“Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen” (Revelation1:7).

Every eye will see Him.  Does every eye mean that everyone is resurrected?  Yes. some for eternal glory and others for eternal separation.  Let this simple truth be known by you.  This is our confession, that we believe that Christ will judge the living and the dead.  All will stand before Christ.  What kind of person ought you to be knowing these things.  If you have been saved, be one who looks forward to His coming.

Lord, You have said these things over and over and I did not listen.  Help me, I pray, to understand the simple facts that You have spoken so that I may understand good doctrine and not be led astray by those who tickle my ears.  Lead me in the truth so that I may live the new life that You have given me by grace and through faith.  Guide me to rejoice in the revelation You have given me so that all who hear may believe and follow You.

Lord Jesus, You are the King of kings, and the day will come when I stand before You face to face.  Guide me, dear Lord, in the way of life that You have established.  Help me to know that only in You is there hope and a future.  In the goodness that You have revealed, help me to live this life fully in blessed assurance of all the promises that You have given.  Guide me to learn how to be more faithful.  Amen.
