JESUS IS COMING AGAIN.

Do you know it? There will be one class who will not know. Of them the apostle says: “The day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.” This class go to destruction because they fail to heed the warning against the “wrath to come.”

There will be another class who will know, not the day and the hour of His coming, but the time when that coming is near. Of this class the apostle thus speaks: “But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: for ye are all the sons of light, and sons of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness.” See 1 Thess. 5:1-5. And Jesus makes the knowledge of His near coming a duty. In speaking of the signs of His near coming to be seen everywhere in the world, Jesus says: “When ye see all these things, know ye that He is nigh, even at the doors.” Matt. 24:32.

In which of these classes, reader, do you stand? Will you be among those who, under the siren song of peace, float on to destruction? or, will you be among those who heed the warnings, who wait and watch for His coming, and will rejoice when He appears? The choice is thine.
