“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 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.” Nevertheless, our Lord’s word to His own is, “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” “Yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry.” He said that “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.” So “we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body.” His word is, “Behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be,” and “behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” “Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” “Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
He shall come with trumpet sound,
To gather home His own,
Washed by His own precious blood,
To stand before the throne.
