When Jesus said in Revelation 22:7, “Behold I am coming quickly!” Many have taken that to mean that He said, “I am coming Soon!” But I would suggest you another way to understand that phrase. He is not talking about the timing of His coming but the manner of His coming. In other words, His coming will be quick. I Corinthians 15:52 says, he will come in “the twinkling of an eye.” In Matthew 25 He shares with the disciples the parable of the 10 virgins, and how the bridegoom’s coming caught 5 unprepared.

The Son brings life to those who seemed to be dead, it brings beauty into the life of those who were once ugly. As we allow the Son to shine upon us we find it warming our hearts, and giving us new life and we beautify the area that we are apart of. What a wonder is the glow of the … READ MORE
