☦️ The Second Coming of Christ and the Last Judgment: Are We Ready?

“Behold, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him” (Rev 1:7).

Dear brothers and sisters,

When the Lord Jesus Christ returns in glory, it will not be as the humble Child of Bethlehem, nor as the suffering Servant on the Cross, but as the fearful Judge of the living and the dead. The heavens will be rolled up like a scroll, the elements will melt with fervent heat, and every human soul—from Adam to the last person born—will stand before His throne.

There will be no place to hide.

No excuse will stand.

No repentance after death.

The books will be opened.

Our words, thoughts, and deeds—every idle word, every secret sin, every act of love or hatred—will be revealed in the light of His countenance.

Yet this same fearful Judge is the One who stretched out His arms on the Cross for us. The One who desires not the death of the sinner, but that he should turn and live.

☦️ Now is the time of mercy.

After the Second Coming—only justice.

Let us fall on our knees today.

Let us confess, repent, pray, fast, give alms, forgive, and love while we still have time.

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” (Matt 25:13)
