Him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and

- Ezek. 12:22-23,25
"What is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days
are prolonged, and every vision faileth? 23 Tell them therefore, Thus saith the LORD GOD; I will make
this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but
say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision...
25 For
I am the LORD: I will speak, and the Word that I shall speak shall come to pass;
It shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will
I say the Word, and will perform It, saith the LORD GOD."
- Luke 12:45-48
"45
But and if that servant say in his heart, My LORD delayeth His Coming; and shall
begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
46 The
LORD of that servant will come in a Day when he looketh not for Him, and at an Hour
when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion
with the unbelievers. 47 And that servant, which knew his LORD's will, and prepared
not himself, neither did according to His Will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 But
he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few
stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to
whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."

darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong;
there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the
years of many generations... 11 And the LORD shall utter His Voice before His Army: for
His Camp is very great: for He is Strong that executeth His Word: for the

Day of the LORD come."

whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And
with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received

but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

with you, as ye have spoken. 15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment
in the gate: it may be that the LORD God Of Hosts will be gracious..."

you a Mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in
the twinkling of an eye, at the Last Trump: for the Trumpet shall sound, and
the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible
must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality... 57 But thanks be
to God, Which giveth us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved
brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the LORD, forasmuch
as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the LORD."

"15
For this we say unto you by the Word of the LORD, that we which are alive and
remain unto the Coming of the LORD shall not prevent them [literally, shall not preceed them] which
are asleep. 16
For the LORD Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
Archangel, and with the Trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which
are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to
meet the LORD in the air: and so shall we ever be with the LORD. 18 Wherefore comfort
one another with these Words."
"Whereby are given unto us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises:
that by These ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience Godliness;
And to Godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
For if these things be in you, and abound,
They make you that ye shall neither be barren nor
unfruitful
in the Knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ."
2 Peter 1:4-8
The Bridegroom is
COMING SOON!
