LOOKING UP or Looking Down? “[LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE, AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF THE GREAT GOD AND OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST]” (Titus 2:13).

Unfortunately, untold numbers of people are too busy Looking Down at content on smart devices passing the time in this world!

The Apostle Paul said: “[SET YOUR AFFECTION ON THINGS ABOVE], not on things on the earth. When Christ, who is our [LIFE], shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory” (Colossians 3:4).

“[FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS] is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are [SAVED] it is the [POWER OF GOD]. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to [SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE]” (1 Corinthians 1:19, 21).

“[FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], that [WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD] not perish, but [HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]” (John 3:16).

“[FOR GOD SENT] not [HIS SON INTO THE WORLD] to condemn the world; but [THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED]” (John 3:17).

“[HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36).

The disciple John also said: “LOVE NOT THE WORLD, NEITHER THE THINGS THAT ARE IN THE WORLD” (1 John 2:15). “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).

“And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that [DOETH THE WILL OF GOD ABIDETH FOREVER]” (1 John 2:17).

ESPECIALLY IN THIS PRESENT TIME, we are to be watchful in all things to keep at the forefront of our daily lives the LOVE OF THE WORD OF GOD and NOT the love of this world (Luke 4:4).

“[HEAR INSTRUCTION, AND BE WISE], and refuse it not” (Proverbs 8:33).

“[ALL SCRIPTURE] is given by [INSPIRATION OF GOD], and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in [RIGHTEOUSNESS]” (2 Timothy 3:16).

“Knowing this first, that [NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION]. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1:19–21).

“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read” (Isaiah 34:16).

Our Lord Jesus says: “[BLESSED ARE THEY THAT HEAR THE WORD] of God, and keep it” (Luke 11:28). “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: [THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK UNTO YOU, THEY ARE SPIRIT, AND THEY ARE LIFE]” (John 6:63).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that [HEARETH MY WORD], and [BELIEVETH] on him that sent me, hath [EVERLASTING LIFE], and shall not come into condemnation; but is [PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE]” (John 5:24).

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall [NEVER SEE DEATH]” (John 8:51).

“[HE THAT REJECTETH ME, AND RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS], hath one that judgeth him: [THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY]” (John 12:48).

“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but [MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY]” (Matthew 24:35).

“[BEHOLD, I COME AS A THIEF]. [BLESSED IS HE THAT WATCHETH], and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame” (Revelation 16:15).

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that [OVERCOMETH SHALL NOT BE HURT OF THE SECOND DEATH]” (Revelation 2:11).

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that [OVERCOMETH] will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the [PARADISE OF GOD]” (Revelation 2:7).

“[I AM HE THAT LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).

JESUS is COMING down from HEAVEN ONLY ONCE on the LAST DAY which will be the DAY OF JUDGMENT at the END OF THE WORLD. However, JESUS says: “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only” (Matthew 24:36).

“If any man have an ear, let him hear. [HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES]” (Revelation 13:9, 2:29).

We must endure SOUND DOCTRINE (Revelation 20:11-15) (Matthew 25:31-34; 41; 46)!

Anyone holding on to the belief that they will escape the DAY OF JUDGMENT by being so called “raptured” to heaven before the Great Tribulation is DECEIVED!

GOD has appointed ONE DAY when JESUS will JUDGE EVERY HUMAN BEING ON THIS EARTH (Matthew 24:1:4, 29-36) (Acts 17:30-31) (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) (Revelation 1:17-8., 11:18, 20:11-15).

“THEN COMETH THE END, when he shall have [DELIVERED UP THE KINGDOM TO GOD, EVEN THE FATHER]; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” (1 Corinthians 15:24).

The Apostle Paul was very c;ear when he expressed to Timothy, said: “CHARGE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, [WHO SHALL JUDGE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD AT HIS APPEARING AND HIS KINGDOM]” (2 Timothy 4:1).

“[FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR] before the judgment seat of Christ; that [EVERY ONE MAY RECEIVE THE THINGS DONE IN HIS BODY], according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

“And as [IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE], but [AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT]” (Hebrews 9:27).

“Work out your own [SALVATION] with [FEAR AND TREMBLING] that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the [DAY OF CHRIST]” (Philippians 2:12, 1:10).

“[AND THE TIMES OF THIS IGNORANCE] God winked at; but now [COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERY WHERE TO REPENT]: Because he hath [APPOINTED A DAY], in the which he will judge the world in [RIGHTEOUSNESS] by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” (Acts 17:30-31).

“[FOR THE FATHER JUDGETH NO MAN, BUT HATH COMMITTED ALL JUDGMENT UNTO THE SON]” (John 5:22).

JESUS COMES LAST and is coming down from Heaven AFTER THE GREAT PERIOD OF TRIBULATION at THE ENDING of the world (Matthew 24:1-4, 29-30) (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) (Revelation 1:7-8, 11:18)!

“[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).

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and [EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM], and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen” (Revelation 1:8).

“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and [THE LAST]. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city” (Revelation 22:12-14).

“He which testifieth these things saith, [SURELY I COME QUICKLY]. Amen. [EVEN SO, COME], Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).

JESUS IS COMING on the Last Day for the DAY OF JUDGMENT at the End of the World (Matthew 24:35-36; 25:31-34; 41; 46) (Revelation 20:11-15).

DO NOT BE DECEIVED! There will be NO RAPTURE!

“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but [AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT]” (Hebrews 9:27).

“I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me” (Isaiah 45:5). “I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me [EVERY KNEE] shall bow, [EVERY TONGUE] shall swear” (Isaiah 45:23).

“The LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. [AND HIS FEET SHALL STAND IN THAT DAY UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES], which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south” (Zechariah 14:8–9, 4).

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in [JERUSALEM] shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call” (Joel 2:31-32).

“And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, [SOME TO EVERLASTING LIFE], and [SOME TO SHAME AND EVERLASTING CONTEMPT]” (Daniel 12:2).

“[FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR] before the judgment seat of Christ; that [EVERY ONE MAY RECEIVE THE THINGS DONE IN HIS BODY], according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (2 Corinthians 5:10).

“[WHO WILL RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS]:

To [THEM WHO BY PATIENT CONTINUANCE IN WELL DOING SEEK] for glory and honour and immortality, [ETERNAL LIFE]:

But unto [THEM THAT ARE CONTENTIOUS, AND DO NOT OBEY THE TRUTH], but [OBEY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, INDIGNATION AND WRATH], Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: [FOR THERE IS NO RESPECT OF PERSONS WITH GOD]” (Romans 2:6-11).

“[KEEP YOURSELVES IN THE LOVE OF GOD, LOOKING FOR THE MERCY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST UNTO ETERNAL LIFE]” (Jude 1:16-21).

“[LOOKING FOR THAT BLESSED HOPE, AND THE GLORIOUS APPEARING OF THE GREAT GOD AND OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST]” (Titus 2:13).

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).

Do you have the SAVIOR to escape the Wrath of God at the End of the World (Revelation 11:18)?

“O earth, earth, earth, [HEAR THE WORD] of the LORD” (Jeremiah 22:29).

“[LOOK UNTO ME, AND BE YE SAVED], all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:22).

“For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the LORD God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye” (Ezekiel 18:32).

“[FOR HE IS NOT A GOD OF THE DEAD, BUT OF THE LIVING: FOR ALL LIVE UNTO HIM]” (Luke 20:38).

“‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be [SAVED], and thy house’” (Acts 16:31).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that [WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH], but have [EVERLASTING LIFE].

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

[HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED]: but [HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY], because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).

“[HE THAT BELIEVETH ON THE SON HATH EVERLASTING LIFE]: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the [WRATH OF GOD] abideth on him” (John 3:36).

“[NO MAN HATH SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME; THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON], which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18).

“[FOR THERE IS ONE GOD, AND ONE MEDIATOR] between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” (1 Timothy 2:5–6).

Jesus Christ says: “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for [IF YE BELIEVE NOT THAT I AM HE, YE SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS]” (John 8:24).

“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me” (John 6:38).

“LET not your heart be troubled: [YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME]” (John 14:1).

“Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father” (John 6:46).

“All things that the Father hath are mine” (John 16:15).

“I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE]” (John 10:30).

“[THE FATHER LOVETH THE SON, AND HATH GIVEN ALL THINGS INTO HIS HAND]” (John 3:35).

“[THE TIME IS FULFILLED], and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel” (Mark 1:15).

“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32).

“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3).

“Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have [ETERNAL LIFE]: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not [COME TO ME, THAT YE MIGHT HAVE LIFE]” (John 5:39–40).

“[HE THAT REJECTETH ME, AND RECEIVETH NOT MY WORDS], hath one that judgeth him: [THE WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LAST DAY]” (John 12:48).

“[FOR AS A SNARE SHALL IT COME ON ALL THEM THAT DWELL ON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH]. [WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS], that ye may be accounted [WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS] that shall come to pass, [AND TO STAND BEFORE] the Son of man” (Luke 21:35-36).

“[I AM HE THAT LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).

CHRIST IS COMING (Revelation 11:18). There is ONLY ONE COMING! There is NO SECOND COMING! JESUS IS COMING ONE TIME on the LAST DAY which will be the DAY OF CHRIST the DAY OF JUDGMENT at the End of the World (Matthew 24:36; 25:31-34; 41; 46).

DO NOT BE DECEIVED by doctrines of the so called “rapture” and a “Second Coming”!

BELIEVE the word of God!

“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, [TELL US, WHEN SHALL THESE THINGS BE]? and [WHAT SHALL BE THE SIGN OF THY COMING, AND OF THE END OF THE WORLD]?” (Matthew 24:3).

“The LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. [AND HIS FEET SHALL STAND IN THAT DAY UPON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES], which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south” (Zechariah 14:8–9, 4).

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call” (Joel 2:31-32).

We must hold steadfast to the TRUTH and BELIEVE every word of GOD. We must not waver any anytime in our FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST because the time is soon COMING when our FAITH will be tried given the events unfolding in this world (Matthew 24:1-21).

The REDEMPTION of the Kingdom of God takes place in TWO PHASES as descried by the Apostle Paul when he said: “[CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS]; afterward they that are [CHRIST’S AT HIS COMING]” (1 Corinthians 15:23).

Who are the FIRSTFRUITS?

The FIRSTFRUITS to be redeemed from this earth to Heaven are the Saints or Servants of God who will be killed or “…slained for the word of God…” (Revelation 6:9-11) who are priests of God and of Christ (Revelation 20:6). In the Book of Revelation John wrote:

“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the [FIRSTFRUITS UNTO GOD AND TO THE LAMB]. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are [WITHOUT FAULT BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD]” (Revelation 14:4).

The REMAINING FRUITS are at the CHRIST’S COMING on the LAST DAY when those who are Christs: risen from the dead and alive will be GATHERED UNTO HIM IN JERUSALEM and then REDEEMED TO HEAVEN (Matthew 25:31–34) (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17).

Jesus very clearly says: “[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” (Matthew 24:29-30).

“[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 24:31). 

“[THEN COMETH THE END], when he shall have [DELIVERED UP] the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power” (1 Corinthians 15:24).

“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8).

“Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).

“To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (1 Peter 5:11).

God’s Elect the Children of God have NO FEAR of the sudden changes – glocal economic collapse, famines, food shortages; power outages, internet blackouts, water rationing, severe unemployment, homelessness and the list goes on – soon COMING in this world because our treasures are in heaven (Matthew 6:19-21).

“The LORD is my [LIGHT AND MY SALVATION; WHOM SHALL I FEAR]? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. (Psalm 27:1,5).

We are patiently waiting for the SALVATION OF GOD when our Lord Jesus comes at the End of the World (Matthew 24:36, 25:31-34).

“Blessed be the LORD, [WHO DAILY LOADETH US WITH BENEFITS], even the [GOD OF OUR SALVATION]. Selah” (Psalm 68:19).

“For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, [ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS]” (2 Corinthians 5:1).

“[FEAR BEFORE HIM, ALL THE EARTH]: [THE WORLD ALSO SHALL BE STABLE, THAT IT BE NOT MOVED]. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth” (1 Chronicles 16: 30-31).

“THE LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: [THE WORLD ALSO IS STABLISHED, THAT IT CANNOT BE MOVED].Thy throne is [ESTABLISHED OF OLD: THOU ART FROM EVERLASTING]” (Psalm 93:1-2).

“Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen” (Psalm 89:52).

SALVATION: WAIT patiently in peace and rest every day in the LORD to overcome this world to the End. “[WAIT] on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD” (Psalm 27:14).

“[FOR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD MEN HAVE NOT HEARD, NOR PERCEIVED BY THE EAR, NEITHER HATH THE EYE SEEN], O God, beside thee, what [HE HATH PREPARED FOR HIM THAT WAITETH FOR HIM]” (Isaiah 64:4).

 “I [WAIT] for the LORD, my soul doth [WAIT], and in his word do I hope” (Psalm 130:5).

“Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I [WAIT] all the day” (psalm 25:5).

“TRULY my soul [WAITETH] upon God: from him cometh my salvation” (Psalm 62:1).

“My soul, [WAIT] thou only upon God; [FOR MY EXPECTATION IS FROM HIM]” (Psalm 62:5).

“[REST] in the LORD, and [WAIT PATIENTLY FOR HIM]: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth” (Psalm 37:7-9).

“The LORD is good unto them that [WAIT] for him, to the soul that seeketh him. [IT IS GOOD THAT A MAN SHOULD BOTH HOPE AND QUIETLY WAIT] for the salvation of the LORD” (Lamentations 3:25-26).

“Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from [EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING]: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 106:48).

Let us keep FAITHFUL every day enduring to the end (Matthew 24:36). “For ye are all the children of God by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]” (Galatians 3:24).

Our Lord Jesus Christ warned that his COMING will be just as in the days of Noah before the great flood, and in the days of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah.

He expressed how “they did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and [THE FLOOD CAME], and [DESTROYED THEM ALL].

Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; but the same day that Lot went out of Sodom, [IT RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE] from heaven, and [DESTROYED THEM ALL]” (Luke 17:27–29).

JESUS asks: “Nevertheless when the Son of man [COMETH], shall he find [FAITH] on the earth? (Luke 18:8).

 “[BUT HE THAT ENDURETH TO THE END SHALL BE SAVED]” (Matthew 10:22).

“No man, having put his hand to the plough, [AND LOOKING BACK], is fit for the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62).

“Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32).

Lot, his wife and two daughters were elected to be SAVED from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The angels of God told them, saying: “Escape for thy life; [LOOK NOT BEHIND THEE], neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed” (Genesis 19:17).

Lot’s wife did not BELIEVE the word of God as spoken by the angels of God :…”LOOK NOT BEHIND THEE,…”.. Lot’s wife was disobedient to the word of God; LOT’S WIFE DID NOT ENDURE TO THE END AND LOST HER SALVATION!

Lot’s wife loved life so much in Sodom and Gomorrah that she had to have one last look, but it was not to be, because she turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26).

We must not to look back to this world on this earth to the LUSTS, PLEASURES, AND PRIDE OF LIFE, in other words, the “pollutions” of this world because Peter, a disciple of Jesus warned, saying:

“[FOR IF AFTER THEY HAVE ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS OF THE WORLD] through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, [THE LATTER END IS WORSE WITH THEM THAN THE BEGINNING]” (2 Peter 2:20).

The Apostle Paul also warned, said: “[TAKE HEED, BRETHREN, LEST THERE BE IN ANY OF YOU AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF, IN DEPARTING FROM THE LIVING GOD]. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto [THE END]” (Hebrews 3:12-14).

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen” (Romans 16:20).

“Grace be with all them that [LOVE] our Lord Jesus Christ in [SINCERITY]. Amen” (Ephesians 6:23-24).

“[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8). “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, [WORLD WITHOUT END]. Amen” (Ephesians 3:21).

Do you know that the whole of CREATION is not as yet complete (Revelation 10:6; 21:1-6)? “For we know that the [WHOLE CREATION GROANETH AND TRAVAILETH IN PAIN TOGETHER UNTIL NOW]” (Romans 8:22), said the Apostle Paul.

“And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it” (Romans 8:22-25).

Every day let us live in FAITH, HOPE AND PATIENCE even as the Apostle Paul encouraged us, saying: “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:18-19).

“HAVING therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, [PERFECTING HOLINESS IN THE FEAR OF GOD]” (2 Corinthians 7:1).

“For ye are all the [CHILDREN OF GOD] by [FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS]” (Galatians 3:24-29).

“[WHO HATH SAVED US, AND CALLED US WITH AN HOLY CALLING], not according to our works, but [ACCORDING TO HIS OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE], which was [GIVEN US IN CHRIST JESUS BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN]” (2 Timothy 1:9).

“Keep yourselves in the [LOVE OF GOD], [LOOKING FOR THE MERCY] of our Lord Jesus Christ unto [ETERNAL LIFE]” (Jude 1:21).

“[REJOICING IN HOPE]; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer” (Romans 12:12).

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” (2 Corinthians 13:14).

JESUS is coming down from Heaven AFTER THE GREAT PERIOD OF TRIBULATION for the DAY OF JUDGMENT on the LAST DAY at THE ENDING of the world (Matthew 24:1-4, 29-30) (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) (Revelation 1:7-8, 11:18)!

Our Lord JESUS CHRIST clearly says: “[NO MAN CAN COME TO ME], except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and [I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY]” (John 6:44).

“[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).

“If any man have an ear, let him hear. [HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES]” (Revelation 13:9, 2:29).

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and [KEEPETH HIS GARMENTS, LEST HE WALK NAKED], and they see his shame” (Revelation 16:15).

“And, behold, I come quickly; and [MY REWARD IS WITH ME, TO GIVE EVERY MAN ACCORDING AS HIS WORK SHALL BE]. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and [THE LAST]. [BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MAY HAVE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE, AND MAY ENTER IN THROUGH THE GATES INTO THE CITY]” (Revelation 22:12-14).

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and [EVERY EYE SHALL SEE HIM], and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen” (Revelation 1:8).

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” (Revelation 22:20-21).
