MARANATHA! (Rev 1:1-8)

SUDDEN!

a) Unexpected (Matt 24:40)

“Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left.”

b) Like lightning (Matt 24:27)

“For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.”

c) Like a thief (1 Thess 5:2)

“For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.”

 

SPECTACULAR!

Personal, Visible, Glorious, Every eye will see Him (Matt 24:30)

“Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man…..”

 

SOLEMN!

Matt 25:31-32 – “…and He will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats”

 

SOON!

Rom 13:11 “Now is our salvation nearer than when we first believed”
