\nLooking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Titus<\/em> 2:13.<\/p>\n
\nWhat a blessed hope it is to look forward to!
\nIt may be soon…. we should be waiting and ready, and looking up every day, for “Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, and those who pierced Him, and all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him. Yes! Amen!\u00a0 <\/em>Revelation 1:7.<\/p>\n
