Revelation 1:7; Behold, He Cometh with Clouds

Revelation 1:7 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.

Jesus will come without warning. And the scope of His judgment will be worldwide. He will descend upon the earth from the third heaven, the abode of God and appar in the second heaven, the clouds will usher His physical coming. He will appear in the skies and every eye shall see Him. Today, leading nations of the world are erecting the best telescope to view the heavens, seeking to detect movement in the heavens that may be of interest to us. These telescopes are both on earth and mounted on satellites. The occult world understood the Bible well enough to know that their nemesis will come at the appointed time from heaven to bind them into everlasting destruction.

The battle to deceive the hearts of men to acknowledge their Maker has never been so keen than in the days leading to Christ’s return. Yet, there has not been an age where the message of the gospel can be and has been so widely and constantly preached. What exciting times we live in!

The church of Jesus Christ is called to stand up and be courageous for the battle of this age! The hymn by Philip Bliss – Hold the Fort provides us the feel of the battle before us.

1. Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!
   Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.
   • Refrain:
     “Hold the fort, for I am coming,” Jesus signals still;
     Wave the answer back to Heaven, “By Thy grace we will.”
2. See the mighty host advancing, Satan leading on;
   Mighty ones around us falling, courage almost gone!
3. See the glorious banner waving! Hear the trumpet blow!
   In our Leader’s Name we triumph over every foe.
4. Fierce and long the battle rages, but our help is near;
   Onward comes our great Commander, cheer, my comrades, cheer!

May the Lord strengthen His church to do her bidding. Amen.
