HE WILL BE RIGHT ON TIME

Christians have just celebrated Christmas, the day we have chosen to honor the birth of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God; the next significant holiday for the Church, is our celebration of His Resurrection from the dead on the day which has come to be known as Easter.  And while Easter does fall on the first day of the week, Sunday, it is does not always occur on the first day of the week following the Jewish Feast of Passover.  In summary, and quite sadly, it appears that the Church does not seem to worry about the accuracy of the Ecclesiastical Calendar. 

However, there is one important day coming which will be exactly on time!  Jesus taught His disciples that even He did not know the day or the hour of His return to establish His earthly kingdom.  Mark 13:32 says, "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."  The only thing we do know for sure, is that Jesus is coming again!  Here are the ten verses from the Book of Revelation which describe it:

1:4 - "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him (Who) is, and (Who) was, and (Who) is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne."
1:8 - "I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, (Who) is, and (Who) was, and (Who) is to come, the Almighty."
2:25 - "But that which ye have already hold fast till I come."
3:11 - "Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown."
4:8 - "And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, (Who) was, and (Who)is, and (Who) is to come."
11:17 - "Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, (Who) art, and (Who) wast, and (Who is) to come; because Thou hast taken to thee Thy great power, and hast reigned."
16:15 - "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame."
22:7 - "Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book."
22:12 - "And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be."
22:20 - "He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.  Amen.  Even so, come, Lord Jesus."

2 Timothy 4:8
"Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness,
which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day:
and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing."
