Revelation 1:7-8 <\/strong>– \u201cLook, he is coming with the clouds,\u201d and \u201cevery eye will see him, even those who pierced him\u201d; and all peoples on earth \u201cwill mourn\u00a0because of him.\u201d So shall it be! Amen. \u00a08\u00a0\u201cI am the Alpha and the Omega,\u201d\u00a0says the Lord God, \u201cwho is, and who was, and who is to come,\u00a0the Almighty.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLook, he is coming with the clouds,\u201d and \u201cevery eye will see him, even those who pierced him\u201d; and all peoples on earth \u201cwill mourn\u00a0because of him.\u201d\u00a0<\/span> Family, all of you who love the Lord, close your eyes and picture the scene as the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back to the earth in power and great majesty.\u00a0 Perhaps what the inhabitants of the earth first see is a huge cloud headed toward earth. All news stations have live camera feeds focused on this cloud.\u00a0 It fills Facebook live across millions of computer, tablet and phone screens.\u00a0\u00a0 People stand in the street and look up wondering what is happening.\u00a0 Some people are afraid and run to hide.\u00a0 Nobody has an explanation.\u00a0 The government and the meteorologists cannot explain it. There is simultaneously great fear and wonder throughout the world.\u00a0 Then the clouds open and what is first seen is Jesus emerging.\u00a0 Can you see Him, how majestic and grand! Then we, who are with Him, following Him as we have committed to always doing. \u00a0During this great moment of the Lord, He shares it with us.\u00a0 We are with Him.\u00a0 Praise God!<\/p>\n

Now what emotion does this scene bring to you?\u00a0 For those who love the Lord and long for Him, that scene brings great exhilaration, great joy!\u00a0 For those who have not loved the Lord, it brings great fear.\u00a0 They see the holes where the nails had been as He had hung on the cross.\u00a0 The realization of the horror of the lies they have lived.\u00a0 They cry, they mourn.\u00a0 Their comeuppance has arrived.\u00a0 Jesus who came first as the suffering Messiah to give hope to all who would follow is now returning as Jesus, the Lord and the conqueror of evil, of all who have and do oppose Him. For those who love the Lord, what great elation this scene brings.\u00a0 From those who have not loved him, the scene brings anger and also fear.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo shall it be! Amen.<\/span>\u201d We who have loved the Lord, and all who have ever loved Him, rejoice at the sight of His return.\u00a0 All the doubters who spread all the lies and all the rebellious who believed the lies have their folly revealed.\u00a0 All those who were mocked and stood for the Lord are vindicated.\u00a0 Our hearts sing \u201cHallelujah, praise the Lord!\u00a0 To the unbeliever we say \u201cwhat we have told you about, what you have mocked is here.\u00a0 Now, where is your arrogance? Now, where is your raised fist!\u00a0 Glory and honor and praise forever to Jesus our Savior and Lord!\u00a0 Praise to our mighty King!\u201d\u00a0 Oh Family, hallelujah!\u00a0 What a wonderful and fulfilling sight!\u00a0 We who belong to the Lord are vindicated.\u00a0 Jesus, who has been mocked and cursed for over two thousand years comes back as Victor and He appears in glory, power and majesty that none can withstand.\u00a0 Yes, those who love Him say \u201cSo shall it be! Amen.\u201d\u00a0 We revel in the glory of God and are proud to be with Him.\u00a0 For when He comes, we shall be with Him.\u00a0 Oh how humble, and proud we shall be to be in the glorious cloud of witnesses that come with Him!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI am the Alpha and the Omega,\u201d\u00a0says the Lord God, \u201cwho is, and who was, and who is to come,\u00a0the Almighty.”<\/span> \u00a0When John originally recorded the proclamation of Jesus being the Alpha and the Omega (To wit: The Beginning and the End) he fully wrote out \u201cAlpha.\u201d\u00a0 However he only began Omega, and did not spell it out.\u00a0 It was a subtle but emphatic statement from John that all things began through Jesus and that Jesus is the end of it all, yet there is no end to Jesus.\u00a0 The wonder of Him shall eternally be new revelations of amazement to us.\u00a0 He is the end with no ending, praise Jesus!\u00a0 Also, Jesus is not only the beginning and the end, but He is also everything in-between.\u00a0 He spiritually raises us from the dead and stays with us forever, to the end of this time, and beyond into infinity.\u00a0 Amazing!\u00a0 Yes, Jesus is amazing!\u00a0 Praise God!\u00a0 Because Jesus is God, He lives, He has always lived and He is coming back, as He promised.\u00a0 There is no \u201cif\u201d to that fact, it will be.\u00a0 We know it to be true because He said it.\u00a0 For those who do not love it, they will know the truth when He returns.\u00a0 For them a sad day.\u00a0 For us, the best of days!\u00a0 May the Lord be glorified!\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

Psalm 150:6<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Micah 7:7<\/strong>\u00a0– But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear\u00a0me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Micah 6:8<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0He has shown You, O man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; And what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of You but to do justly, to love mercy, And to walk humbly with Your God.<\/span><\/p>\n
