Do you believe that the sun rose yesterday? Do you believe that the sun has risen today? Do you believe that the sun will rise tomorrow? Do you believe that the sun will rise forever? The answer to all these questions is unequivocally YES.
Many people may doubt whether the sun will rise tomorrow and forever but by the word of GOD the sun will rise FOREVER (Genesis 1:14-18)!
“PRAISE ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights. Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Praise ye him, [SUN] and [MOON]: praise him, all ye [STARS] of light.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for [HE COMMANDED, AND THEY WERE CREATED].
[HE HATH ALSO STABLISHED THEM FOR EVER AND EVER]: he hath made a decree which shall not pass” (Psalm 148:1-6).

Our Lord Jesus warned us to be always ready when he gave the example in the parable of the ten virgins who took their lamps to meet the bridegroom: five of them were wise, and five were foolish (Mathew 25:1-13).
“The great [DAY OF THE] LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a [DAY OF WRATH], a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness” (Zephaniah 1:14–15).

[FOR GOD HATH NOT APPOINTED US TO WRATH, BUT TO OBTAIN SALVATION BY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST]” (1 Thessalonians 5:6-9).
Our Lord Jesus also warned us to watch and pray always to escape all the things that will come to pass on that day. Let us keep in our hearts spoken by our Lord, saying: “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish” (Matthew 25:1-2).
“While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, ‘Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.’ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, ‘Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us.’ But he answered and said, ‘Verily I say unto you, I know you not.’
Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh” (Matthew 25:5-13).
“[IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION] of those days shall the [SUN BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON SHALL NOT GIVE HER LIGHT], and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: [AND THEN SHALL APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN]: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Matthew 24:29-31).
