
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
We are indeed living in the end times.
Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes,
famine, pesilences, disease is all
happening. Evil is being called good,
good is being called evil across the
globe. Nations are looking like
Sodom and Gamorrah. True Biblical
justice and morality is no more. The
world is in the church. False teachers
are rising up everywhere! The New World
order is demonically on the rise! The signs
are indeed prohetically prevalent. Bible
prophecies are undeniably coming true. How
tragic that even with all these prophetic
happenings that we find so many nay sayers
in the church who doubt that our blessed hope,
Jesus Christ, our King is coming soon! Where
is the excitement, joy, passion, and delight
that Jesus Christ, our Creator is coming soon!
For this is the passionate Christian’s hope!
No matter how many nay sayers there
seems to be. It does not change the
absoulte certainty that Jesus Christ,
our Savior, Lord, and King is coming soon
to rescue His people from the wrath to come.
Keep loving and looking for the blessed hope
and appearing of the lamb for because of
that love you will recieve the royal crown of
righteousness to those who love His appearing.
Rejoice, our Savior is gloriously reigning
from His royal, splendid, majestic throne!
