My, what faithful Bible students you are! You made it through many installments of “Signs of the Times,” and I pray you are better equipped for Jesus’ return than ever before! We’re closing out this series in a most positive way, as we consider the day of Jesus’ appearance to redeem us (believers in Jesus) from this world!

Put your seatbelt on and hang on for the ride! We’re sticking solely with Scripture today, and you are about to be blessed!

²⁸ Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.

~Luke 21:28

¹⁰ …wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

~1 Thessalonians 1:10

²⁰ For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

~Philippians 3:20

14 “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. ² In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

~John 14:1-3

¹³ But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. ¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. ¹⁵ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. ¹⁶ For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷ Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

~1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³ For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 

~1 Corinthians 15:51-53

¹³ …looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

~Titus 2:13

Amen!
