The great crescendo of Scripture is the return of Christ. When this Groom and Judge arrives, there will be two suppers, one for a wedding and another for wrath.

We separate from the world, shun the darkness, and reject conformity to this age. Babylon will crumble, all her patrons left to mourn; but we press on, seeking the lasting city which is to come—the new Jerusalem to come.

The call for alertness is the call to enlist in His army. May we follow the Lamb, stay awake, and fight for Him. Long live King Jesus!

There is mercy in the blood of Jesus is for all who repent and follow Him. But the “King of the nations” and “the ruler of the kings of the earth” will indeed destroy all who corrupt His world.
