“REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH!!!”
38- For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39- And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40- Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41- Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42- Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43- But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44- Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
One of my favorite hymns is “Redemption Draweth Nigh” which really makes me get excited of the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I love to see my children having their own families and looking forward of seeing our grand kids grow in this troubled world; but there’s nothing more great than to experience the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Rapture would be one of the greatest events in the human history. We know that the Virgin Birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection and ascension were the greatest events that happened since creation. And there are other recorded events in the Holy Bible and secular and history books that I believe were great, but the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is one of the greatest prophecies of the Bible.
Notice the message of the song Written by: Gordon Jensen
Years of time have come and gone
Since I first heard it told
How Jesus would come again some day
If back then it seemed so real
Then I just can’t help but feel
How much closer His coming is today
Signs of the times are everywhere
There’s a brand new feeling in the air
Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky
Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh
Wars and strife on every hand
And violence fills the land
Still some people doubt He’ll ever come again
But the Word of God is true
He’ll redeem His chosen few
Don’t lose hope soon Christ Jesus will descend
Since I first heard it told
How Jesus would come again some day
If back then it seemed so real
Then I just can’t help but feel
How much closer His coming is today
Signs of the times are everywhere
There’s a brand new feeling in the air
Keep your eyes upon the eastern sky
Lift up your head redemption draweth nigh
Wars and strife on every hand
And violence fills the land
Still some people doubt He’ll ever come again
But the Word of God is true
He’ll redeem His chosen few
Don’t lose hope soon Christ Jesus will descend
In the Book of (Titus 2:13- 14) 13- “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14- Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. “
