The Lord Jesus is a living Savior, He not only died that He might save us from judgment, but He lives to keep us all along our way Home. Thus He brings us through to the very end of our path down here, till we see Him.
THE LORD JESUS
SHALL BE REVEALED
FROM HEAVEN
IN FLAMING FIRE
TAKING VENGEANCE
ON THEM
THAT KNOW NOT GOD,
AND THAT OBEY NOT
THE GOSPEL OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST."
2 Thess. 1:7, 8.
