I Will Come Again

If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
John 14:3 NKJV

I Will Come Again
Yes, after our blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ accomplished what none of us could ever do, that is to settle the question of sin to the total satisfaction of God, He went to prepare us a place in the Father’s house. How? “With His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption” (Heb. 9:12). But He not only went to prepare this place for us, but He also promised us to personally come back, receive us to Himself, and bring us to that very place He has eternally secured for us. His words are simple and clear: “That where I am, there you may be also.” Is it not exactly what the Lord repeated to the apostle Paul? “The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord” (1 Th. 4:16–17).

But when will this blessed moment happen? Technically, there are no prophecies in the Bible that must be accomplished before the Lord comes to take us to Himself. There are the signs of the last days, but there are no signs for us. There are no precise indications, but we have the general indications concerning the purpose of God. If we look at the state of the Church in relation to its responsibility as a testimony (Rev. 3:14–22), and at this world and how things move faster and faster right in line with what is prophesied, we can only come to one conclusion: “For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry” (Heb. 10:37).

Let us not be discouraged by what is happening in this world, nor by the state of the Church, nor by things that might come our way, for “the Lord is at hand” (Phil. 4:5). Let us look up and go on faithfully. The Lord comes!

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
