The return of Jesus is the great hope of the church and the ardent desire of the children of God and those who gave their lives to God, unconditionally.

The day of Christ's return will be humanity's next greatest event, it is the church's most anticipated event and it will be a moment of great joy for those who love God fully and with primacy.

Malachi 4:2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves.

The last day of the Lord is very near, when we will be received in the clouds by our Lord and Savior, where He will reward each one according to their works.

Revelation 1:7 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all peoples on earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.

Revelation 22:12 Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.

We don't know exactly when the day will be, but we know that the day is very close, because as Jesus spoke, the signs of God show that the time is near:

Luke 21:7 Teacher, they asked, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place? 8 He replied: Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, I am he, and, The time is near. Do not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away. 10 Then he said to them: Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

1 Thessalonians 5:1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, Peace and safety, destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

Jesus said: BE CAREFUL; SO THAT YOU DON'T BE DECEIVED, because Satan is deceiving and deceiving many, cauterizing minds and transforming the greatest PROMISE OF GOD, WHICH IS SALVATION, into something banal, distant and unimportant.

Luke 21:8 He replied: Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, I am he, and, The time is near. Do not follow them.

JESUS ​​WILL COME YES and determine judgment on all things, whether they are good or bad, because He is the just judge, the judge of all the earth.

Revelation 22:7 Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.

Revelation 22:12 Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.

Then will be revealed those who are the blessed and those who are the cursed, those who are the wheat and those who are tares and the difference between those who serve and those who do not serve God:

Malachi 3:17 On the day when I act, says the Lord Almighty, they will be my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as a father has compassion and spares his son who serves him. 18 And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

THEREFORE:

Revelation 22:10 Then he told me, Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near. 11 Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.

AMEN, COME LORD JESUS.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
